 Om Namah Shivaya

Om Namah Shivaya Gurave
Saccidananda Murtaye
Nisprapancaya Shantaya
Niralambaya Tejase

Om Namah Shivaya Gurave
Om na-ma she-va-ya gu-ra-vay
I bow to the goodness within myself who is the true teacher within and without

Saccidananda Murtaye
Sat-chit-da-nan-da moor-ti-ay
In the forms of reality, consciousness and bliss

Nisprapancaya Shantaya
Nish-pra-pan-chi-ya shan-ta-ya
Ever present and full of peace

Niralambaya Tejase
Near-a-lum-by-ya tay-ja-say
Independent in its existence, it is the vital essence of illumination
​
​OM Shanti Shanti Shanti OM
