Deva Premal - Song of Shiva

Adi Shankara, of the eighth century, summarized the entirety of Advaita Vedanta in six stanzas. ... (Chidananda Rupa Shivoham Shivoham) ... Mano Buddhi Ahankara Chitta Ninaham Nacha Shrotra Jihve Na Cha Ghrana Netre Nacha Vyoma Bhoomir Na Tejo Na Vayu Chidananda Rupa Shivoham Shivoham ... I am not the mind, intellect, ego, or memory. I am not the eyes, ears, nose, tongue or skin. I am not the earth, wind, fire, water or ether. Indeed, I am consciousness-bliss, I am Shiva. Na Cha Prana Samjno Na Vai Pancha Vayu Na Va Saptadhatur Na Va Pancha Koshah Na Vak Pani Padau Na Chopastha Payu Chidananda Rupa Shivoham Shivoham I am not prana, the five types of breath, the seven material essences, nor the five coverings. I am not the rectum, genitals, legs, hands or mouth. Indeed, I am consciousness-bliss, I am Shiva. Na Me Dvesha Ragau Na Me Lobha Mohau Mado Naiva Me Naiva Matsarya Bhavah Na Dharmo Na Chartho Na Kamo Na Mokshah Chidananda Rupa Shivoham Shivoham I have no hatred or dislike, no affiliation or liking, no greed or delusion, no pride or haughtiness, no feelings of envy or jealousy. I have no duty (dharma), no wealth, no desire (kama), nor liberation (moksha). Indeed, I am consciousness-bliss, I am Shiva. Na Punyam Na Papam Na Saukhyam Na Dukham Na Mantro Na Teertham Na Vedo Na Yajnaha Aham Bhojanam Naiva Bhojyam Na Bhokta Chidananda Rupa Shivoham Shivoham I have neither merit, nor demerit. I do not commit deeds, bad or good, I am neither happy nor sad, I experience neither pain nor pleasure. I do not need mantras, holy places, scriptures, rituals or sacrifices. I am not the seer nor the seen, the experience or the experiencer. Indeed, I am consciousness-bliss, I am Shiva. Na Me Mrityu Shanka Na Me Jati Bhedah Pita Naiva Me Naiva Mata Na Janma Na Bandhur Na Mitram Gurur Naiva Shishyah Chidananda Rupa Shivoham Shivoham I have no fear of death, I am deathless. I have no separation of Self, no doubt of my existence, nor caste discrimination. I have no father or mother, as I was never born. I am no one's relative, friend, guru, or disciple. Indeed, I am consciousness-bliss, I am Shiva. Aham Nirvikalpo Nirakara Roopaha Vibhur Vyapya Sarvatra Sarvendriyanam Sada Me Samatvam Na Muktir Na Bandhah Chidananda Rupa Shivoham ... I am all-pervasive. I have no attributes, I am formless. I have no world attachment, nor am I liberated. I have no wish for anything as I am everything, everywhere, always, always in equilibrium. Indeed, I am consciousness-bliss, I am Shiva. These stanzas, are known as "Atma Shatakam." ... Photo credit: Dev Gogoi http://devgogoi.wordpress.com/
