I am Shiva

 

 

Just remember I found this on line the other day....

 

Shivo'ham, Shivo'ham

Mano buddhya hankara chittani naham

Na cha shrotra jihve na cha ghrana netre

Na cha vyoma bhumir na tejo na vayuh

Chid ananda rupah shivo' ham shivo' ham

 

I am neither the mind, intellect, ego nor memory,

neither the ears nor the tongue nor the senses of smell and sight,

neither ether, air, fire, water or earth.

I am consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

 

Na punyam na papam na saukhyam na duhkam

Na mantro na tirtham na veda na yajnah

Aham bhojanam naiva bhojyam na bhokta

Chid ananda rupah shivo' ham shivo' ham

 

I am neither virtue nor vice, neither pleasure nor pain,

neither mantra nor sacred place, neither scripture nor sacrifice.

I am neither the food nor the eater nor the act of eating.

I am consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva, I am Shiva.

 

 

 

 

 

Apurvanam param nityam

Svayam jyotir niramayam

Virajam param akasham dhruvam

Ananda mavyayam

 

I am beyond all things.

I am everlasting, self-luminous,

taintless, and completely pure.

I am immovable, blissful, and imperishable.

 

Aham nirvi kalpo nira kara rupo

Vibhut va cha sarvatra sarvendri yanam

Na chasan gatam naiva muktir na meyah

Chid ananda rupah shivo' ham shivo' ham

 

I am without thought, without form.

I am all pervasive, I am everywhere, yet I am beyond all senses.

I am neither detachment nor salvation nor anything that could be measured.

I am consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva, I am Shiva

- Sri Shankaracharya (788-820

A.D.)
