Soul Treat...Chidananda

Chidananda by Deva Premal & Miten

   When I first listened to Chidananda it brought tears to my eyes...I can't explain exactly what it does to me, but I feel such a stirring deep in my soul when I hear this beautifully sung mantra...just sit back and close your eyes and just soak up this feast of magical words put to music sung by the voice of an angel:-) This is truly a treat for the soul!

CHIDANANDA

Manobuddhi ahamkara chita ni naham 

Nachashotre jiv-hey nachaghrana netre 

Nacha vioma bhoomir na tejoe na vayu 

Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham 

Nachaprana saugno na vã puncha vayu 

Navah sapto dhatoo navaa puncha koshah 

Na waak pani paadam nachapasta paayu 

Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham 

Na me dvãsha rago na me lobha mo-hoe 

Mado naiva me naiva matsarya bhava 

Na dharmo na chartoe na kaamo na 

moksha 

Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham 

Na punyam na paapam na saukyum na 

dhukham 

Na mantro na tirtham name daa na yug na 

ha 

Aham bhoja namnaiva bhojyam na bhokta 

Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham 

Na mrootyur na shanka na me jaati bhed

Pita naiva me naiva maata na janma 

Na bandhur na mitram gurunaiva shishya 

Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham 

Aham nirvekalpo nirakaara roopo 

Vibureviapya sarvatra sarvendriyani 

Sadame samatvah na muktir na bandha 

Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham

I am eternal bliss, I am shiva. 

I am not the mind, intellect, ego 

nor consciousness. 

I am not the ears, tongue, nose or 

eyes.  

I am not space, earth, fire or wind. 

I am eternal bliss, I am shiva. 

I am not breathing power, the seven 

metals, nor the five coverings. 

I am not speech, hands, feet  

nor the rectum. 

I am eternal bliss, I am shiva. 

I am not envy, anger, nor craving nor 

attraction. 

I am not arrogance nor pride nor 

religion, wealth, lust nor liberation. 

I am eternal bliss, I am shiva. 

I am not virtue, sin, joy nor sorrow. 

I am not mantra, pilgrimage, 

offering, nor ritual fire. 

I am not food, the eating, nor the one 

who eats. 

I am eternal bliss, I am shiva. 

I am not death, doubt, nor 

discrimination of cast. 

I am not father, mother or birth. 

I am not brother, nor friend, nor guru, 

nor aspirant. 

I am eternal bliss, I am shiva. 

I am beyond concept, beyond form. 

I am all-pervading in all the senses. 

I see equality in all things, I am 

neither liberated nor in bondage. 

I am eternal bliss, I am shiva.

Namaste,
