Mystic Chants – Nirvana Shatakam
21 Dec 2012 10 Comments PREVIOUS ARTICLE NEXT ARTICLE
As we announced last week, Vairagya, an album consisting of chants sung
by Isha Brahmacharis, is being released today – on the occasion of the
Suryakund consecration. This week we bring to you the first of these
chants, the Nirvana Shatakam. A tune that stirs the very depths of one’s
being, it has moved many who visited the Isha Yoga Center to tears.
Composed by Adi Shankara himself, it embodies the very essence of
Vairagya. In Sadhguru’s own words, Nirvana is that which is without
form.

Nirvana means ‘formless’.
The Nirvana Shatakam is towards this – you don’t want to be either this
or that. If you don’t want to be this nor that, then what do you want to
be? Your mind cannot understand this because your mind always wants
to be something. If I say, “I don’t want to be this; I don’t want to be that,”
you would think, “Oh something super!” Not super. “Oh, so emptiness?”
Not emptiness. “Nothingness?” Not nothingness.
That’s what is being conveyed through this chant.
mano buddhi ahankara chittani naaham
na cha shrotravjihve na cha ghraana netre
na cha vyoma bhumir na tejo na vaayuhu
chidananda rupah shivo’ham shivo’ham
I am not the mind, the intellect, the ego or the memory,
I am not the ears, the skin, the nose or the eyes,
I am not space, not earth, not fire, water or wind,
I am the form of consciousness and bliss,
I am the eternal Shiva…
na cha prana sangyo na vai pancha vayuhu
na va sapta dhatur na va pancha koshah
na vak pani-padam na chopastha payu
chidananda rupah shivo’ham shivo’ham
I am not the breath, nor the five elements,
I am not matter, nor the 5 sheaths of conciousness
Nor am I the speech, the hands, or the feet,
I am the form of consciousness and bliss,
I am the eternal Shiva…

na me dvesha ragau na me lobha mohau
na me vai mado naiva matsarya bhavaha
na dharmo na chartho na kamo na mokshaha
chidananda rupah shivo’ham shivo’ham
There is no like or dislike in me, no greed or delusion,
I know not pride or jealousy,
I have no duty, no desire for wealth, lust or liberation,
I am the form of consciousness and bliss,
I am the eternal Shiva…
na punyam na papam na saukhyam na duhkham
na mantro na tirtham na veda na yajnah
aham bhojanam naiva bhojyam na bhokta
chidananda rupah shivo’ham shivo’ham
No virtue or vice, no pleasure or pain,
I need no mantras, no pilgrimage, no scriptures or rituals,
I am not the experienced, nor the experience itself,
I am the form of consciousness and bliss,
I am the eternal Shiva…
na me mrtyu shanka na mejati bhedaha
pita naiva me naiva mataa na janmaha
na bandhur na mitram gurur naiva shishyaha
chidananda rupah shivo’ham shivo’ham
I have no fear of death, no caste or creed,
I have no father, no mother, for I was never born,
I am not a relative, nor a friend, nor a teacher nor a student,
I am the form of consciousness and bliss,
I am the eternal Shiva…
aham nirvikalpo nirakara rupo
vibhut vatcha sarvatra sarvendriyanam
na cha sangatham naiva muktir na meyaha
chidananda rupah shivo’ham shivo’ham
I am devoid of duality, my form is formlessness,
I exist everywhere, pervading all senses,
I am neither attached, neither free nor captive,
I am the form of conciousness and bliss,
I am the eternal Shiva…
As a part of the Mystic Chants series, we will be releasing the rest of the
Vairagya chants, one every week for free. To support our efforts, you could

I have a doubt! I thought Shiva means which is everywhere, every-time, as
everything. We cannot point this or that to be shiva. Everything is shiva. But in this
song, the lyrics are like,
I am not the mind, the intellect, the ego or the memory,
I am not the ears, the skin, the nose or the eyes,
I am not space, not earth, not fire, water or wind, etc.....
But Shiva means earth too , fire too, water too , wind too, space too right.
(Everything including nothing). If so, why they are telling like that.
If you have answer please feel free sending to [email protected]

After first time I listened Nirvana Shatakam in Isha,I searched in Web for a copy for
myself and found so many people sung Nirvana Shatakam but they were no where
close to this. As always anything comes out of Isha is absolutely unique and this
one they way it was presented shakes me up from within. Thank you Sadhguru for
your blessings and grace.
