Aham Nirguna Akshara Nirmala Kutastha Kevala Satchitananda
I am the mother of all manifested forms I am the father known as the immovable substratum My children are the names born of mind In me they move and shift forms like waves None knows me through empty reasoning Except through the words of the indomitable Shruti I am the subtler than the subtle and the greatest I am the Lord of the Chariot with five horses Aham Nirguna Akshara Nirmala Kutastha Kevala Satchitananda I weave the universe with myself as the material I am the One Non dually One I am the Primodial Self I am the Absolute Aho aham namo mahyam, Vinasho yasya nasti me Brahmadis tamba paryantam jagan nasho pi tishthitah I am the mother of all manifested forms I am the father known as the immovable substratum My children are the names born of mind In me they move and shift forms like waves None knows me through empty reasoning Except through the words of the indomitable Shruti I am the subtler than the subtle and the greatest I am indeed the Lord of this Chariot Aham Nirguna Akshara Nirmala Kutastha Kevala Satchitananda (x2) I am the One Non dually One I am the Primordial Self I am the Absolute 02. Ananya Chaitanya Music & lyrics by Rudra
Like Asuras we worship blindness
Innocence raped by Avidya Tying oneself to the wheel of Samsara by seeking that which is impermanent This delusion of a million births gets destroyed when one knows this Ananya Chaitanya Shaivoham Shivoham Nityananda Shivoham Chidananda Shivoham Ananya Chaitanya This eternal stream of consciousness vibrating in every iota As the changeless principle behind the changing phenomenon Om Namah Shivaya (x4) That Purusha is I Veiled as it were by a bright vessel That Purusha is all, is indeed One The Jiva who knows this gains all This the Ishavasya reveals as Ananya Chaitanya Shaivoham Shivoham Nityananda Shivoham Chidananda Shivoham Ananya Chaitanya (x2) 03. The Pathless Path To The Knowable Unknown Music & lyrics by Rudra
Hara Hara Shankara Shiva Shiva Shankara (x4)
Ishwaro Gururatmeti Murti bheda Vibhagine Vyomavad vyapta dehaya Dakshinamurataye namah Renouncing the pleasures of thousand heavens Destroying the absurd believes of the Lost Having gained the wealth that can be robbed Let the shruti be heard from a Guru This pathless path where the Unknowable is known Frees oneself from the tyranny of inadequacy The Freedom gained is Limitation removed The Knowledge gained is ignorance removed "It is known to him to whom it is unknown; he to whom it is known does not know it. It is unknown to those who know, and known to those who know not." Not knowing this I die Not knowing this I am born Not knowing this I strive Knowing this I become Immortal There is no difference between Jiva, Gagat & Ishwara There is no difference between Ishwara, Guru & Atma Atma Satyam Jaganmithya (x4) Ishwaro Gururatmeti Murti bheda Vibhagine Vyomavad vyapta dehaya Dakshinamurataye namah Hara Hara Shankara Shiva Shiva Shankara (x8) 04. There The Sun Never Shines Music & lyrics by Rudra
An abode unheard of to the ones who trust in oblations
It cannot be won through rituals and enjoyments This highest abode shines like a thousand suns Which burns away the darkness of a thousand births And yet there the Sun never shines Amala, Achala, Shuddha, Chaitanyam Satyam, Purnam, Anantam Atma "The indwelling Self of all is surely He of whom the heaven is the head, The moon and sun are the two eyes, the directions are the two ears, The revealed Vedas are the speech, air is the vital force, The whole Universe is the heart, All It is He from whose two feet emerged the earth" An abode where the servant becomes the master An abode where the master becomes the servant This highest abode shines like a thousand suns Which burns away the darkness of a thousand births And yet there the Sun never shines Amala, Achala, Shuddha, Chaitanyam Satyam, Purnam, Anantam Atma I am the abode where the sun never shines I am the abode from which emerges the Universe Amala, Achala, Shuddha, Chaitanyam Satyam, Purnam, Anantam Atma (x2) I am the abode where the sun never shines I am the abode from which emerges the Universe (x2) 05. Veil Of Maya Music & lyrics by Rudra
Brahmanandamn Paramasukhadam Kevalam Jnanamurthim
Dvandvaatheetham Gaganasadrusam Tathwamasyaadhi Lakshyam Ekam Nithyam Vimalam Achalam Sarvadhee Saakshibhutam Bhaavaatheetham Trigunarahitham Sadgurum Namami Vairagya drives me insane and desperately I seek with faggots in hand, A Guru with Shraddha For he is well versed in the Shruti that severs Samsara He take me beyond the gates of sorrow and pain through knowledge One is the Southern Course, filled with pain and pleasure And there is the Northern Course, which leads to renunciation Through restraint the Northern Course I won It is the path where the sun is conquered and the self is merged in Purusha That Purusha, without names & forms and Immortality are one and the same Thus was the instruction from the Guru who has transcended the veil of Maya The colossal error called Adhyasa was removed by Apavada This Brahmavidya alone is the panacea for the disease of Bhavasagara Adhyaropa Apavada (x2) Negation of the Superimposition (x2) 06. Ageless Consciousness, I Am Music & lyrics by Rudra
All Karmas proceed with the force to either remove pain or gain pleasure
Experiencing pleasure and pain, we roam the streets of Samsara Where there is Birth, there will be certain pain There is certain Death, and nothing to gain Not knowing light from darkness we roam the streets of misery In beauty there is ugliness In ugliness I see beauty too What a repulsive body that I have which oozes grime and filth These carnal desires do I find unfulfilling Where there is Birth, there will be certain pain There is certain Death, and nothing to gain Sadashiva Samarambham Shankaracharya Madhyamam Asmadacharya Paryantam Vande Guru Paramparam Finally the Truth is seen Unknowable once to me but now known to me What an error it is to take myself to be what I am not No words can reveal me Yet words alone set me free The beatitude revealed through desciplic succession No delusion for me I am the ever free No illusion for me I am the ever free Sadashiva Samarambham Shankaracharya Madhyamam Asmadacharya Paryantam Vande Guru Paramparam... 07. Meditations On The Mahavakya Music & lyrics by Rudra
Ekam Eva Advitiyam (x3)
Meditation on the axiom that Shvetaketu recived from his father It destroys the life of becoming someone other than what you are The preceptor of nobility wields the garland of words from the Veda Stringed with the right method, to reveal the Lord that you already are The destruction of preconceived notions is possible but only with a purified mind You listen, then you comtemplate and free yourself from the delusion By seeing that 'That' and 'thou' are indeed one since the dawn of time Through this axiom the self is realised Through this eralisation you gain Immortality Throught this attainment you'll realise that you are everything Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma This is Brahman Thou are Brahman All is Brahman That Thou Art (x2) Ekam Eva Adivitiyam (x4) 08. Aham Brahmasmi Music & lyrics by Rudra
That which Yajnavalkya sought away from home
That which Maitreyi wanted to know is That which by seeking, all is known Is but the Self within Aham Brahmasmi (x4) The world resolves into my senses The senses resolve in the mind The mind resolves in the "I" And the "I" resolves in the Self What is left to be known? Once the Self is known What is left to be seen? When there is nothing left to see The Self prevails when you destroy the veils Of duality caused by the absence of vidya It is not an effect caused It is that which is uncaused Beyond the ken of causality That which is to be known solely through Atmavichara Aham Brahmasmi (x8) 09.

In The Fourth Quarter: Turiya Music & lyrics by Rudra
I am not Vaishvanara, the first
I am not Taijasa, the second I am not Prajna, the third I am the Turiya, the fourth I am Satyam which cannot be negated I am Chit that is Omniscient I am Ananda that is all pervasive I am the Lord of All, Om The fouth prevades the three as an invariable existence The three cannot stand apart from the fourth The three letters, which constitutes (Om), is pervaded by the Self Certainly Om is the Self-Absolute I am the One who shines in the Sun & the Moon I am the One who shines in you I am the One in whose presence existence shines I am indeed the Light of lights In all states of experience I shine alone I am Shivam, Shivahom Ayam Atma Brahma (x2) Om Shanti Shanti Shanti |
