It seems that in meditation the last few hours, so much is coming up... so many past identities... even within this lifetime, arising and just melting away. Sitting before the fire, remembering a precious full moon in May, accepting the sacred invitation to become a Swami in the Giri Order, with friends, celebrating tossing my old life as it was know to me in the sacred fire... celebrating... singing, in the Himalaya, a song returned last night again. To all my friends, Swamis, in the Himalaya and throughout the world, whose names can not be remembered, but whose fire, radiance, and smiles will always be present within the heart. My friends, let us sing again together, our song of surrender, of Truth, of Joy. CHIDANANDA Mano buddhya hankara chit a ni naham Nacha shotra jihve na cha ghrana netre Nacha vyoma bhoomir na tejo na vayu Chidananda rupah shivoham shivoham Na cha prana sangno na vai pancha vayu Na va sapta dhatur na va pancha koshah Na vak pani padam na chopastha payu Chidananda rupah shivoham shivoham Na me dvesha ragau na me lobha mohau Mado naiva me naiva matsarya bhavah Na dharmo na chartho na kamo na moksha Chidananda rupah shivoham shivoham Na punyam na papam na saukhyam na dukham Na mantro na tirtham na veda na yagnaha Aham bhojanam naiva bhojyam na bhokta Chidananda rupah shivoham shivoham Na me mrityu shanka na me jati bhedah Pita naiva me naiva mata na janma Na bandhur na mitram gururnaiva shishya Chidananda rupah shivoham shivoham Aham nirvikalpo nirakara rupo Vibhur vyapya sarvatra sarvendriyanam Sada me samatvam na muktir na bandhah Chidananda rupah shivoham shivoham Am not the mind, intellect, ego nor memory. Am not the ears, tongue, nose or eyes. Am not the five elements: space, earth, fire, wind or water. Just eternal bliss, Just Shiva (the Beloved, the Source), Just consciousness. Am not prana, nor the five vital airs, nor the seven materials, nor the seven sheaths of the body. Am not the organ of speech, nor hand, nor leg nor the organs of procreation or elimination. Just eternal bliss, Just Shiva (the Beloved, the Source), Just consciousness. Have no envy, anger, nor craving nor attraction. Have no arrogance, nor pride, nor religion, nor lust, nor desire for wealth or liberation. Just eternal bliss, Just Shiva (the Beloved, the Source), Just consciousness. Have neither virtue, nor vice, neither pleasure nor sorrow. Do not need mantra, nor pilgrimages, scriptures, rituals or sacrifices. Am neither food, nor the one who consumes, or what is consumed. Just eternal bliss, Just Shiva (the Beloved, the Source), Just consciousness. Have no fear of death, (or life) nor doubt, nor discrimination of cast. Have no father nor mother or birth, or death, for nothing is born or dies. Have no brother, nor friend, nor guru, nor being an aspirant. Just eternal bliss, Just Shiva (the Beloved, the Source), Just consciousness. Beyond form and beyond all dualities. Present, all pervading, within all the senses. Being oneness in all things, neither liberated nor in bondage. Just eternal bliss, Just Shiva (the Beloved, the Source), Just consciousness.
