Manifesting supreme peace as well as terrifying, wrathful activity, He is beyond both extremes To that Rudra, who is everything and within everything, I bow
Tat purukhaaya videmahe Mahaadevaaya dhiimahi Tanno Rudraha prachodayaataha
Meditate on that Supreme Being, Brahman The great God (Mahadev) Shiva May He liberate me
Dhyana mulam guru murti Puja mulam gurur padam Mantra mulam gurur vaakyam Moksha mulam guru kripaa
The true object of meditation is the Guru’s form True worship is of the Guru’s feet The essence of all mantra is the words of the Guru Liberation is the Guru’s grace
Om Namaha Shivaaya Gurave Satchidaananda Murtaye Nishprapanchaaya Shaantaya Niraalambaya Tejase
I bow to the Auspicious one Shiva, the Guru Whose form is reality, pure awareness and bliss Peace beyond all illusion Self-existent and radiant
