Om Namah Shivaya Gurave

Another chant I learned a few years ago that I still carry in my heart (and on my lips) is “Om Namah Shivaya Gurave,” the Anusara Invocation, though I’m not an ‘Anusara Yogi.’ To me it’s beautiful, and I love the meaning. Find the chant, translation and my version below.

Om Namah Shivaya Gurave
Saccidananda Murtaye
Nisprapancaya Shantaya
Niralambaya Tejase
Om

I open my heart to the power of Grace
That lives in us as goodness
That never is absent and radiates peace
And lights the way to transformation
