lyrics

Lyrics:

aham devo na cānyo'smi
brahmhaivā'ham na śokabhāk
saccidānandarūpo'ham nitya-mukta-svabhāvavān

Śivo’ham


I am the Divine. I am nothing else.
I am not a receptacle for fear, for I am the Highest alone.
I am made of Being, Consciousness, and Bliss. My truest home is my highest Self, Who is forever free

I am Shiva (I am Pure Consciousness)
