Sat Guru Mantra

brahmānandaṁ paramasukhadaṁ kevalaṁ jñānamūrtiṁ
dvandvātītaṁ gaganasadṛśaṁ tattvamasyādilakṣyam |
ekaṁ nityaṁ vimalamacalaṁ sarvādi sākṣibhūtaṁ
bhāvātītaṁ triguṇarahitaṁ sadguruṁ tamnamāmi ||

Truth of this beautiful mantra is narrated below. It is not translation, because translation is not truth! Translation is merely an adjustment within the framework of one's pre-conceived ideas and pre-determined conclusions in accordance with one's past conditioning.

O the existential energy dispelling the darkness of separative embodied consciousness (sadgurum)! Salutations (tamnamāmi)! This energy of understanding is free and beyond the contents of the limited human consciousness in its three catagories: Sattwa-Rajo-Tamo: (triguṇarahitam). This transcends all mental attitudes and emotions (bhāvātītam). This energy is so completely awake always that there is no psychological registration in the technical experience-structure of the memory and thus there is only the movement of awareness of actuality, but not the manoeuvre of assumptions, ascriptions and abstractions of a petty mind (sarvādi sākṣibhūtam).

This is without any contamination from the divisive and contradictory embodied consciousness (vimalam). And therefore extremely still & tranquil (acalam). This existential energy of awareness is without a beginning as also without an end (nityam). This is the ‘alone-ness’ i.e. ‘all-one'ness’ without the isolation of loneliness which occurs due to the ego-centric activities (ekam).

This energy has been pointed out in four Mahavakyas (tattvamasyādilakṣyam). Four Mahavakyas are:

prajñānaṁ brahma: Awareness is Brahma.
ahaṁ brahmāsmi: Real ‘I’ is Awareness.
tatvamasi: Real ‘You’ is Awareness.
ayamātmā brahma: Essence of everything is Awareness.

This Energy-Intelligence (Chiti-Shakti) is the emptiness, wholeness, holiness (gaganasadṛśam). This is beyond all dualities, divisions, disintegrations, opposites, splits, bifurcations, separations, fragmentations, conflicts, contradictions inspite of the wonderful and mysterious diversities of Creation (dvandvātītam).

The personification of this energy in a human body without let or hindrance (kevalaṁ jñānamūrtim) indeed brings supreme happiness (paramasukhadam) and most profound divine ecstasy (brahmānandam).

(Note: Compassion of this personification gets perverted into the corruption of a personality or vulgar activities of a ‘Guru-Ego’ of the spiritual market).

Jaya ānando nandano nandaḥ satyadharmā trivikramaḥ
