In this material world,
neither father, nor mother,
neither relatives nor helpers,
neither son nor daughter,
neither husband nor wife,
neither scriptural wisdom nor
professional knowledge - are mine.
Therefore, O Mother of the universe!
O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva!
You alone are my eternal Refuge !!

Having been fallen into the limitless ocean of birth and
death, ever tied myself by greed, pride, delusion and desire,
I am very fearful of this sorrowful existence.
Therefore, O Mother of the universe!
O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva!
You alone are my eternal Refuge !!

O Mother, I have made no charity;
I have done no meditation;
I have observed no rituals;
nor have I uttered any prayer or holy Name.
I have performed no worship;
nor have I purified myself through proper invocations.
Therefore, O Thou Mother of the universe,
Thou art my only Refuge; Thou art my only Shelter.

I do not know either the righteous deeds nor Your sacred abode nor
how to achieve freedom from material bondage by dissolving my ego.
I am unable to achieve Divine Love, not even inclined to follow
any spiritual descipline to attain it.
Therefore, O Mother of the universe!
O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva!
You alone are my eternal refuge !!

I am continuously engaged in worthless thoughts
and improper actions. My dull Intellect has been
enslaved by bad habits.
I am always unable to conduct myself admirably
and my character is utterly shameful to the society
along with my critical views and unruly speech.
Therefore, O Mother of the universe!
O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva!
You alone are my eternal refuge !!

I do not know Lords Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra,

So I have taken my full surrender forever in You.
Therefore, O Mother of the universe!
O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva!
You alone are my eternal Refuge !!

O compassionate Mother, kindly protect me
wherever I am, from all kinds of injuries either
on water or fire, or on mountains or in jungles, or
in disputes with enemies, or in distress of abandonment.
O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva!
You alone are my eternal Refuge !!

O caring Mother,
I am a true orphan on this earth, without any virtue,
rendered powerless, smitten by pains of disease and aging,
deluded by ignorance and laziness, fallen and forlorn,
continuously entering into calamities.
Therefore, O Mother of the universe!
O Divine Consort of Lord Shiva!
You alone are my eternal Refuge !!

ATMASTAKAM ..By Adi Shankaracharya
Mano buddhya-hankara chittani naham
Na cha shrotra jihve, na cha ghrana netre
Na cha vyoma bhumirna tejo na vayuhu
Chidananda rupah shivoham shivoham . (1)
I am not the mind, intellect, thought, ego, or some form of the supreme being; I neither have ears, nor tongue and I neither have nose (nostrils) nor eyes; I am not the sky, earth, light or the wind; I am the fortunate, joyful, supreme being who is the very emblem of truth, knowledge and eternal bliss.
I myself am the spiritual joy of pure consciousness - Shiva; Shivoham, Shivoham.
Na cha prana sangno na vai pancha vayuhu
Na va sapta dhatur na va pancha koshaha
Na vak pani padau na chopastha payoo
Chidananda rupah shivoham shivoham .(2).
I am not the most essential air that everyone breathes. Nor a part of essential five gases related to bodily functions (which are Prana, Aparna, Vyana, Udana and Samana). I am not the seven-fold material (Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Medas, Asthi,Majja and Shukra) that help in body's physical development, I am not part of five coverings that help to build up the personality (food, air, mind, knowledge or wisdom and pleasure). Nor am I the five organs of action (which are speech/mouth, hands, feet, reproductive and rectum), I am the fortunate, joyful, supreme being who is the very emblem of truth, knowledge and eternal bliss.
I myself am the spiritual joy of pure consciousness - Shiva; Shivoham, Shivoham.
Na me dvesha ragau na me lobha mohau
Mado naiva me naiva matsarya bhavah
Na dharmo na chartho na kamo na mokshah
Chidananda rupah shivoham shivoham .(3).
I have no likes or dislikes; Not I have any greed or delusion; I have no pride or arrogant vanity; Nor am I jealous of anyone or in competition with anyone ; I do not need the four main necessities of life (which are Dharma (Law of Life), Artha (Wealth), Kama (Desires) and Moksha (Liberation); I am the fortunate, joyful,supreme being who is the very emblem of truth, knowledge and eternal bliss.
I myself am the spiritual joy of pure consciousness - Shiva; 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 .(4).
I am not attached to any righteousness or sin; I have neither pleasure nor sorrow; I have no need for any Mantra; I have no need for pilgrimages ; I have no need for any sacred scriptures; nor do I perform any sacrifise or rituals; I am neither the meal nor the one who consumes or what is consumed;
I am the fortunate, joyful,supreme being who is the very emblem of truth, knowledge and eternal bliss. I myself am the spiritual joy of pure consciousness - Shiva; Shivoham, Shivoham.
Na me mrutyu shanka na me jati bhedah
Pita naiva me naiva mata na janma
Na bandhur na mitram gurur naiva shishyah
Chidananda rupah shivoham shivoham .(5).
I have no fear of death, nor do I have caste distinctions; I neither have a father nor mother because I was never born; I have neither kin/relatives nor friends; I have no gurus and nor am I a disciple; I am the fortunate, joyful, supreme being who is the very emblem of truth, knowledge and eternal bliss. I myself am the spiritual joy of pure consciousness - Shiva; Shivoham, Shivoham.
Aham nirvikalpo nirakara rupo
Vibhur vyapya sarvatra sarvendriyanam
Sada me samatvam na muktir na bandhah
Chidananda rupah shivoham shivoham .(6).
I am free of thoughts and beyond imagination since I have no form; I am all pervading and exist everywhere; I am the king of all sense-organs; I am always impartial to everything and everyone,; I am free from everything and I have no attachment to anything; I am the fortunate, joyful, supreme being who is the very emblem of truth, knowledge and eternal bliss.
I myself am the spiritual joy of pure consciousness - Shiva; Shivoham, Shivoham.
