In which there’s a chant.

aum, aum

my salutations to that guru who revealed to me that truth
which is unfragmented, infinite, timeless divinity
and which pervades the entire universe, moveable or immovable

my salutations to that reverential teacher who, by applying
the divine collyrium of self-knowledge into my eyes
removed the cataract of ignorance

guru is the creator, sustainer and destroyer, she is verily
the very transcendental divinity
(the timeless life-principle, the very essence of the creator, etc.)
my reverential salutations to that glorious teacher

my salutations to that reverential teacher who revealed to me
that which pervades everything in this world, whether
animate-inanimate or movable-immovable

my salutations to that glorious guru who revealed to me
that self-effulgent divinity (pure, unconditioned consciousness) which pervades
all the three worlds, with all its movable and immovable objects

my salutations to that reverential teacher who is like a sun
for the blossoming up of the lotus-like mantras of the upanishads,
and at whose lotus feet lie the beautiful flowers
symbolizing the best jewels of the vedas

my salutations to that reverential teacher who is verily eternal consciousness,
which is the nature of peace. she transcends space and time, the concept of zero,
the primordial sound, and all the parts

my salutations to that glorious gurudev, who is established in knowledge and power,
who is adorned with the garland of knowledge and who grants
both worldly prosperity and spiritual liberation

my salutations to that reverential teacher who, by imparting self-knowledge,
has burnt away the very bondage of actions in a whiff,
which had taken infinite lives to accumulate

even by sipping the charanamruta [the water with which the feet of the guru is washed]
we are blessed by eternal wealth of liberating knowledge, which dries up
the endless ocean of seeking and subsequent sorrows
my salutations to the lotus feet of that glorious gurudev

there is no higher truth than the guru, no higher penance than service to the guru
nothing higher than the realization of the knowledge of truth imparted by the guru,
my salutations to such a gurudev, who is herself that very timeless truth
(and who has taken up a form to bless her disciples with real knowledge)

my lord is the lord of the universe; my teacher is the teacher of the entire universe;
and my self is the self of all. my salutations at the lotus feet of such a guru
who has revealed such knowledge to me

the guru is the beginning of the universe, yet she herself is without beginning;
the guru is the highest deity and there is none higher
than the guru. my reverential salutations at the lotus feet
of such a gurudev

o god! you alone are my mother, father, my brother, and my friend! you alone
are the knowledge, my real wealth. you are everything to me, my all in all
