Gurur Brahmaa Gurur Vishnu

Gurur Devo Maheshvaraha |

Guruh Saakshaat Parabrahmaa

Tasmai Shri Gurave Namaha ||

Meaning:

I prostrate to that Sri Guru, who is himself Brahma, Vishnu, and Lord Maheshvara, and who is verily the Supreme Absolute itself.

ब्रह्मानन्दं परमसुखदं केवलं ज्ञानमूर्तिम्

द्वन्द्वातीतं गगनसदृशं तत्वमस्यादिलक्ष्यम् ।

एकं नित्यं विमलमचलं सर्वधीसाक्षीभूतम्

भावातीतं त्रिगुणरहितं सदगुरुं तम् नमामि ।।

Brahmaanandam Paramasukhadam Kevalam Gnyaanamurtim

Dvandvatitam Gaganasadrisham Tattvamasyaadilakshyam |

Ekam Nityam Vimalamacalam Sarvadhisaakshi Bhutam

Bhaavaatitam Trigunarahitam Sadgurum Tam Namaami ||

Meaning:

I bow to the Sadguru, who is the bliss of Brahman and the bestower of the highest joy.  He is absolute.  He is knowledge personified.  He is beyond duality, (all pervasive) like the sky, and the object of (the great Upanishadic statement) “Thou art That”.  He is one.  He is eternal.  He is pure.  He is steady.  He is the witness of all thoughts.  He is beyond all modifications (of mind and body) and free from the three gunas (sata, raja, tama).
