Om Namah Shivaya Gurave Satchidananda Murtaye Nishprapanchaya Shantaya Niralambaya Tejase

This is a Sanskrit invocation that honors Shiva as the inner master, the embodiment of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss, and who brings peace and enlightenment.

Here is a more detailed translation and explanation:

Om Namah Shivaya Gurave:
"I bow to Shiva, the inner master." Om is the primordial sound, Namah means to bow or reverence, and Gurave refers to the master, in this case, Shiva as a spiritual guide.

Satchidananda Murtaye:
"Who takes the form of truth, consciousness, and bliss." Satchidananda is a compound term describing the Divine Nature: Sat (truth), Chit (consciousness), and Ananda (bliss). Murtaye means "he who takes form."

Nisprapanchaya Shantaya:
"He who is never absent and full of peace." Nisprapanchaya refers to the absence of duality or illusion, and Shantaya means peace, tranquility.

Niralambaya Tejase:
"Free from all support, it is the vital essence of enlightenment." Niralambaya means independent, needing no support, while Tejase refers to the light, the glow, the radiant energy of enlightenment.
