The chant
मनो बुद्धि अहङ्कार चित्तानि नाहं
न च श्रोत्रजिह्वे न च घ्राण नेत्रे
न च व्योम भूमिर्न तेजो न वायुः
चिदानन्द रूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम्
न च प्राण सङ्ग्यो न वै पञ्च वायुः
न व सप्त धातुर्न व पञ्च कोशः
न वाक् पणि-पादम्न चोपस्थ पायु
चिदानन्द रूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम्
न मे द्वेष रागौ न मे लोभ मोहौ
मदो नैव मे नैव मत्सर्य भावः
न धर्मो न चार्थो न कामो न मोक्षः
चिदानन्द रूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम्
न पुण्यम्न पापम्न सौख्यम्न दुःखम्
न मन्त्रो न तीर्थ न वेद न यज्ञः
अहं भोजनैवम्न भोज्यम्न भोक्ता
चिदानन्द रूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम्
न मृत्युर्न शङ्का न मे जाति भेदः
पिता नैव मे नैव माता न जन्म
न बन्धुर्न मित्रम्गुरुर्नैव शिष्यः
चिदानन्द रूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम्
अहं निर्विकल्पो निराकार रूपो
विभुर्व्याप सर्वत्र सर्वेन्द्रियाणाम्
न च सङ्गतम्नैव मुक्तिर्न बन्ध
चिदानन्द रूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम्
Mano buddhi ahankara chittani naaham
Na cha shrotajihve na cha ghraana netre
Na cha vyoma bhumir na tejo na vaayuhu
Chidananda rupah Shivo’ham Shivo’ham
I am not space, not earth, not fire, water or wind
Na cha prana sangyo na vai pancha vayuhu
Na va sapta dhatur na va pancha koshah
Na vak pani-padam na chopastha payu
Chidandanda rupah Shivo’ham Shivo’ham
Na me dvesha ragau na me lobha mohau
Mado naiva me naiva matsarya bhavaha
Na dharmo na chartho na kamo na mokshaha
Chidananda rupah Shivo’ham Shivo’ham
I know not pride or jealousy
Na punyam na papam na saukhyam na duhkham
Na mantro na teertha na veda na yajnah
Aham bhojanaivam na bhojyam na bhokta
Chidananda rupah Shivo’ham Shivo’ham
No virtue or vice, no pleasure or pain
I need no mantras, no pilgrimage, no scriptures or rituals
Na mrityur na shanka na mejati bhedaha
Pita naiva me naiva mataa na janmaha
Na bandhur na mitram gurur naiva shishyaha
Chidananda rupah Shivo’ham Shivo’ham
I am not a relative, nor a friend, nor a teacher nor a student
Aham nirvikalpo nirakara rupo
Vibhur vyaapa sarvatra sarvendriyanam
Na cha sangatham naiva muktir na bandha
Chidananda rupah Shivo’ham Shivo’ham
I am neither attached, neither free nor captive
I am not the mind, the intellect, the ego or the memory
I am not the ears, the skin, the nose or the eyes
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am the eternal Shiva
I am not the breath, nor the five elements
I am not matter, nor the five sheaths of consciousness
Nor am I the speech, the hands, or the feet
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am the eternal Shiva
There is no like or dislike in me, no greed or delusion
I have no duty, no desire for wealth, lust or liberation
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am the eternal Shiva
I am not the experienced, nor the experience itself
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am the eternal Shiva
I have no death, nor the fear of death, no caste or creed
I have no father, no mother, for I was never born
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am the eternal Shiva
I am devoid of duality, my form is formlessness
I exist everywhere, pervading all senses
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am the eternal Shiva
Why it works
- Dissolves ego-identification and false self-concept through systematic negation of limited identities
- Reduces anxiety and existential fear by anchoring awareness in eternal consciousness beyond death and change
- Liberates from attachment and emotional reactivity (raga-dvesha) by revealing the witness consciousness
- Cultivates equanimity and detachment from dual emotions—pleasure/pain, praise/blame, gain/loss
- Accelerates spiritual maturity by shifting identity from body-mind to infinite consciousness
