gurvaṣṭakam Lyrics in English:
vande’ham saccidanandam bhedatītam jagadgurum ।
nityam pūrnam nirakaram nirgunam sarvasamsthitam ॥ 1॥
paratparataram dhyeyam nityamananda-karanam ।
hrdayakasa-madhyastham suddha-sphatika-sannibham ॥ 2॥
akhanda-mandalakaram vyaptam yena cara’caram ।
tatpadam darsitam yena tasmai srīgurave namah ॥ 3॥
gururbrahma gururvisnurgururdevo mahesvarah ।
gurureva param brahma tasmai srīgurave namah ॥ 4॥
ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana-salakaya ।
caksurunmīlitam yena tasmai srīgurave namah ॥ 5॥
caitanyam sasvatam santam vyomatītam niranjanam ।
vindu-nada-kalatītam tasmai srīgurave namah ॥ 6॥
aneka-janma -samprapta -karmabandha -vidahine ।
ajnajnana-pradanena tasmai srīgurave namah ॥ 7॥
sisyanam moksadanaya līlaya dehadharine ।
sadehe’pi videhaya tasmai srīgurave namah ॥ 8॥
gurvastakamidam stotram sayam-pratastu yah pathet ।
sa vimukto bhavellokat sadguro krpaya dhruvam ॥ 9॥
iti gurvastakam sampūrnam ।
