nirgunam svaatma-sansthitam.
I always bow to the Guru who is Sacchidananda; who transcends all differences; who is eternal, perfect,
without form, and without attributes; and who is established in his own Self.
64.
Paarat-para-taram dhyeyam
nitya-maananda-kaarakam,
Hrudayaa-kaasha-madhya-stham
shuddha-sphatika-sannibham.
The Guru, who is higher than the highest, who always bestows bliss, and who is seated in the center of the
space of the heart, [shining] like a pure crystal, should be meditated upon.
65.
Sphatika-pratimaa-roopam
drushyate darpane yathaa,
Tathaa-tmani chidaa-kaaram
aanandam so-ha-mityuta.
Just as the image of a crystal is seen in a mirror, so the bliss, which is Consciousness, [is reflected] in the
Self and [the realization comes]. "Indeed, I am That."
66.
Angushtha-maatra-purusham
dhyaaya-tash-chinmayam hrudi,
Tatra sphurati bhaavo yah
shrunu tam kathayaa-myaham.
Listen, I shall speak to you of the feeling that arises when one meditates on the thumb-sized Person in the
heart, who is Consciousness.
67.
Agocharam tathaa-gamyam
naama-roopa-vivarjitam,
Nih-shabdam tad-vijaa-neeyaat
svabhaavam brahma paarvati.
0 Parvati, know that the nature of Brahman is beyond perception, beyond understanding, without name and
form, and without sound [and other attributes perceptible by the senses].

20
68.
Yathaa gandhah sva-bhaavena
karpoora-kusu-maadishu,
Sheeto-shnaadi sva-bhaavena
tathaa brahma cha shaashvatam.
As fragrance is natural in flowers, camphor, and other things, and as cold and heat are natural [in water
and fire], so is Brahman eternal.
69.
Svayam tathaa-vidho bhootvaa
sthaatavyam yatra-kutra-chit,
Keeta-bhramara-vat-tatra
dhyaanam bhavati taadrusham.
After becoming [aware that one is] like That, (Brahman), one may live anywhere. [Then] wherever one is,
one's meditation [on the Guru] becomes like that of the worm on the wasp.
70.
Guru-dhyaanam tathaa krutvaa
svayam brahma-mayo bhavet,
Pinde pade tathaa roope
mukto-sau naatra samshayah.
By meditating on the Guru, one himself becomes Brahman. There is no doubt that one is liberated in pinda,
pada, and nipa.
Shree paarvati uvaacha:
71.
Pindam kim tu mahaa-deva
padam kim samudaa-hrutam,
Roopaa-teetam cha roopam kim
eta-daa-khyaahi shankara.
Sri Parvati said: Oh Great God, what is pinda? What is known as pada? What are rupa and tupatita? Oh
Shankara, explain this to me.
Shree mahaadeva uvaacha:
72.
Pindam kundalinee-shaktih
padam hamsa-mudaa-hrutam,
Roopam bindu-riti-jneyam
roopaa-teetam niranjanam.

21
Sri Mahadeva said: Pinda is Kundalini Shakti. Hamsa (spontaneous repetition of ham-sa) is pada. Know
rupa to be the bindu (blue point), and rupatita is the pure One [beyond the three].
73.
Pinde muktaa pade muktaa
roope mukta varaanane,
Roopaa-teete tu ye muktaas
te muktaa naatra samshayah.
Oh Beautiful One, they are liberated in pinda [whose Kundalini is awake]. They are liberated in pada [who
hear spontaneous repetition of Ham-sa]. They are liberated in rupa [who have envisioned the blue pearl].
But they are undoubtedly liberated who are liberated in rupatita [who experience the transcendental state
beyond form].
74.
Svayam sarva-mayo bhootvaa
param tattvam vilokayet,
Paraat-para-taram naanyat
sarvam-etan-niralayam.
Becoming one with everything, a person should perceive the highest truth. There is nothing higher than the
highest. All this is without [any particular] abode [because it is all-pervasive].
75.
Labdham vaa-tha na labdham vaa
svalpam vaa bahulam tathaa,
Nishkaa-menaiva bhoktavyam
sadaa santushta-chetasaa.
Whether you attain it or you do not attain it, whether it is great or small, it should always be enjoyed without
desire and with a contented mind.
76.
Sarvajna-pada-mityahur-
dehee sarva-mayo budhaah,
Sadaa-nandah sadda shanto
ramate yatra-kutra-chit.
The wise say the all-knowing state is that in which the embodied soul becomes one with everything. (Then],
ever-blissful and ever-tranquil, he rejoices wherever he may be.
77.
Yatraiva tish-thate so-pi
sa deshah punya-bhaajanam,
Muktasya lakshanam devi
tavaagre kathitam mayaa.

22
Wherever He lives, that place becomes an abode of merit. Oh Goddess, I have described to you the charac-
teristics of a liberated one.
78.
Anena-yad-bhavet-kaaryam
tad-vadaami mahaamate,
Loko-pakaarakam devi
laukikam tu na bhaavayet.
Oh One of great intelligence, I shall now tell you the things that are accomplished by this (recitation of the
Guru Gita). Oh Goddess, [the powers accruing from this] should not be used for selfish gains, but for the
welfare of people.
79.
Laukikaat-karmano yaanti
jnaana-heenaa bhavaar-navam,
Jnaanee tu bhaavayet-sarvam
karma nish-karma yat-krutam.
The ignorant ones who work for selfish ends sink into the ocean of worldly existence, whereas a knower of
Truth considers all the actions he does to be non-action.
80.
Idam tu bhakti-bhaavena
pathate shrunute yadi,
Likhitvaa tat-pradaa-tavyam
tat-sarvam saphalam bhavet.
If one reads and hears this [Guru Gita] with devotion, he should make a copy to give to others-this will all
bear fruit.
81.
Guru-Gita-tmakam devi
shuddha-tattvam mayoditam,
Bhava-vyaadhi-vinaa-shaartham
svayameva japet-sadaa.
Oh Goddess, I have told you the pure truth in the form of the Guru Gita. One should always repeat it oneself
to overcome the disease of worldly existence.
82.
Guru-gita-ksharaikam tu
mantra-raaja-mimam japet,
Anye cha vividhaa mantraah,
kalaam naarhanti shodasheem.

23
Even one letter of the Guru Gita is a supreme mantra. One should repeat it. All other mantras of diverse
kinds are not worth even one-sixteenth part of it.
83.
Ananta-phala-maapnoti
guru-gita-japena tu,
Sarva-paapa-prasha-manam
sarva-daaridrya-naashanam.
Surely, by repeating the Guru Gita one obtains endless rewards. It destroys alI sins, and ends all privations.
84.
Kaala-mrutyu-bhaya-haram
sarva-sankata-naashanam,
Yaksha-raakshasa-bhootaanaam
chora-vyaaghra-bhayaa-paham.
It delivers one from the fear of time and death. It puts an end to all misfortunes. It removes the fear of spirits,
demons, ghosts, thieves, and tigers.
85.
Mahaa-vyaadhi-haram sarvam
vibhooti-siddhidam bhavet,
Athavaa mohanam vashyam
svayameva japet-sadaa.
It eradicates all major diseases. It confers prosperity and superhuman powers or the ability to captivate and
control others. One should always repeat it to oneself.
86.
Mohanam sarva-bhootaanaam
bandha-moksha-karam bhavet,
Deva-raaja-priyakaram
sarva-loka-vasham bhavet
It, (the repetition of the Guru Gita), attracts all beings and brings release from bondage. It gains the affec-
tion of Indra (the lord of heaven) and brings control over all the worlds.
87.
Asiddham saadhayet-kaaryam
navagraha-bhayaa-paham,
Duh-svapna-naashanam chaiva
susvapna-phala-daayakam.
It accomplishes unfinished tasks, delivers one from the fear of [harm from the] nine planets, puts an end to
bad dreams, and makes good dreams come true.

24
88.
Sarva-baadhaa-prasha-manam
dharmaartha-kaama-moksha-dam,
Yam yam chin-tayate kaamam
tam tam praapnoti nish-chitam.
It removes all hurdles and grants [the four goals of life]: righteousness, wealth, pleasure, and liberation.
One definitely obtains whatever desire he may entertain.
89.
Kaamitasya kaama-dhenuh
kalpanaa-kalpa-paadapah,
Chintaa-manish-chinti-tasya
sarva-mangala-kaarakam.
[The Guru Gita] is the wish-fulfilling cow for one who has desires. It is the wish-fulfilling tree that makes
fantasies come true. It is the wish-fulfilling gem for one's thoughts. It brings good luck in every way.
90.
Moksha-hetur-japen-nityam
moksha-shriya-mavaap-nuyaat,
Bhoga-kaamo japedyo vai
tasya kaama-phala-pradam.
One whose goal is liberation should repeat it regularly. He attains the splendor of liberation. One who
repeats it with the desire for enjoyment will, indeed, get the fruit of his wish.
91.
Atha kaamya-jape sthaanam
katha-yaami varaanane,
Saagare vaa saritteere
thavaa hariharaalaye.
Oh Beautiful One, now I shall describe the places to repeat it for the fulfillment of desires: on the seashore,
on a river bank, or in a temple of Vishnu or Shiva;
92.
Shakti-devaalaye goshthe
sarva-devaalaye shubhe,
Vate cha dhaatree-moole vaa
mathe vrindaavane tathaa.
In a shrine of Shakti, in a cowshed, in all holy temples of Gods, in an ashram, under a banyan tree or a
dhatri tree, or in a thicket of tulsi plants.

25
93.
Pavitre nirmale sthaane
nityaa-nushthaa-natopi-vaa,
Nirve-danena maunena
japa-metam samaa-charet
One should repeat it in silence and with detachment in a clean and pure place, whether one recites it daily or
for a certain number of times.
94.
Samsaara-mala-naa shaartham
bhava-paasha-nivrut-taye,
Guru-gitam-bhasi snaanam
tattva-jnah kurute sadaa.
One who knows the Truth always bathes in the waters of the Guru Gita to wash away his worldly impurities
and to become free from the snares of worldly existence.
95.
Sa eva cha guruh saakshaat
sadaa sad-brahma-vittamah,
Tasya sthaanaani sarvaani
pavitraani na samshayah.
He, (the devoted disciple), himself becomes the Guru. [Then] he is always the foremost among the knowers
of Brahman. There is no doubt that for him all places are holy.
96.
Sarva shuddhah pavitro-sau
sva-bhaavaad-yatra tishthati,
Tatra deva-ganaah sarve
kshe-tre peethe vasanti hi.
He is holy and pure in all respects. Whatever region or dwelling he happens to live in becomes inhabited by
the multitude of Gods.
97.
Samudre cha yathaa toyam
ksheere ksheeram ghrute ghrutam,
Bhinne kumbhe yathaa-kaashas-
tathaa-tmaa para-maatmani.
Just as water [merges] in the ocean, milk in milk, ghee in ghee, the space [inside the pot in the space out-
side] when a pot is broken, so the individual soul [merges] in the universal soul.

26
98.
Tathaiva jnaanee jeevaatmaa
para-maatmani leeyate,
Aikyena ramate jnaanee
yatra tatra divaa-nisham.
In the very same way, the realized soul is merged in the highest Self. Day and night, wherever he may be, the
realized being delights in his identity [with the supreme Being].
99.
Evam vidho mahaa-muktah
sarvada vartate budhah,
Tasya sarva-prayatnena
bhava bhaktim karoti yah.
100.
Sarva-sandeha rahito
mukto bhavati paarvati,
Bhukti-mukti-dvayam tasya
jihvaagre cha sarasvatee.
A wise person, fully liberated, always lives in this manner. 0 Parvati, one who serves Him wholeheartedly
and with deep devotion is relieved of all doubts and is liberated. Both worldly enjoyments and liberation
come to him. Saraswati (the goddess of speech and learning) [dwells] on the tip of his tongue.
101.
Anena praaninah sarve
guru-gita-japena tu,
Sarva-siddhim praapnu-vanti
bhuktim muktim na samshayah.
There is no doubt that by repetition of the Guru Gita all beings do, indeed, obtain all powers, pleasures, and
liberation.
102.
Satyam satyam punah satyam
dharmyam saankhyam mayoditam,
Guru-gita-samam naasti
satyam satyam varaanane.
It is the truth. It is the truth. It is always the truth that the knowledge revealed by me is worthy of being fol-
lowed. There is nothing like the Guru Gita. Oh Beautiful One, this is the truth. This is the truth.
103.
Maataa dhanyaa pitaa dhanyo
dhanyo vamshah kulam tathaa,
Dhanyaa cha vasudhaa devi
guru-bhaktih sudur-labhaa.

27
Blessed is the mother [of a devoted disciple], blessed is the father, blessed is the family and ancestry. Blessed
is the earth [on which he walks]. Oh Goddess, [such] devotion to the Guru is very rare.
104.
Japena jaya-maapnoti
chaananta-phala-maapnuyaat,
Heena-karma tyajan-sarvam
sthaanaani chaadha-maani cha.
By abandoning all mean actions and degraded places and reciting [the Guru Gita], one obtains success and
endless rewards.
105.
Japam heenaa-sanam kurvan
heena-karma-phala-pradam,
Guru-gitaam prayaane vaa
sangraame ripu-sankate.
106.
Japan-jaya-mavaapnoti
marane mukti-daayakam,
Sarva-karma cha sarvatra
guru-putrasya sidyati.
Repetition [of the Guru Gita] on an improper asana bears [the same] fruit as mean actions. While on a jour-
ney, on a battlefield, or in the face of a dangerous enemy, one obtains success by repeating the Guru Gita. At
the time of death it brings liberation. All the actions of the Guru's son, (a devoted disciple), are accom-
plished everywhere.
107.
Ateeva-pakva-chittaaya
shraddhaa-bhakti-yutaaya cha,
Pravaktavya-midam devi
mamaa-tmaa-si sadaa priye.
Oh Goddess, explain it only to one whose mind is fully matured and who is endowed with faith and devotion.
Oh Beloved, you are my very Self forever.

28
108.
Samsaara-saagara-samu-ddhara-naika-mantram
brahmaa-dideva-muni-poojita-siddha-mantram,
Daari-drya-duhkhaa-bhava-roga-vinaasha-mantram
vande mahaabhaya-haram guru-raaja-mantram.
I bow to the Gunuraj mantra, (the Guru Gita), which removes the great fear [of transmigration]. It is the
only mantra that rescues one from the ocean of the world. It is the perfected mantra worshipped by sages
and Gods, such as Brahma and others. It is the mantra that puts an end to privations, miseries, and the dis-
ease of mundane existence.
Iti shree-skanda-puraane
Uttara-khande eeshvara-paarvatee-samvaade
Guru-gita samaaptaa
Shree gurudeva chara-naar-pana-mastu.
Thus ends the Guru Gita, which occurs in the dialogue between Shiva and Parvati in the latter portion of Sri
Skanda Purana.
This is offered at the feet of Sri Gurudev
