Anusara Invocation

Each of our classes begins with the chanting of the Anusara Invocation. If you are a new student at Shine or new to Anusara yoga, feel free to print this page and use it as a cheat sheet to take with you to class or for practice at home.

Sanskrit:

Namah Shivaya Gurave

Saccidananda Murtaye

Nisprapancaya Shantaya

Niralambaya Tejase

Translation:

I offer myself to the Light, who is the True Teacher

within and without (the teacher of all teachers),

Who assumes the forms of

Reality, Consciousness and Bliss,

Who is never absent and is full of peace,

Independent in its existence,

It is the vital essence of illumination.
