ಗುರುದೇವ ಗುರುದೇವ ಗುರು ನಿಮಿಷಾನಂದ,
Gurudeva Gurudeva Guru Nimishananda

ಏನು ಹಾಡಲಿ ಮಹಿಮೆ ಎಲ್ಲ ನಿನ್ನಿಂದ.
How shall I sing your praises- everything IS, only because of you

The Universe came into being because you willed it

ಸೃಷ್ಟಿ ಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಲಯ ಗಳು ಎಲ್ಲ ನಿನ್ನಿಂದ.
The cycle of Creation, Preservation and Destruction goes on because of you

ಆ ಸೂರ್ಯನ ಶಾಖ ಚಂದಿರನ ತಂಪು
The heat in the Sun, the coolness of the moon

ಆಗಸದಾ ಆ ನೀಲಿ ತಾರೆಗಳ ಮಿನುಗು
The blue of the sky and the twinkle in the stars

ನಿನ್ನಿಂದಲೇ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ನಿನ್ನಿಂದಲೇ
are all because of you alone, Gurudeva, only because of you

ನಿನ್ನಿಂದಲೇ ಹೊರಟಿತಾ ಪ್ರನವನಾಧ
The primordial 'OM" emanated from you alone

ಎಲೆ ಕಂಧನಾ ನಗುವು ಹೂವಿನಾ ಕಂಪು
The laughter of a child, the fragrance of the flower

ಹಾರೋ ಹಕ್ಕಿಯ ರೆಕ್ಕೆ ಸ್ವರಗಳಾ ಇಂಪು
the flight of a bird, the melody in the seven notes

ನಿನ್ನಿಂದಲೇ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ನಿನ್ನಿಂದಲೇ
are all because of you alone, Gurudeva, only because of you

ಪ್ರಕ್ರೈತಿಯಾ ಈ ಸೊಬಗು ನಿನ್ನ ಪ್ರತಿಬಿಂಬ
this wonder and beauty of nature is but your reflection
