O my mind chant the holy name of Ista.
O my mind chant the holy name of Ista.
Chant the holy name of Ista.

All the facets of creation
Preservation and destruction reside in Him. O my mind
Chant the holy name of Ista.

Only the supreme one who bestowed on us this immortal name
Knows the secret origin of this ever new universe.
On this dusty earth
Constantly listen to His song.
Chant the holy name of Ista.

He remains in the world of immortality,
He breaks all attachments of this non-lasting universe
And teaches the ego to surrender.
He is the supreme receptacle of all receptacles.
He is the most charming and ultimate refuge of my mind.
Chant the holy name of Ista.
