Is a bit hard for someone to find from all the verses from each holy ancient scripts (also from tantras) of the verses that the Satyananda tradition is using and hardest to find out the translations of these verses. For example different part of the verses is using for Guru Stotram, different and sometime mix from tantra for other hymns like hereunder. A selection from Guru Gita as given in Uttarakhand section of Skanda Purana in the form of a dialogue between Shiva and Uma (Shakti).

A real Guru has the following qualities. He experiences the supreme Bliss of Brahmaananda (transcedental divine bliss). He enjoys and confers changeless supreme happiness. He is beyond space and time (there is nothing higher than him). He is the embodiment of wisdom which is the basis for all types of knowledge. He transcends the pair of opposites (such as happiness and sorrow, gain and loss). He is more Omnipresent than space itself. He is the very embodiment of the Divine principle, which is the inner meaning of the four great pronouncements Prajnaanam Brahma, Aham Brahmasmi, Thath Thvam Asi and Ayam Aathma Brahma. He is One without a second (ekam). He never changes under any circumstances (nithyam). He is without any type of impurity (vimalam). He is steady and motionless(achalam). He is the witness of everything. He transcends mental comprehension and verbal explanation. He is beyond the three gunas (sathva, rajas and thamas). I offer my humble salutations to such a Guru who possesses all these qualities. Nityam Shuddham Nirakaram Nirabhasam Niranjanam NityaBodham Chidanandam Gurubrahma Namamyaham (This is Shloka of Tantra) NItyam means unchangeable, that’s which is permanent, which does not undergo any change. Shuddham means an object as it should be, in a condition or form as it should be, and remaining in that form or condition. Nirakaram means an object is created by the effect of the three Gunas, Sentient, Mutative and Static. Nirabhasam means that which does not undergo any reflection or refraction. Niranjanam means that entity which is spotless, or which has not black spots is Niranjana. NityaBodham means, Bodham means experience supported by the intellect. Bodha the entity who knows fully about each and every object, each and every mind, each and every soul, about everything in this creation, is NityaBodham. Nothing can be done anything secretly. Everything will be known to him. Chidanandam means who is always in bliss. He need not go anywhere in search of happiness from some other source. His very existence in Bliss Personified. Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu Guru Devo Maheshwara Guru Deva Param Brahma Tasmai Shri Gurave Namah (Prayer invokes the Guru as Brahma, as Vishnu and as Shiva. The holy trinity of Gods say that the Guru’s being is limitless. He is not just the creator (Brahma), the preserver (Vishnu), the ruler of beings (Maheshwara) or an absolute God (Sakshat Parabrahma); he is all creation himself.) The word guru is derived from two words, “gu” and “ru”. The Sanskrit root “gu” means darkness or ignorance. “Ru” denotes the remover of darkness. Therefore, one who removes darkness is a guru. Guru is the journey from darkness to light, from ignorance to self-illumination. Wahe Guru, a term mostly used in Sikhism, refers to God or the supreme being, the creator of all. It signifies the most wonderful and precious teacher of life. youtu.be/ONxFav3QzS4
