Nilakantha chants in a saturday evening satsang the kirtan Sachara Chara Pari Purna Shivoham. A lovely vedantic hymn that explains our true nature: Absolute Existence, Absolute Bliss, Absolute Knowledge, Pure Consciousness, the stainless and guiltfree observer of All. I am one with the divine.
You can find it in the Yoga Vidya Kirtan Songbook as No. To sing along is here the text:

Sacharā Chara Pari Pūrna Shivoham
Nityānanda Swarūpa Shivoham
Ānandoham Ānandoham
Ānandam Brahm Ānandam
Sākshi Chaitanya Kutasthoham
Nityā Nitya Swarūpa Shivoham

This mantra „Sachara Chara Pari Purna Shivoham Nityananda Swarupa Shivoham“ means: „I am purna, wealth, accomplishment with, from the transcendent“ Shivoham: I am Shiva. „Shiva“ means literally „the auspicious one“. „Shiva“ means, too, loving and kind. Deep inside I am – and everyone else – this auspicious, this Loving, the good and the transcendental. I am Nitya, the eternal.
