Bhagavad means “worthy of worship”, Bhagavad means “the one to be worshipped”. And so Swami Sivananda is Bhagavan, someone to be worshipped.

“Oh Swami Sivananda, you are worthy of worship.” Swami Sivananda is Ananda, Ananda means “full of joy”. Swami Sivananda is present everywhere and so people say, “Oh Swami Sivananda, I worship you.

Here is the full text in simplified transcription:

Asato Ma Sad Gamaya

Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya

Mrityor Manritan Gamaya

“Asato Ma Sat Gamaya” is a mantra from the Upanishads, it is a mantra that comes from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, 1.3.28, it is a mantra that also belongs to the Shanti Mantras, i.e. to the peace mantras, and it is also a prayer where we ask to be able to experience the highest.

“Asato Ma Sat Gamaya” means: ”Lead me and lead us from Asat, from untruth, to Sat, to truth.” Ma means “me”. “Guide me, Ma, from unreality to reality.”

Gamaya can be translated as “lead me to”, but you can also say “let me go there” or “let us go there”, “let us go from the unreal to the real”. “Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya. May I go and may I be guided, may you guide me, from Tamas, from darkness, to Jyoti, to light.” “Mrityor Mamritam Gamaya. And may I also go forth and may I be guided, may you lead me from mrityo, from death, to amrita, to immortality, to the nectar of immortality.”
