OPENING PRAYER
 

vande gurūṇāṁ caraṇāravinde

sandarśita svātma sukhāva bodhe |

niḥśreyase jāṅgali kāyamāne

saṁsāra hālāhala moha śāntyai ||

 

ābāhu puruṣākāraṁ

śaṅkha cakrāsi dhāriṇaṁ |

sahasra śirasaṁ śvetaṁ

praṇamāmi patañjaliṃ ||


I prostrate at the Lotus feet of the Guru
and contemplate the awakened joy of my Soul
the ultimate refuge, the healer who
soothes the poison of repeated existences.

I bow down to Patanjali
who took the form of a luminous man
with a thousand serpent's heads, and who holds
a conch, a disc and a sword.

 

CLOSING PRAYER


svastiprajābhyaḥ paripālayantāṁ

nyāyena mārgeṇa mahīṁ mahīṣāḥ |

gobrāhmaṇebhyaḥ śubhamastu nityaṁ

lokāsamastāḥ sukhino bhavantu ||

 

Om may Prosperity be glorified
that the Leaders govern the world with justice and equity
May Providence and Knowledge be protected
May the peoples of the whole world be happy and prosperous.

Om peace peace peace.
