PRAYER

[Guest guest]

O Krishna, it is right that the world delightsand rejoices in your praise,that

all the saints and sages bow down to youand all evil flees before you to the

far corners of the universe.

How could they not worship you, O Lord?You are the eternal spirit,who existed

before Brahma the creatorand who will never cease to be,the Lord of the

gods,you are the abode of the universe.Changeless, you are what is and what is

not,and beyond the duality of existence and nonexistence.

You are the first among gods,the timeless spirit, the resting place of all

beings.You are the knower and the thing which is known.You are the final

home;within your infinite form you pervade the cosmos.

You are Vayu, god of wind;Yama, god of death;Agni, god of fire;Varuna, god of

water.You are the moon and the creator Prajapati,and the great-grandfather of

all creatures.I bow before you and salute you again and again.

You are behind me and in front of me;I bow to you on every side.Your power is

immeasurable.You pervade everything;you are everything.

You are the eternal spirit,

who existed before Brahma the creator

and who will never cease to be,

the Lord of the gods,

you are the abode of the universe.

Changeless, you are what is and what is not,

and beyond the duality of existence and nonexistence.

You are the first among gods,

the timeless spirit, the resting place of all beings.

You are the knower and the thing which is known.

You are the final home;

within your infinite form you pervade the cosmos.

You are Vayu, god of wind;

Yama, god of death;

Agni, god of fire;

Varuna, god of water.

You are the moon and the creator Prajapati,

and the great-grandfather of all creatures.

I bow before you and salute you again and again.

You are behind me and in front of me;

I bow to you on every side.

Your power is immeasurable.

You pervade everything;

you are everything.
