Dear Sukanya

 

The prayer used is not to Brahma but to Brahman.....

 

It comes from the 24th Verse of the 4th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita

 

It goes something like:

 

Om Brahmarpanam Brahmahavi Brahmagno Brahmanahutam

Brahmeva Tena Gantavyam Brahamakarma Samadhina

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti, Hari Om Tat Sat.

 

Some of the youngsters of the Vivekananda Classes are asked to

learn this by heart and also the English meaning we give to it

is as:

 

Offer to Brahman, that which is Brahman,

through the fire that is Brahman in order

to be established as Brahman....
