contained in them, bless me with wisdom! May I be adorned with the knowledge of

Brahman that leads to immortality! May my body become strong and vigorous (to

practise meditation)! May my tongue always utter delightful words! May I hear

much with my ears! Thou art the scabbard of Brahman hidden by worldly taints

(not revealed by impure, puny intellects). May I never forget all that I have

learnt! Om peace, peace, peace!

Meaning:

 

I am the destroyer of the tree (of samsara; worldly life). My reputation is as

highest treasure. I am all-wise, immortal and indestructible. This is

Trishanku¢s realization. Om peace, peace, peace!

He who creates this entire universe in the beginning, and He about whom the

Vedas gloriously praise and sing, in Him I take refuge with the firm faith and

belief that my intellect may shine with Self-knowledge. Om peace, peace, peace!

 

Harihi Om!

viSwaani dEva savitar duritaani paraasuva,

yad bhadram tanma aasuva.

world, the radiant One. O Thou the creator, sustainer and dissolver of the whole

world, O Thou the one great motionless Being, free from change and modification.

O Thou eternal all-pervading witness of the whole universe, we meditate on the

one Truth. We silently adore Thee and offer Thee our salutation. We take

complete refuge in that one Almighty Being, the basis of everything,

self-supporting and supreme, and a vessel in the stormy sea of life.

Meaning: (two interpretations)

 

1.By Swami Shivananda, Rishikesh

O Supreme Lord, Thy celestial regions are full of peace and harmony; peace

reigns on Thy earth and Thy waters. Thy herbs and trees are full of peace. All

Thy forces of nature are full of peace and harmony. There is peace and

perfection in Thy eternal knowledge; everything in the universe is peaceful, and

peace pervades everywhere. O Lord, may that peace come to me!

2. By Swami Abhedananda, Ramakrishna Vedanta Math, India.

May peace radiate there in the whole sky as well as in the vast ethereal space

everywhere. May peace reign all over this earth, in water and in all herbs,

trees and creepers. May peace flow over the whole universe. May peace be in the

Supreme Being Brahman. And may there always exist in all peace and peace alone.
