I invoke the blessings of Aum

I invoke the blessings of Aum with head bowed,

hands folded I plead with Thee…

Whatever I am…howsoever I am,

I belong only to Thee…

May I remember Thee with speech, breath, eyes and ears..

May I worship Thee with every faculty…

Strengthen every limb of mine Lord,

that I may rest at Thy feet!

May I never deny That Brahm,

Who is propagated in Upanishadic lore

May Brahm also never leave me,

may I be bound irrevocably to That Core.

May I become the embodiment of the essence

that the scriptures decree

With every faculty may I inscribe in life,

the message the scriptures give to me…

With this tongue may I speak of Thee,

with these eyes let me see only Thee

Let these feet walk along Thine path,

may these ears only hear Thee…

May love ever flow from these eyes,

may I accept all as You do…

Knowing that each being is Thine,

let me offer obeisance too.
