Om Namah Shivaye

Om namah shivaya gurave
Satchitananda murtaye

I honor the teacher within me
Which is composed of truth, consciousness and bliss
Which is ever present, dispels darkness and brings peace
and which needs no conditions to shine radiantly

Om santih santih santhi

May both of us together be protected
May both of us together be nourished
May we work together with great energy
May our study be brilliant and effective
May we not hate or dispute with each other
Om, peace, peace, peace

Gayatri Mantra

Om bhur bhuva svaha
Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasya dhimahi
Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat

We meditate on the glory of creation
And that which creates the cosmos
Which deserves our praise
Which embodies wisdom and luminosity
And dissolves all separateness and ignorance
May this glory infuse our intelligence
