| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| O Lord, Thou art beyond the sea of relative existence. Thou art also in the midst of it ; I bow to Thee. Thou ebablest one to go beyond sin by means of holy chants. Thou takest one beyond the cycle of births and deaths through knowledge; I bow to Thee. Thou art in the tender grass, on the sea-shore as well as in the foaming waves; I bow to Thee. |

| Just as the ocean swells when, attended by the stars, the full moon - pure, auspicious, deer-marked and shattering darkness - is revealed in the sky by the 'eastern mountain', do one's joy increases beyond measure when Thou - who art united with the Divine Mother (Soma), who art pure, auspicious and perfect, and who bearest the deer and destroyest ignorance, appearest in the heart, - Thy nectarine form being revealed by the mountain of virtues acquired in the past. Then there is occupation, indeed, for the wise. |
