Shanti Path
asato maa sad gamaya |
from the unreal lead me to the real from darkness lead me to light from death lead me to immortality |
sarveshaam svastir bhavatu |
may all beings dwell in happiness may all beings dwell in peace may all beings attain oneness may all beings attain auspiciousness may all happiness be unto the whole world |
| om tryambakam yajaamahe sugandhim pushtivardhanam urvaa rukamiva bandhanaat mrityor mukshiiya maamritaat |
we pay homage to the universal consciousness which nourishes all beings, may we be liberated from the death of ignorance throuh knowledge of our immortal essence, just as the cucumber is severed from the bondage of the vine |
