O adorable Lord of Mercy and Love!

Salutations and prostrations unto Thee.

Thou Art Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient.

Thou art Satchidananda (Existence-Consciousness- Bliss Absolute).

Equal vision, balanced mind,

Faith, devotion and wisdom,

Grant us inner spiritual strength

To resist temptations and to control the mind.

Free us from egoism, lust, greed, hatred, anger and jealousy.

fill our hearts with divine virtues.

Let is behold Thee in all the names and forms.

Let us serve Thee in all these names and forms.

Let us remember Thee.

Let us sing Thy glories.

Let thy name be ever on our lips.

Let us abide in Thee for ever and ever.
