Opening Mantra
ॐ
vande gurunam charanaravinde
sandarsita svatmasukhava bodhe
nihsreyase jangalikayamane
samsara halahala mohasantyai
abahu purusakaram
sankhacakrasi dharinam
sahasra sirasam svetam
pranamami patanjalim
ॐ
Translation
ॐ
I bow to the lotus like feet of the Gurus
The awakening happiness of one’s own Self-revealed
Beyond better, acting like the Jungle physician
Pacifying delusion, the poison of Samsara
Taking the form of a man to the shoulders
Holding a conch, a discus, and a sword
One thousand illuminating white heads
To Patanjali, I bow down in gratitude.
ॐ
Closing Mantra
Svasthi Praja Bhyaha Pari Pala Yantam
Nya Yena Margena Mahim Mahishaha
Go Brahmanebhyaha Shubamastu Nityam
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
ॐ
Shanti Shanti Shanti-hi
