Opening Invocation (Sanskrit)

Vande Gurunam Charanaravinde

Sundarsita Svatma Sukhavabodhe

Nih Sreyase Jangalikayamane

Samrara Halahala Mohasantayai

Abahu Purusakaram

Sankhacakrasi Dharinam

Sahasra Sirasam Svetam

Pranamami Patanjalim

OM

Opening Invocation (English translation)

OM

I bow to the lotus feet of the Gurus

The awakening happiness of one's own Self revealed

Beyond better, acting like the Jungle physician

Pacifying delusion, the poisoning of Samsara

Taking the form of a man to the shoulders

Holding a conch, a discus, and a sword

One thousand heads white

To Patanjali, I salute.

OM

Svastiprjabyah Paripalayantam

Nyayena Margena Mahim Mahisah

Gobrahmanebyah Subamastu Nityam

Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu

Closing Invocation (English translation)

OM

May all be well with mankind.

May the leaders of the earth protect it

in every way by keeping to the right path.

May there be goodness for those

who know the earth to be sacred.

May all the worlds be happy.
