Hindu Prayers

Giving up all creeds, rituals, and practices I surrender to the Lord alone [who says] I will release you from your sins and give you liberation; do not despair or grieve.

On the absolute Reality and its facets, On that finest spiritual Light, we meditate - as Remover of obstacles - that it may inspire and enlighten us.

We meditate on that supreme eternal Reality, source of all that is, encompassing the worlds of the body, the mind, and the soul, abode of supreme joy; That radiating source of life with the brightness of the sun; That most adorable and desirable; we meditate on That luster and splendor, That Supreme Divine.

Lead us from Untruth to Truth, from Darkness to Light, from Death to Immortality. Om peace, peace, peace
