Opening Mantra
Om
Praise and adoration to the lotus feet of the gurus
for they reveal the happiness of the true Self
they are the refuge in the dark impenetrable forest of the mind
transforming poison and endless illusion into eternal peace
a tribute to the great sage Patañjali
who took the form of a luminous man
wielding a conch shell, a disc and a sword crowned by
a brilliant white cobra with a thousand heads
Om
Closing Mantra
Om
May humanity be well
May world leaders protect with justice
May those who know that the Earth is a sacred place be blessed
May all beings be happy and prosperous.
Om
peace peace peace

Vande Gurunam charanaravinde
Sandarshita svatma sukava bodhe
Nishreyase jangalikayamane
Samara halahala mohashantyai​
Abahu purushakaram
Shankhachakrasi dharinam
Sahasra shirasam Shvetam
Pranamami Patanjalim

Swasti praja bhyah pari pala yantam

Go brahmanebhyaha shubamastu nityam
Lakaa samastha sukhino bhavantu
