Universal Prayer

"The Universal Prayer" by H.H. Sri Swami Sivananda (the Guru of Sri Swami Satchidananda). A beautiful interfaith prayer of devotion written by Sri Swami Sivananda in the mid-1900s and repeated daily at his Ashram in Rishikesh, Himalayas (India) and at Satchidananda Ashram and all Integral Yoga centers, as well as all of Swami Vishnu's centers worldwide. Now you can hear this prayer recited by Sri Swami Sivanandaji himself.

Swami Sivananda's Universal Prayer:
O Adorable Lord of Mercy and Love !
Salutations and prostrations unto Thee.
Thou art Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient.
Thou art Existence-Consciousness-Bliss Absolute.
Thou art the Indweller of all beings.

Grant us an understanding heart,
Equal vision, balanced mind,
Faith, devotion and wisdom.
Grant us inner spiritual strength
To resist temptation and to control the mind.
Free us from egoism, lust, greed, hatred, anger and jealousy.
Fill our hearts with divine virtues.

Let us behold Thee in all these names and forms.
Let us serve Thee in all these names and forms.
Let us ever remember Thee.
Let us ever sing Thy glories.
Let Thy Name be ever on our lips.
Let us abide in Thee for ever and ever.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti
