Raag aasaa mehela chauthaa So Purkh

I know that I am one with God. Ik ong kar sat gur parsaad

This is my True Guru’s gift.

The Primal One is perfectly pure. The Primal God is perfect.

He is within all, beyond all.

Everyone meditates. All souls meditate on You, O True Creator.

All souls are one with You. All souls come from You.

O Saints, meditate on God and all pains will fly away.

God himself is the Master. God Himself is the Servant.

O Nanak, everyone is empty-handed before Him.

You are in each beat of my heart, and in all hearts.

O Lord, you are the One in everyone.

Some are givers and some are takers.

This all Your play. You are the Giver and You are the receiver.

It is all You.

You are the God of all; endless and Infinite. I have no words to describe your virtues.

O Lord, Nanak is a sacrifice unto those who serve

and serve You forever.

Mediate on God. Meditate on God and your soul will be at peace in this world.

Meditate on God and live free. Life free and know the noose of death is meaningless.

Mediate on the fearless One, the fearless God, and live free from fear.

Those who serve, O those who serve my Lord, are one with Har (God) and they look Divine.

Blessed, O blessed are they who meditate on Har (God).

Servant Nanak is a sacrifice unto them. Devotion to You, O devotion to You

is a treasure trove that ever overflows.

Your lovers, O Your lovers praise You,

my Beloved, forever and ever. For You, just for You O Lord,

so many poojas are performed and so many endlessly chant and discipline themselves.

For You, just for You O Lord,

so many read the Smritis and Shastras. They do kriyas and ceremonies.

Those loers, those lovers are sublimne, O servant Nanak, who are pleasing to God.

You are the Primal One, the most awesome Creator of everything.

There is none as great as You.

Throughout time and byond time, You are the One, constant and true Creator.

You do everything, and everything happens according to Your Will.

You create the whole universe. You destroy it and create it again.

Servant Nanak sings the praises of his beloved Lord

forever and ever.

He is the Knower within all souls.

Prayer is the out pouring of love to the Divine from the heart.

It can also be the way in which we connect to the Divine.

On our path of devotion the majority of our prayers are offered through ritual ceremonies.

This takes the form of prayer through Christian and Hindu Ceremonies. Prayer in general can be a very open and free way of worshipping the Divine whilst ceremonial forms of worship such as puja is more ritualistic.

Both lead oneself to the same goal - the Divine.

Lead me from the unreal to the Real.

Lead me from darkness unto Light.

Lead me from death to Immortality

Lyric/Translation:

You are constant in each and every heart, and in all things. O Dear Lord, You are the One. Some are givers, and some are beggars. This is all Your wondrous play. You Yourself are the giver, and You Yourself are the enjoyer. I know no other than You. You are the Supreme Lord God, limitless and infinite. What virtues of Yours can I speak of and describe? Unto those who serve You, unto those who serve You, Dear Lord, servant Nanak is a sacrifice.

Prayers

From Metaphysical Meditations

by Paramahansa Yogananda

O Spirit,

make my soul Thy temple, but make my heart Thy beloved home where Thou wouldst dwell with me in ease and everlasting understanding.

Divine Mother,

with the language of my soul I demand realization of Thy presence. Thou art the essence of everything. Make me see Thee in every fiber of my being, in every wisp of thought. Awaken my heart!

O Bestower of unceasing bliss!

I will seek to make others truly happy, in gratitude for the divine joy Thou hast given me. Through my spiritual happiness I will serve all.

Heavenly Father,

teach me to remember Thee in poverty or prosperity, in sickness or health, in ignorance or wisdom. Teach me to open my closed eyes of unbelief and behold Thine instantaneously healing light.

O blazing Light!

awaken my heart, awaken my soul, ignite my darkness, tear the veil of silence, and fill my temple with Thy glory.

Heavenly Father,

charge my body with Thy vitality, charge my mind with Thy spiritual power, charge my soul with Thy joy, Thine immortality.

O Father,

Thine unlimited and all-healing power is in me. Manifest Thy light through the darkness of my ignorance.

O Eternal Energy,

awaken in me conscious will, conscious vitality, conscious health, conscious realization.

Heavenly Spirit,

bless me that I may easily find happiness instead of becoming worried at every test and difficulty.

Father,

teach me to include the prosperity of others in the pursuit of my own prosperity.

Teach me to feel that Thou art the power behind all wealth, and the value within all things. Finding Thee first, I will find everything else in Thee.

Invincible Lord,

teach me to use my will unceasingly in the performance of good actions, until the little light of my will burns as the cosmic blaze of Thine all-powerful will.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father Which art in heaven

Hallowed be Thy name

Thy kingdom come Thy will be done

On Earth As it is in heaven

Give us this day Our daily bread

And forgive us Our debts

As we forgive Our debters

Into temptation But deliver us

From evil For Thine

Is the kingdom And the power

And the glory For ever and ever

Amen

The Gayatri Mantra

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfKigD3vY8A

by Deva Premal

O Thou Who givest sustenance to the universe,

From Whom all things proceed,

To Whom all things return,

Unveil to us the face of the true Spiritual Sun

Hidden by a disc of golden Light

That we may know the Truth And do our whole duty

As we journey to Thy sacred feet.

Om bhoor-bhuvaH svaH,

tat-savitur-vareNNyam,

bhargo devasya dheemahi,

dhiyo yo naH pracho-dayaat.

The Gayatri is one of the oldest mantric prayers humanity has ever had. When even partially understood its potency is very great.

The Gayatri places our destiny as part of a cosmic Plan, the majesty of which we cannot comprehend. It is a declaration of ultimate victory to be achieved by knowing the truth and doing our whole duty, and this we do as we journey to God's sacred feet.

In the Gayatri we pray to the creator of the entire universe and so establish the beginnings of a conscious relationship, transcending all limitations of "the one supreme God". Its use builds into our deepest consciousness the reality that man is God-created and not the mere result of a biological urge.

In the long past ages all we knew about God was what we were told with boundless claims of authority. Those thus gaining power over us proclaimed that religion did not have to be reasonable.

In the new Aquarian age we are now entering, the power of the human mind cannot longer be denied, for humanity has come of age and religion will have to be reasonable or it will have no power over us. Men and women will think more purposefully about God than ever before.

The Gayatri is a prayer for more knowledge about our solar Logos. That so ancient a prayer could have such an objective is deeply significant. Today the full potency of this ancient prayer can become effective.

All people everywhere in the world will gain much as it is increasingly used by the men and women of goodwill. Its use by disciples everywhere will bring new effectiveness to all their work. "The hour of the saving force has now arrived", and the Gayatri is an agent of that saving force. Its day of greatest usefulness has surely come.
