THE UNIVERSAL PRAYER

Divine Life Society was founded by Swami Sivananda on Jan.13, 1936 at Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. I wish to share the Universal Prayer with friends. Swami Sivananda in simple terms taught to “be good and do good”.



THE UNIVERSAL PRAYER

O ADORABLE LORD OF MERCY AND LOVE!
SALUTATIONS AND PROSTRATIONS UNTO THEE.
THOU ART OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT AND OMNISCIENT,
THOU ART SATCHIDANANDA (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 TEMTATIONS AND TO CONTROL THE MIND,
FREE US FROM EGOISM, LUST, GREED, HATRED, ANGER AND JEALOUSLY,
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.

I hope you will like it. Please visit www.sivanandaonline.org for more details.
