27- Gayatri Mantra

These are the two mantra's we speak of with one another before and prior to leaving each yoga class at the Haven. I feel as if they bring much peace and tranquility to the room before and after each practice.

Gayatri Mantra


Aum
Aum bhoor bhuwah swaha
tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dheemahi
dhiyo yo naha prachodayat

Aum - Shanti, Shanti, Shanti

Translation

Through the coming, going and the balance of life.
The essential nature which illumes existence
is the adorable one.
May all perceive through subtle intellect,
the brilliance of enlightenment.
Om, peace, peace, peace.





Prayer for Enlightenment


Aum
Sahana Vavatu
Sahanou Bhunaktu
Sahaviryam Karavava Hi
Tejasvina Vadhitamastu
Mavidh Vishava Hi
Aum


Translation

May both of us together be protected.
May both of us together be nourished.
May we work together with great energy.
May our study together be brilliant and effective.
May we not hate or dispute with each other.
Om.






Namaste, Julie
