1 1 PRAYER Om saha navavatu (Om saha na wa wa too) Saha nau bhunaktu (Saha na boo nak too) Saha viryam karavavahai (Saha viryam kara wawa hay) Tejasvi navadhitam astu (Te ja swena wahe tamas tu) Ma vidvishavahai (Ma wid we sha wa hay) Om shantih, shantih, shantih (Om shaantee, shaantee, shaanetee) May the Divine protect us while we are together. May all obstacles be removed which stand in the way of our understanding the truth that all is One and that there is no division or separation between us. May we grasp this understanding with full comprehension and without doubt so that all misunderstanding is dissolved within us. May we not cherish hatred, anger or displeasure. May our hearts be full of love. May perfect friendship reign between us. May the space around us be free of fear. May the East and the West, North and South, be free of fear. May the earth be free of fear. May the past and the future be free of fear. May we have no foes. May we all be friends. May our hearts be full of love. May the human race unite in one fearless friendship. Om. Peace. Peace. Peace. (This prayer is ancient, the translation is contemporary and is by Dr. Richard Miller)

(This is the Adi Mantra, or Primal Mantra, as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Mantra means the projection (tra) of the mind (man). Chant this mantra to tune into the divine teacher within, known in the Yoga tradition as the inner atman). Ra Ma Da Sa This chant and text is sourced from the C.D. Grace by Snatam Kaur, Spirit Voyage Records Raa Maa Daa Saa Saa Say So Hung Sun Moon Earth Impersonal Infinity Totality of Infinity Personal sense of merger and identity. The Infinite vibrating and real. This mantra taps into the energies of the sun, moon, earth, and the Infinite Spirit to bring deep healing. It can be changed to heal he self or to send healing energy to anyone you wish. It can be practiced with the following posture, as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Sit in an easy pose (crossed legs or kneeling) with a straight spine. Bring your arms in towards your body so that the upper arms are up against the ribs and place the palms skyward at a 60-degree angle from the body. Close the eyes and chant this mantra. Feel the healing energy that comes into your hands, and at the end of the meditation meditate on the being that you wish to bring healing to. In the process of healing someone else through this mantra you will be healed as well. After the Ra Ma Da Sa meditation, the mantra Guru Guru Wahe Guru comes: feel your prayer connect with the Divine Will and know Grace is with you.
