Let us meditate on Isvara and His Glory
who has created the Universe,
who is fit to be worshipped,
who is the remover of all sins and ignorance.
May he enlighten our intellect

Lead us from the unreal to the real
Lead us from darkness to light
Lead us from death to immortality
Aum shanti, shanti, shanti (Peace)!

Om, May All be Happy,
May All be Free from Illness.
May All See what is Auspicious,
May no one Suffer.
Om Shant, Shanti, Shanti (Peace)
