Yoga Prayer
PRAYER
Before starting yoga practice close your eyes and chant following universal
prayers suitable for every caste, creed, culture or religion:
Chant OM three times very clear and deep. 50% time open mouth and 50%
time lips together with full awareness.
Then chant following prayer:
|| Om Sahana Vavatu. Sahanau Bhunaktu
Sahaveeryam Karvavahai ||
|| Tejasvina aVadhitamastu
Ma Vidhwishavahai ||
|| Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi ||
Meaning in English : Oh lord ! protect all of us and help us that we get capacity to study and understand (the
scriptures). We acquire the knowledge. With the acquisition of this knowledge
let peaceful power also flow in us. Help us that we get brilliance. We don’t
hold any grudges (enmity) against anyone. Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi.
Eyes remain closed and after this chanting, rub your palms together.
Cover your face with your hands. Bend forward your head. Maintain full
awareness. Slowly come back and gently
open your eyes. This centering process stabilizes the mind and body to enable
us to proceed with yoga practice.
