THE UNIVERSAL PRAYER
O Adorable Lord of Mercy and Love.
Salutations and prostrations unto Thee
Thou art Satchidananda.
Thou art Omnipresent Omnipotent and Omniscient
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 temptations and to control the mind
Free us from egoism, lust, greed, anger, hatred and Jealousy
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 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.
   -Swami Sivananda
