Om Namah Sivaya!

Today, I am reciting Swami Sivananda's Universal Prayer.

Universal Prayer
Written by Swami Sivananda, the Universal Prayer expresses the sentiment that God is One whatever name we call Him/Her by, whatever form we see Her/Him in. It is a prayer that may be recited by followers of any religion or creed.

O Adorable Lord of Mercy and Love
Salutations and prostrations unto Thee
Thou art Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient
Thou art Saccidānanda
Thou art Existence, Knowledge and Bliss Absolute
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 temptation and control the mind.
Free us from egoism, lust, anger, greed, 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 ever remember Thee.
Let us ever sing Thy glories.
Let Thy name be ever on our lips.
Let us abide in Thee forever and ever.
Om bolo sat guru Śivānanda mahārāja kī Jai!
Om bolo śrī guru Viṣṇudevānanda mahārāja kī Jai!
