Twameva mata cha pita twameva...

Hari Aum.

A happy new year to all. Hope and pray 2017 brings us all spiritual growth and happiness.

Just wanted to share this simple yet beautiful Sanskrit prayer to God...this is often recited by yogis at the conclusion of a prayer or meditation session, for example while doing the lamp ceremony (aarti) before the statue or picture of one's favourite form of God...

Twameva mata cha pita twameva
Twameva bandhushcha sakha twameva
Twameva vidya cha dravinam twameva
Twameva sarvam mama deva deva.

This means,

You alone (twam eva) are my mother (mata), father (pita), relatives (bandhu), friends (sakha), knowledge (vidya) and wealth (dravinam). You alone are everything (sarvam), O my God of gods (mama devadeva).

May God bless us all to experience the truth of this prayer this year.....

Hari Aum Tat Sat.
