Vedic Chantings:
Om sa ha navavatu, sahanau bhunaktu, saha viryam karavavahai
Tejasvi navadhitamastu ma vidvisavahai.
Om Santih, Santih, Santih.
May He protect us both (teacher and the taught) together (by revealing knowledge). May He protect us both (by vouchsafing the results of knowledge). may we attain vigour together. Let what we study be invigorating. May we not cavil at each other.
Om! Peace! Peace! Peace!
Om purnamada purnamidam purnat purnamudachyate
purnasya purnamadaya purnamevavasisyate
Om! Santih! Santih! Santih!
(for details explanation-check article-creation)
Om. That (supreme Brahman) is infinite, and this (conditioned Brahman) proceeds from the infinite (supreme Brahman). (Then through knowledge), realizing the infinitude of the infinite (conditioned Brahman), it remains as the infinite (unconditioned Brahman) alone.
Om! Peace! Peace! Peace!
Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra
Om Trayambakam yajamahe sughandhim pusti vardhanam
Urvarukamivabhandhanat mrityor muksiya mamrtat
Om! We offer our worship to the fragrant three-eyed Lord Siva who confers ever increasing prosperity. Please liberate us from the hands of death as effortlessly as an orvaruka fruit (watermelon) is separated from the vine; pease let us trun away from Liberation.
