Opening chant:

Om

vande gurūnam caranāravinde

sandarśita svātma sukhāva bodhe

nih śreyase jangalikāyamāne

samsāra hālāhala mohaśāntyai

ābāhu purushākāram

śankhacakrāsi dhārinam

sahasra śirasam śvetam

pranamāmi patanjalim

Om

I bow at the lotus feet of the Guru

and behold the awakened joy of my own soul

the ultimate refuge, the jungle doctor

pacifying the poisonous delusion of repetitive existence.

I bow to Patanjali who has assumed the form of a brilliantly

luminous man with thousands of snakeheads and

who bears a conch, discus and a sword

Closing chant:

Om

svastiprajābhyah paripālayantām nyāyena mārgena mahim mahīśah

gobrāhmanebhyah śubhamastu nityam lokāh samastāh sukhinobhavantu

Om shanti shanti shantih

May all be well with mankind.

May the leaders of the earth protect it and all beings by keeping the right path.

May there be goodness for those who know the earth to be sacred.

May all the world be happy.

Om peace peace peace
