Universal Prayer

Von Swāmi Sivānanda
O Adorable Lord of Mercy and Love,
Salutations and prostrations unto Thee.
Thou art Omnipresent, Omnipo-tent and Omniscient.
Thou art Satchidānanda.
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 to control the mind.
Free us from egoism, lust, an-ger,
greed, hatred and jealousy.
Fill our hearts with Divine vir-tues.
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 for Ever and Ever.
