Pray, lead us from Untruth to Truth
From Darkness to Light (from Ignorance to Wisdom)
From Death to Immortality
Om may there be Peace Peace and Peace
Om Poorna Madah Poornamidam
Poornat Poornamudachyate
Poornasya Poornamadaya
Poornam Evavashishyate
Om Shantih Shantih Shantih
Om That which is Unmanifest is full and That which Manifest is also Full
That which comes out of the Full is also Full
Taking the Full from the Full what remains is also Full
(It is spoken of the Divine Consciousness, or Brahman)
Om may there be Peace Peace and Peace
Namostwanantya Sahasra Murtaye
Sahasra Padakshi Shirorubahave
Sahasra Namne Purushaya Shaswate
Sahasra Koti Yuga Dharine Namah!
That which is endless with many forms, with thousands of feet, heads and hands, and again bearing (or known by) thousands of names, to that eternal Being, that is Purusha, Who is timeless, to that Being we salute.

Oh Lord of Lords! Thou art only my Mother, my Father
Thou art the only my kith and kin and a true Friend indeed
Thou art the only true Knowledge and the Wealth of mine
and Thou art the One and only One to Whom I surrender
