Om...
Amidst all the divine powers
A Hotri (होतृ) by the sacrificial fire
To each I offer a part of me
That was born of its desire
To Fire itself, I offer speech
Holy mantras, ancient divine
O Agnidev, accept my offering
And look after me and mine
To Air, I offer my breath, my prana
From whom it comes and goes
Keep it steady, O Vayudev
Keep all of us always close
To Earth, I offer my body whole
From which it came and will go
Keep us safe, O Bhumi Ma
Keep us safe, and let us grow
To Water I offer my tears of joy
Varun Dev, you've been kind
May you bless us forever
May you keep us in your mind
To Sky, my father in a sense
O Dyaus, I offer you my dreams
With your blessings take me there
Where all is really as it seems
My eyes, that borrow light
I offer to the Sun, where it’s born
O Suryadev, may our day be wonderful
Promise us this every morn
To Time I offer my mind itself
Knowing both are not divine
Till your tandav, O Bhairav kind
Keep us safe, keep us fine
Om hreem Shri Gurubhyo namah
O revered Gurus, wise and dear
I bow with gratitude to all of you
For having finally brought me here
