Salutations

Transliteration

Yo devo’ gnau yo’ psu yo visvam bhuvanam avivesa
Ya osadhisu yo vanaspatisu tasmai devaya namo namah.

Translation

We offer our supreme salutations to this divine Being
Who is in fire, in water,
in the plants, in the trees,
and who has entered
and pervaded the whole universe.

Comment

Fire is aspiration.
Water is consciousness.
A plant is a climbing hope.
A tree is an assuring confidence.
The divine Being is the concealed Breath and revealed of the universe.
