Saha nau avatu, saha nau bhunaktu

Saha viryam karavavahai.

May He protect us together.

May He own us together.

May He make unto us vigour and virility.

 

Comment

 

God, Guru, and disciple:

God is Compassion and Protection;

Guru is Concern;

The disciple is dedication.

When these three work together,

perfect Perfection shines,

and it will shine through eternity.
