Opening Prayer

Aum
Sahana vavathu
Sahanau Bhunakthu
Sahaviryam Karavavahai
Thejasvi navadi thamasthu
Ma Vidvishavahai
Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti

Being the first blog, lets start here with the prayer too... :-)
Meaning: `Aum. May HE (the one divine Self in all) protect us both (student and teacher); may HE nourish us both; may we both acquire energy & strength (by his education); may we not hate each other (because of our difference in knowledge). Aum. Peace, Peace, Peace.'
