Prayers for Every Season of Life
In English and Hindi, drawn from ancient tradition and offered in the same spirit, for whatever you're carrying today.
Health & Healing
We honor the three-eyed one, fragrant, who nourishes all life.
As a ripened fruit is freed from its vine, may we be freed from the grip of death, into immortality.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात्॥
Family
May all be happy, may all be free from illness.
May all see what is good, may none suffer.
Om, peace, peace, peace.
ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः, सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः।
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु, मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत्।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥
Peace & Anxiety
Lead me from the unreal to the real.
Lead me from darkness to light.
Lead me from death to immortality.
Om, peace, peace, peace.
असतो मा सद्गमय। तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय।
मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥
Work & Career
Guide my hands in the work I do, and my heart in the choices I make.
When the path forward is unclear, grant patience. When effort goes unseen, grant purpose.
मेरे कार्यों में मेरे हाथों का, और मेरे निर्णयों में मेरे हृदय का मार्गदर्शन करो।
जब राह स्पष्ट न हो, धैर्य दो। जब परिश्रम अनदेखा रह जाए, उद्देश्य दो।
Grief & Loss
For what has been lost, let there be remembrance.
For the ache that remains, let there be gentleness.
Hold those who grieve, and let love outlast absence.
जो खो गया, उसकी स्मृति बनी रहे।
जो पीड़ा शेष है, उसमें कोमलता हो।
शोकाकुल हृदयों को थामे रखो, और प्रेम को अनुपस्थिति से बड़ा होने दो।
Relationships
Where there is misunderstanding, grant patience to listen.
Where there is hurt, grant courage to forgive.
May the bonds that matter to us grow stronger through honesty and care.
जहाँ गलतफहमी हो, सुनने का धैर्य दो।
जहाँ पीड़ा हो, क्षमा करने का साहस दो।
हमारे लिए महत्वपूर्ण रिश्ते ईमानदारी और देखभाल से और मजबूत हों।
Strength & Hope
Om, the earth, the sky, the heavens.
Let us meditate on the radiant light of that source of all life.
May it illuminate and guide our understanding.
ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं।
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि।
धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात्॥
Gratitude
For the breath I take without thinking, for the people who stay, for the small mercies of an ordinary day, thank you.
Let me not take for granted what quietly holds my life together.
हर उस सांस के लिए जो बिना सोचे चलती है, हर उस अपने के लिए जो साथ रहता है, हर उस छोटी कृपा के लिए जो एक साधारण दिन में मिलती है, धन्यवाद।
मुझे उसे हल्के में न लेने दो जो चुपचाप मेरे जीवन को संभाले हुए है।
