Ancient Vedic Hymn

I salute the supreme teacher,

The truth, whose nature is bliss;

Who is the giver of the highest

Happiness; who is pure wisdom;

Who is beyond all qualities and

Infinite like the sky; who is beyond

Words; who is one and eternal,

Pure and still; who is beyond all

Change and phenomenon and who is

The silent witness to all our

Thoughts and emotions- I solute

Truth, the supreme teacher

In Him I take refuge

In Him I take refuge, the Birth less, Everlasting,

The cause of all causes,

The transcendental, who is beyond darkness,

The Auspicious One, the Self existent, the light of

Lights, who is without beginning or end:

In Him I take refuge, - the Supreme

Purifier, One without a second.
