Invocation

Invocation

Whether pure or impure, whether purity or impurity is permeating all over, whosoever opens himself to the expanded vision of unbounded awareness gains inner and outer purity.

 
Invocation

To Lord Narayan, to lotus-born Brahma the Creator, to Vashista, to Shakti and his son Parashar.

To Vyasa, to Shukadeva, to the great Gaudapada, to Govinda, ruler among the yogis, to his disciples.

Shri Shankaracharya, to his disciples Padma-Padam Hasta Malak.

To him, Trotakacharya, to Vartik-kar, to others, to the tradition of our Masters, I bow down.

To the abode of the wisdom of the Shrutis, Smritis and Puranas, to the abode of kindness, to the personified glory of the Lord Shankara, emancipator of the world, I bow down.

To Shankaracharya the emancipator, hailed as Krishna and Badarayana, to the commentator of the Brahma Sutras, I bow down, to the glory of the Lord I bow down again and again.

At whose door the whole galaxy of gods pray for perfection day and night.

Adorned by immeasurable glory, preceptor of the whole world, having bowed down to Him, we gain fulfillment.

Skilled in dispelling the cloud of ignorance of the people, the gentle emancipator, Brahmananda Saraswati, the supreme teacher, full of brilliance, Him I bring to my awareness.
