Prārthanā Gitam (प्रार्थनागीतम्)
By Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananada
त्वं हि नो नेता त्वं हि नो दाता ।
यत्र त्वं नयसि तत्र गच्छामः ॥१॥
tvaṁ hi no netā tvaṁ hi no dātā
yatra tvaṁ nayasi tatra gacchāmaḥ ||1||
You are our Leader. You are our Provider. Wherever You lead us, there we shall follow.
कापि नो चिन्ता क्वापि नो भयम्।
यदाश्रये तव वर्तामहे सदा ॥२॥
kāpi no cintā kvāpi no bhayam
yadāśraye tava vartāmahe sadā || 2||
We have no worries… we have no fear… for we are always under your shelter.
रक्षकस्त्वं हि संकटे क्वापि ।
शिक्षकस्त्वं हि शोभने पथि ॥३॥
rakṣakastvaṁ hi sankaṭe kvāpi
śikṣakastvaṁ hi śobhane pathi || 3||
Indeed, You are our Protector in difficulties. You are our Teacher on the path of goodness.
देहि नः शक्तिं बुद्धिं तथा भक्तिम् ।
दर्शिते मार्गे चलनाय नित्यं हि ॥४॥
dehi naḥ śaktiṁ buddhiṁ tathā bhaktim |
darśite mārge calanāya nityaṁ hi || 4||
Grant us strength, wisdom, and devotion to always walk on the path You have shown us.
यदि विस्मरामस्त्वां त्वं न विस्मर नः ।
बालकास्तव हे करुणाकर प्रभो ॥५॥
yadi vismarāmastvāṁ tvaṁ na vismara naḥ
bālakāstava he karuṇākara prabho || 5||
Should we forget You, You please forget us not. We are Your children, O compassionate Lord!
हे प्रभो ! हे विभो !! हे गुरो !!!
he prabho! he vibho !! he guro !!!
O omniscient Lord! O omnipresent Lord! O Guru!
