Prayer before meals

Brahmaarpanam Brahmahavir
Brahmaaghau Brahmanaahutam
Brahmaiva Tena Gantavyam
Brahma Karma Samaadhinaa

Brahman is the oblation; Brahman is the clarified butter etc. constituting the offerings; By Brahman is the oblation poured into the fire of Brahman; Brahman verily shall be reached by him who always sees Brahman in all actions.

Aham Vaisvaanaro Bhutvaa
Praaninam Deham Aasritaah
Praanaapaana-Samaauyuktah
Pachaamya-Annam Catur-Vidham.
Om Shantih, Shantih, Shantih

Abiding in the body of living beings as Fire (Vaisvanara) – “I” (The Supreme Consciousness) express my self as the warmth-of-life (Prana and Apana) and digest the four-fold food. Peace … Peace… Peace ….
