From darkness to light – A simple prayer

The original is in Sanskrit. I don’t know Sanskrit but I was delighted to find the proper translation from Isha Foundation.
Here is the original prayer
Aum…Aum…Aum…
Asatoma sadgamaya
Tamasoma jyotirgamaya
Mrutyorma amrutamgamaya
Aum Shanthi…Shanthi…Shanthihi.
Asatoma sadgamaya
Tamasoma jyotirgamaya
Mrutyorma amrutamgamaya
Aum Shanthi…Shanthi…Shanthihi.
Here is the translation
From Untruth to Truth. From Darkness to Light.
(From Ignorance to Enlightenment)
From Mortality to Immortality
May I be lead
Aum…Peace…Peace…Peace.
(From Ignorance to Enlightenment)
From Mortality to Immortality
May I be lead
Aum…Peace…Peace…Peace.
My $.02 – the timing is such that all of us in the world need this prayer. Wish you the very best!
