Om Bhur Bhuva Svah Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi Dhiyo yo Nah Prachodyat May our intellect (Dhiyo) bear (Dhimahi) that Supreme Consciousness which embodies and protects the vital-spiritual energies (Bhur), eliminates suffering (Bhuvah), embodies happiness (Svah), and that (Tat) self-luminous divine brilliance and ultimate creative source (Savitur), the best of the best, most virtuous (Varenyam). Potential cleanser of all our imperfections (Bhargo)—aggregation of all divine virtues and strengths (Devasya).

Chords Vs. D-G Ch. A-E-D Vs. Oh the roads you'll travel Oh the things you'll see Oh the lives you'll live Oh the things you'll be Traveling on this road Ever towards the one. Down through the sun's halo, White as the snow. Flies the dove of love Perched on my shoulder now And nuzzles against my cheek Telling me what's to be. Ch. This is one dove's dedication to the flower of life. Vs. To live from the heart is to live to be free, And give thanks to the mother for she is the seed. When we came from the stars and the heavens to the Sea, to the earth where we placed our own bare feet She embraced us with her love and said you are welcome child of God. Take care of the land from there you will eat Keep the water clean from there you will drink The sun ray's gold will bath your soul And the air you breath in will energize The whole of your being, connected to all that is. Purify the body, purify the mind, then songs you will sing to know the divine. Speak truth from your words and all will reveal, reflections we are all on this wheel. Spinning through space and time, one more journey closer to the divine. To serve and be served is one way to be free And to love and to give unconditionally Hold reverence for life and all you perceive For this life is what you make it to be And let grace fall upon you for you will know that you are infinity Ch.

It is known for giving victory in all aspects of life. • It is said that when we are challenged in life, there are three impulses we confront: One is to be alone and withdraw, the second is to deny or fantasize about the future, and the third is to live greedily or in scarcity instead of prosperously. This mantra is to help us overcome these tendencies and give courage and fortitude.

When I remember God, I feel peaceful and happy and all my pain departs. More Information: • These are the words of Guru Arjan, the Fifth Sikh Guru, and are for complete protection.

It is a victory song which allows us to be guided by God’s graceful and merciful hand.

Ardhas Bhaee 09:18
Mantra: Ardas Bhaee Amar Das Guru, Amar Das Guru, Ardas Bhaee, Ram Das Guru, Ram Das Guru, Ram Das Guru, Sachee Sahee Translation: The prayer has been given to Guru Amar Das. The prayer is manifested by Guru Ram Das. The miracle is complete. English Lyrics: You are my life. You are my love. Everlasting peace. Healer of all. Bestower of faith. Bestower of all. I am at your feet, Beloved O Lord. Bring me to thy bliss. Bring me to thy love. The nectar of the naam, rests me in your arms. I am that I am and I am all Yours. More Information: • Guru is that which directs one from darkness (gu) to light (ru), from ignorance to the experience of one’s infinite nature. Guru Amar Das is the third of the Sikh Gurus and is the energy of grace and hope when there is no hope. He lived from 1479 to 1574 and is said to embody generosity and equality. • Guru Ram Das, his son-in-law, is the fourth of the Sikh Gurus and is the energy of miracles, healings, and blessings. He lived from 1534 until 1581 and is said to embody humility, loving service, and compassion. Ram means “servant of the Lord.” • If you ask something of Guru Ram Das, he has to bring it to God for you. Give your worries to Guru Ram Das and let him take them to God. The God that rotates the Earth can certainly take care of your problems! This is the mantra for answered prayers. • As Yogi Bhajan says, “Normally there is no power in the human but the power of prayer. And to do prayer, you have to put your mind and body together and then pray from the soul. ‘Ardas Bhaee’ is a mantra prayer. If you sing it, your mind, body, and soul automatically combine, and without saying what you want, the need of the life is adjusted. That is the beauty of this prayer.”

Poem by Hafiz: Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that, it lights up the entire sky. English lyrics by Ananda Yogiji: So make your love like the sun and shine down on everyone. Mantra: Ang Sung Wahe Guru Translation: The dynamic, loving energy of the Infinite Source of All is dancing within my every cell, and is present in my every limb. My individual consciousness merges with the Universal Consciousness. The Infinite Being, God, is with me and vibrates in every molecule and cell of my being. More Information • As Gurucharan Singh, director of training at the Kundalini Research Institute, writes, “This mantra expresses a universal truth. Repeating it creates a thought, which gradually guides the psyche to adjust itself. It reconnects every fragmented projection of the psyche, each separated part of the body, and synchronizes the finite sense of self to the Infinite Oneness. This act of rejoining the separated parts is the quintessential act of healing. Under attack, under war, under the pressures of fear, this meditation keeps us together, conscious, and ready to act. It brings the inner peacefulness that comes only from the touch and scope of spirit.”
