Meaning
Oh! Ishvara! Victory to You! We remember you and invoke you! In our lives, for the sake of our highest good we have chosen Karma Yoga as the only firm path. In this world, let the obstacles in our Pilgrimage to our destination be removed always by our Renunciation, Service and Self – Knowledge.
We are verily the children of Immortality. We are born here to carry out your work only. Service rendered to the suffering and the fallen with wisdom and understanding untainted by desire becomes our worship to you O Ishvara!
Ishvara! Give us strength in our body and courage in our hearth. Let our conduct and thought be ideal and let it be as per the ideal we have chosen, the sacred task which we have solemnly undertaken, Let Your Blessings alone take it to fulfilment.
Whatever we receive in Life, let us give far more than that. This is our prayer O Bhagavan! Please fulfil it.
