Vande gurunam caranaravinde

OM

 I bow to the lotus feet of the Gurus
                                                                        The awakening happiness of one’s own
Self revealed,

Beyond better, acting like a Jungle physician, Pacifying delusion, the poison of Samsara.

Taking the form of a man to the shoulders, holding a conch, a discus, and a sword,

One thousands white heads to Patanjali, I salute.
