Christocentric Satsang: Gaytri Series (Mantra)

In our Nepali and Hindi Christocentric Satsangs, the following series of mantras is used near the beginning of our worship times.  The series combines two classic Sanskrit mantras well-known by Hindus throughout the world with additional recitations that point to the Triune Godhead (TriEak Parmeshwar) as the fulfillment of these ancient prayers. 

As presented in this video, the mantras are best chanted corporately, in unison.  I have provided below written forms of these mantras in Sanskrit followed by Nepali and English translations (Devanagari & Romanized).

English Translation:
Peace,
Creator of Earth, Space, and Heaven,
You who are clothed with light,
May we meditate on your purifying light,
May you guide our intellects.

Peace,
God the Father is Enthroned,
May we meditate on God the Son,
May God the Holy Spirit guide our intellects.

Peace,
Lead me from falsehood to Truth
Lead me from darkness to Light
Lead me from death to Eternal Life
Peace, I come under the shelter of Jesus





These chants have been taken from the booklet “Christocentric Satsang" compiled by anil yesudas. “Christocentric Satsang” contains chants in Sanskrit, with translations in Hindi and English. These booklets are available through the website adhyathmavatika.orgFor the sake of our Nepali and Bhutanese friends, in this blog, I have added translations in Nepali.
