OPENING MANTRA

      Ashtanga Yoga Opening Mantra - Ashtanga Brighton
वन्दे गुरूणां चरणारविन्दे संदर्शितस्वात्मसुखावबोधे ।
निःश्रेयसे जाङ्गलिकायमाणे संसारहालाहलमोहशान्त्यै ॥
आबाहुपुरुषाकारं शङ्खचक्रासिधारिणम् ।
सहस्रशिरसं श्वेतं प्रणमामि पतञ्जलिम् ॥

Vande gurūṇāṁ ćaraṇāravinde

Sandarśita svātma sukhāvabodhe

Nihśreyase jāngalikāyamāne

Saṁsāra hālāhala mohaśāntyai

Ābāhu puruṣākāraṁ

Śankhaćakrāsi dhāriṇam

Sahasraśirasaṁ śvetaṁ

Praṇamāmi Patanjaliṁ

I bow to the lotus feet of the Teachers
Who awaken the happiness of knowing the Essence of Self
Who act as incomparable healers
Freeing us from the poison of illusion that conditions life in the cycle of incarnations
Realizing the potential of the human being
Holding the conch, disc, and sword
Radiating white light from the crown chakra
I bow to Patanjali
