Om Beloved Mother Nature. You are here on our table as our food. You are endlessly bountiful, benefactress of all.
Please grant us health and strength, wisdom and dispassion, to find permanent peace and joy and to share that peace and joy with one and all.
Mother Nature is my mother.
My father is the Lord of all.
The whole creation is my family.
The entire universe is my home.
I offer this unto OM, that truth which is universal.
May the entire world be filled with peace and joy, love and light.
May the light of truth overcome all darkness.
Victory to that light.

A tribute in music and verse to Yoga master Swami Satchidananda. Produced by Lakshmi Harilela, a longtime student and devotee of Swamiji. Lyrics below:
In the stillness of the dawn, his wisdom shines so bright,
Guiding us with love, like stars in darkest night.
Sri Swami Satchidananda, gentle, wise, and true,
Showed the path of Yoga, in everything we do.
*Chorus*
Oh, Master of the heart, you taught us how to see,
Beyond the restless mind, to true serenity.
With kindness as our guide and wisdom as our light,
You showed us Yoga’s way—pure love, eternal sight.
*Verse 2*
“Conquer the mind,” you said, “be free from fear and pain,”
Through breath and sacred sound, find peace within again.
A bridge of harmony, you built for all mankind,
Uniting East and West, in spirit, heart, and mind.
*Chorus*
Oh, Master of the heart, you taught us how to see,
Beyond the restless mind, to true serenity.
With kindness as our guide and wisdom as our light,
You showed us Yoga’s way—pure love, eternal sight.
*Bridge*
Hari Om, the chant resounds, in every soul you touched,
Your legacy of grace, it heals us all so much.
The gift of true Yoga, not just the asana’s flow,
But living every moment in the light you’ve shown.
*Outro*
So we walk this path with gratitude and grace,
Honoring your name in every time and space.
Sri Swami Satchidananda, your light will never fade,
In our hearts, your love lives on—the peace you’ve made.
