Asthanga Intro Class Mantra
This mantra is always chanted at the beginning of the practice.
Vande gurunam caranaravinde
sandarsita swatma suhkava bodhe
nih sreyase jangalikayamane
samsara halahala mohasantyai.
abahu purusakaram sankhacakrasi
dharinam
sahasra sirasam svetam pranamami
patanjalim.
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.
OM
Mangala Mantra

Svastiprajabhyah paripalayantam
May all be well with mankind.
May leaders of the earth protect in every way by keeping to the right path.
May there be goodness for those who know the earth to be sacred.
May all the words be happy
