గురుశిష్యపరమ్పరా

Salutation to the lineage starting with lord Sadasiva, with Adi Sankara in the middle and continuing up to my immediate teacher.

I bow at the feet of the Lord in the form of Sri Sankarācārya, who is the blessing for the humanity, who is the shrine for the śruti, the smrti and the purana, and, who is the abode of compassion.

Salutations again and again to Lord Siva in the form of Śrī Śankarācārya and Lord Vişnu in the form of Veda Vyasa (badarāyana), who were the authors of sutra and bhāṣya.

I salute, Shri Chinmaya, the noble teacher, the best of the knowers of Brahman (the highest Reality), and who full of compassion, is ever engaged in the welfare of all people.

I bow to Govinda, the supremely blissful Sadguru, who is known through all Vedantic conclusions yet beyond the reach of the senses.
