Each day, the Yogaville family gathers to pray together over their shared meals in the Sivananda Hall dining room. This is just one of the many ways that we connect with each other and strengthen the bonds of community. Over the years, many guests have asked if they could get a transcript of a recording of this daily prayer. We are happy to offer it here for you to listen and read along with in traditional Sanskrit and in the English translation. The translation is the one given to us by Sri Swami Satchidananda. We hope you enjoy this beautiful prayer offered to the infinite bounty of Mother Nature in your daily life, too.
