- Purify My Being by Copperwoman
Purify my being, prepare me to serve
I open my channel, let your energy through
Wrap me in a cloak of protection
Fill me with love head to toe
Remind me of our connection
Be with us as we grow
I am protected, I am shielded
I ground with Mother Earth
I am protected, I am shielded
I ground with Mother Earth

- Dawn Chants for Yoga & Meditation by Sri Sankaracharya
Pratah Smarami Hridi Samspurat Atma Tattwam
Sat-Chid-Sukham Paramahamsa Gatim Turiyam
Yat Swapna Jagara Sushuptam Avaiti Nityam
Tad Brahma Nishkalam Aham, Na Cha Bhuta Sangha
At dawn, I meditate in my heart on the truth of the radiant Inner Self,
That is Pure Being, Awareness, and Joy,
The Transcendent Goal of the great sages,
The Eternal Witness of the waking, dream and deep sleep states.
I am that undivided Spirit, and not a collection of material elements.
Pratah Bhajami Manaso Vachasam Agamyam
Vacho Vibhanti Nikhila Yad Anugrahena
Ya Neti Neti Vachanai Nigama Avochuh
Tam Deva Devam Ajam Achutam Ahuragryam
At dawn, I worship that which is beyond the reach of mind and speech,
By whose grace, speech is even made possible,
That is described in the scriptures as “Not this, Not this,”
The unborn, undying God of Gods, the Supreme.
Pratah Namami Tamasa Param Arkavarnam
Purnam Sanatana Padam Purushottam Achyam
Yasminnidam Jagad Ashesha Ashesha Murtau
Rajuam Bhujangama Iva Pratibhatitam Vai
At dawn, I salute that which is beyond all darkness, brilliant as the sun,
The infinite, eternal reality, the Highest Soul,
On whom this whole universe of infinite forms
Is super-imposed, like a snake on a rope, indeed.
Devi Stotram from Devi Mahatmyam
Ya Devi Sarva Bhuteshu…Shanti Rupena Samsthita (or Shakti, Kanti, Jnana Rupena)
Namastasye Namastasye…. Namo Namah…
Oh Goddess (Eternal Mother) dwelling within all living beings in the form of peace, power, modesty and wisdom…Salutations to you, Salutations…
