Sangacchadhvam

 Sangacchadhvam (Isha Basya) from the Rig Veda. X. 191.

(Adapted from translation of the Convent Vedanta Society of Northern California and from Nehal Raval’s Aradhana)

san gacchadhvam sam vadadhvam sam vo manamsi janatam/

deva bhagam yatha purve sanjanana upasate//

Come together! Speak together! Let our minds be all of one accord as the gods of old sat together in harmony to worship.

samano mantra: samiti: samani samanam mana: saha cittamesam/

samanam mantramabhi mantraye va: samanena vo havisa juhomi//

Let our speech be one; united our voices! May our minds be in union with the thoughts of the Wise.

Sharing a common purpose; we worship as one.

samani va akuti: samana hrdayani vah/

samanamastu vo mano yatha va: susahasati//

Let our aim be one and single! Let our hearts be joined as one. United be our thoughts.

At peace with all, may we be together in harmony.
