The Universal Prayer of Sri Swami Chandra Udasin

O Lord, Thou art absolute Existence, absolute Awareness,
absolute Bliss, absolute Power, absolute Light,
absolute Life and absolute Love.

People call Thee by different names.
They call Thee Om, Ishwara, Krishna, Christ, Hari, Rama,
Allah, Buddah, Mahavira, Shiva, Adonai,
Waheguru, Indra, Mother Bhagawati, and so on and so forth.

A rose called by any other name still remains a rose.
Though called by different people by different names,
Thou art, O Lord, I am sure, One and the same Supreme Being,
the One without a second.

My thousand thousand salutations unto Thee!

—Sri Chandra Swami Udasin
