Yoga Practice - review1

I have been posting the article on yoga for all. I would like to share my personal experience in this blog.
Inially i have started to practice yoga by reading books and internet articles. But i could not practice regularly.
So, i decided to practicing yoga by a yoga teacher. by god's blessings, i took a 10 days training with an experienced trainer (crossing 80 years).
Now i used to practice yoga daily.
In this regard, i would like to share my experience from today's post onwards.

UNIVERSAL PRAYER

UNIVERSAL PRAYER

O! Adorable Lord of mercy and love
Salutations and prostrations unto Thee
Thou art Satchidananda
Thou art Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient
Thou art the in-dweller of all beings
Grant us an understanding heart
equal vision, balanced mind
Faith, Devotion and Wisdom
Grant us inner spiritual strength
To resist temptations and to control the mind
Free us from egoism, lust, greed, anger,
hatred, and jealousy
Fill our hearts with divine virtues
Let us behold Thee in all these names and forms
Let us serve Thee in all these names and forms
Let us ever remember Thee
Let us ever sing Thy glories
Let Thy name be ever on our lips
Let us be abide in Thee for ever and ever
-Sri Swami Sivananda

From completeness, completeness comes forth.
Completeness from completeness taken away
Completeness to completeness added,
Completeness alone remains.
