Om Śrīparamātmane namah Om Śrī Ganeśāya namah Om Srī Gurudevāya Namah

     

vande śrī—mastarāma brahma—svarūpa vareya gagātīre himādrau svānandalīna dayālum vairāgyāt tyāgamūrti premāspada bhāva—gamya mukti—dvāra mumukor bhakta—prabhu me śarayam

I postrate before Para—brahma—svarūpa, Bhagavān  Mastarāma Bābājī Mahārāja,who is worthy of being wished for. I postrate before the compassionate, who have submerged in his own bliss, who dwells in the Himalayas, at the banks of the Ganges. The lack of desire converts him into the personification of renunciation. I postrate before him, the abode of love, who is reachable through love. I bow before him, who is the door for liberation for the seekers, and the Lord of the devotees.

 

 

brahma—dhyāne sthitiste veśo 'vadhūto 'sti ramya brāhmī prāpya sthiti nitya samādhau nimagna kāruya—prema—gāthā smtvā tvadīyā suśiśyā brahmānanda guru tvā nitya namāmo namaste

 

 

Oh guru Brahmananda! You are situated in the meditation of the Supreme Lord and your form is  of a renounced and attractive person. By attaining this state of meditation on the Supreme Lord you are always deeply lost in the state of Samadhi. Remembering the story of your goodness and love, we, your disciples, postrate before you, our salutations to you.

 

I dedicate this work with all my respect, gratitude and love to His Divine Grace Bhagavan Mastarāma Bābājī Mahārāja and his beloved disciple, my eternal spiritual master, His Divine Grace Bābā Brahmānanda Mahārāja.

 

I would also like to offer my respect to all my venerated siksha gurus or instructing spiritual masters, who, through their valuable practical teachings, have left their eternal marks in my soul in the different aspects of Sanatana Dharma:
