Om, may the Lord protect us both (guru and disciple), may he cause us to enjoy (the supreme), May we exert together. May our studies be through and faithfull (to become brilliant). May we never quarrel/hate each other.

O Lord Ganesha possessing a large body(mahakaya) curved trunk (vakratunda), with the brilliance of a million suns (surya koti), please make all my work free of obstacles—always.

Mother who subsists as all three Kalas (Lapses of time: past, present and future), in all three Lokas (worlds or realms of experience), and all three Gunas (Universal Attributes: harmony, agitation and inertial), I pray to you to illuminate my intellect and dispel my ignorance, just as the splendorous sunlight dispels all darkness. I pray to you to make my intellect serene and bright.

May that Goddess Saraswati who is bedecked with white kunda flowers, who has worn pure white clothes resembling snow and moon, who is holding a veena as her danda or instrument to draw the attention of her devotees/students, who is sitting on a white lotus and one who is worshipped at all times by Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, may she remove my laziness and ignorance. My salutations to such a Goddess of knowledge.

The teacher is like Lord Brahma as he Generates the knowledge within us, like Lord Vishnu as he Operates the ideas/knowledge in our mind unto the right path and like Lord Mahesha (Shiva) as he Destroys the wrong concepts attached to our knowledge, while enlightening us on the desired path. Thus the teacher is like our ultimate God and we should pray and give respect to our teacher.
Asato Maa Sad Gamaya

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
Tamaso Maa Jyotir Gamaya

Oh Lord, lead me from untruth to truth, from darkness to light, from death to immortality.
Peace, Peace Peace.
