जन गण मन अधिनायक जय हे।
भारत भाग्य विधाता।
पंजाब सिंध गुजरात मराठा।
द्राविड़ उत्कल बंग।।
विंध्य हिमाचल यमुना गंगा।
उच्छल जलधि तरंग।।
तव शुभ नामे जागे,
तव शुभ आशिश मांगे।
गाहे तव जय गाथा।।
जन गण मंगलदायक जय हे।
भारत भाग्य विधाता।।
जय हे ! जय हे ! जय हे !
जय, जय, जय, जय हे।।

O God, who are Truth and the Origin of all knowledge
bless our studies which we consecrate to you.
Enlighten our minds, strengthen our memories and
direct our wills towards what is right, and save us
from all dangers, grant us to seek the truth always
and make us truly wise.
O my God, I thank you, for all the help you have
given me today. I ask you to forgive my faults, I
promise never to offend you again.
O my God, I believe in Thee, because Thou art Truth itself, strengthen my faith.
I hope in Thee, because Thou art infinitely powerful, merciful and faithful, increase
my hope.
o my God, I love Thee above all things because Thou art infinitely good and perfect,
teach me to love Thee daily more and more.
Come Holy Spirit' of God, take possession of our hearts and fill us with your love.
Grant the fullness of Thy gifts and make us fruitful in all our works.
O my God, I present myself before Thee at the end of my studies today. I offer Thee
the homage of my heart for all thy blessings and favour.
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come, Your will
be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us today our daily bread, forgive us
our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Do not bring us to the test, but
deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Lord make me an instrument of your peace!
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon,
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;'
Where there is darkness, light and
Where there is sadness, joy
o Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand; to be loved as to love, for it is in giving
that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that
we are born to Eternal life. Amen.
