Chitha shudhi.

 “सदा तव पादारविन्दे स्मरामि।”

Keep me simple in heart,

Sincere in thought,

And graceful in deed.

Let me walk with You always—

In silence, in speech, in service,

Breath by breath, moment by moment.

May my life be a gentle offering

At Your holy feet.

हे भगवन् ।

हृदि सरलतां देहि,

चित्ते सत्यतां देहि,

कर्मणि माधुर्यं देहि ।

त्वया सह सर्वदा सञ्चरामि—

मौनम्, वचनम्, सेवा च।

प्रत्येकश्वासे, प्रत्येकक्षणे ।

मम जीवनम् भवतु

तव पादयोः समर्पणम् ॥

To be simple, sincere, and graceful is really the essence of staying close to the Lord always:

Simple – keeping the heart uncluttered, free from pride, complications, or unnecessary pretenses.

Sincere – letting devotion flow naturally, whether in prayer, service, or daily actions, without show or expectation.

Graceful – allowing the Lord’s presence to reflect in our words, conduct, and compassion, making life itself a gentle offering.

Such a life becomes a constant companionship with the Divine, not just in temples or rituals, but in every moment—breath by breath.
