Sanskrit Prayer to Mother Earth

Last May, my Sanskrit Class and our GreenFriends group put on a Sanskrit skit for Amma when she held a retreat in the Seattle area.

 

SKIT-For-Mac

We started the performance with a prayer to Mother Earth.  I love the words of the chant and thought I would share the translation with you.  Many Indian children chant this prayer before they get out of bed each morning, i.e. before their feet touch the floor.
