Homage to the Guru

ध्यानमूलं गुरुर्मूर्ति पूजामूलं गुरुर्पदम्।
मन्त्रमूलं गुरुर्वाक्यं मोक्षमूलं गुरुर्कृपा॥
तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः॥

dhyānamūlaṁ gururmūrti pūjāmūlaṁ gururpadam
mantramūlaṁ gururvākyaṁ mokṣamūlaṁ gururkṛpā
tasmai śrī gurave namaḥ

May the basis my meditation be the Guru's image,
May the basis my worship be the Guru's holy feet.
May the basis of my mantra be the Guru's word,
May the basis of my moksha be the Guru's grace.
To such a Guru, I offer salutations.
