ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः ।
तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि ।
धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥
Om Bhur Bhuvaḥ Swaḥ
Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ
Bhargo Devasya Dhīmahi
Dhiyo Yonaḥ Prachodayāt
We meditate on that most adored I AM, our Creator,
whose effulgence (divine light) illumines all realms (physical, mental and spiritual).
May this divine light illumine our understanding.
ब्रह्मार्पणं ब्रह्म हविर्ब्रह्माग्नौ ब्रह्मणा हुतम् |
ब्रह्मैव तेन गन्तव्यं ब्रह्मकर्मसमाधिना ||
brahmārpaṇaṁ brahma havir brahmāgnau brahmaṇā hutam
brahmaiva tena gantavyaṁ brahma-karma-samādhinā
For those who are completely absorbed in God-consciousness, the oblation is Brahman,
the ladle with which it is offered is Brahman, the act of offering is Brahman, and the
sacrificial fire is also Brahman. Such persons, who view everything as God, easily attain Him.

I bow to that Supreme Consciousness (Siva) As the Universal Divine resonance (OM)
That vibrates within my heart as hrim (Sakti)
To that (Consciousness), Who is my beloved teacher, I bow.

Jaya Jaya Karuna–abdhe Shri Mahadeva Shambho
Oh Lord, please forgive me for all the sins and mistakes committed by my hands, feet, speech, body,
through my deeds, by my ears, eyes and mind, knowingly and unknowingly.
O, Ocean of compassion, benevolence and forgiveness, I bow to You.
(fire in Tantrik tradition is associated with digestion, also eyes by which we see truth)
Into the Firepit of Lord Bhairava,
The Great Heart of the Absolute,
I now make my offering…
हुम् फट् हुम् फट् हुम् फट्
स्वाहा स्वाहा स्वाहा
HUM PHAT HUM PHAT HUM PHAT
SVĀHĀ SVĀHĀ SVĀHĀ
By means of Oblation the entirety of all existing things dissolve into the brilliant fire
of divine Consciousness. Then, all that remains is that Brilliance alone!
