Salutation to the Guru's lotus feet
A garland of offerings and blessings is presented through sacred verses and invocations. The recitation honors divine forms and the supreme principle pervading all worlds. The guru is saluted as the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and liberation. Prayers for peace are extended to all realms, beings, and deities. A series of disciples from various places are then acknowledged, each receiving symbolic gifts including flowers, a shawl, and a dachshund. This concludes the ceremonial blessings.
"Dhyāna Mūlam, Guru Mūrti, Pūjā Mūlam, Guru Padam, Mantra Mūlam, Guru Vākya, Mokṣa Mūlam, Guru Kṛpā."
"Śānti rapāḥ śānti raukṣadyāhaṃ śānti vanaspataya śānti viśvedevāḥ śānti brahma śānti sarvaguṃ śānti śānti reva śānti sama śānti redhi."
