Gratitude Prayer for Mealtime

I am thankful to my Source from where it all originates.
I am grateful for the abundant food before me
I am grateful for all the humans and little beings
   that helped in its creation and manifestation.
I am thankful to the plants, trees and animals that offer it
   generously from their own abundance.

May the life and light inside this food be consumed
   in the flame within me to serve the higher good of all.
And to raise this food to a higher vibration/place
   through the creativity and love
which unfolds through my love and service
   to the universe and all of creation.

                              ~ Rowan

The Beautiful Gayatri Mantra

Deva Premal and Miten sing this beautifully sacred mantra and to me it really raises my vibration significantly every time I listen to it...stunningly beautiful:

Deva Premal and Miten - Gayatri Mantra on YouTube

Here are the Lyrics from the album Essence:

GAYATRI MANTRA

Om bhur bhuvaha svaha

Tat savitur varenyam

Bhargo devasya dhimahi

Dhiyo yonah prachodayat

and the meaning:
Praise to the source of all things.
It is due to you that we attain
true happiness on the planes
of earth, astral, casual.
It is due to your transcendent
nature that you are worthy of
being worshipped and adored.
Ignite us with your all
pervading light.

The Lord's Prayer directly from Aramaic

The Lord's Prayer directly from Aramaic is really beautiful

(Translation directly from ancient Aramaic to English instead of the most familiar translation from Aramaic to Greek to Latin to English.)

Abwûn
O cosmic Birther, from whom the breath of life comes,

d'bwaschmâja
who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration.

Nethkâdasch schmach
May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest.

Têtê malkuthach.
Your Heavenly Domain approaches.

Nehwê tzevjânach aikâna d'bwaschmâja af b'arha.
Let Your will come true in the universe (all that vibrates) just as on earth (that is material and dense).

Hawvlân lachma d'sûnkanân jaomâna. Give us wisdom (understanding, assistance) for our daily need,

Waschboklân chaubên wachtahên aikâna daf chnân schwoken l'chaijabên. detach the fetters of faults that bind us, (karma) like we let go the guilt of others.

Wela tachlân l'nesjuna 
Let us not be lost in superficial things (materialism, common temptations),

ela patzân min bischa. 
but let us be freed from that what keeps us off from our true purpose.

Metol dilachie malkutha wahaila wateschbuchta l'ahlâm almîn. 
From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act, the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age.

Amên.
Sealed in trust, faith and truth. (I confirm with my entire being) Amen.
