  Speaker 1: Compositions of Gurugobins sing Chow pie, O, God, give me
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: thy hand and protect me, and all my desires shall
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: be fulfilled. May my heart be ever attached to thy feet.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Deem me thine own and cherish me. Destroy all mine enemies,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: O Creator, May my family and all my servants and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: disciples live in peace. Destroy all mine enemies to day,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and all my hopes shall be fulfilled. May the thirst
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: for repeating Thy name abide with me. And may I
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: not forsaking THEE meditate on any one besides. May I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: obtain from THEE whatever boon I crave, Save my servants
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and my disciples. Single out mine enemies and smite them.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Remove from me the fear of the hour of death.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Be Thou always on my side, O Thou, with the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: sword on thy banner, Protect me, preserve me, O Thou, preserver,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: beloved Lord, protector of the saints, friend of the poor,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: destroyer of tyrants. Thou art Lord of the fourteen worlds.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: At the proper time, Brahma obtained a body at the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: proper time Shiv became incarnate, at the proper time Vishnu appeared.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: That was all the play of God. My obeisance to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: that God who made Shiv our Yogi, who made Brahma
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the king of the vEDS, and who fashioned all the world.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Know that he is my Guru, who made the whole world,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: who created demi, gods, demons, and Yakshah, who is the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: only God incarnate from beginning to end. My obeisance to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: him alone, who himself adorneth all his subjects, who bestow
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: with divine attributes and happiness on his servants, who destroyeth
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: their enemies in a moment, Who knoweth what is within
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: every heart and the sufferings of the good and bad.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: He is pleased as he casteth a look of favor
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: on all, from the ant to the huge elephant. He
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: is grieved when his saints are grieved, and happy when
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: his saints are happy. He knoweth everyone's sufferings and every
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: secret of man's heart. When the Creator projected himself, his
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: creatures assumed endless shapes. Whenever thou drawest creation within thyself,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: O Lord, all embodied beings are absorbed in thee. All
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: creatures endowed with speech, speak of THEE according to their understanding.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Apart from everything, the wise and the learned know the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: secret of this, Oh formless one. Thou art changeless and independent.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Thou art the primal one, stainless, without beginning self existent.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: The fool boasteth that he knoweth the secrets of Him,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: whose secrets are not known even to the vEDS. The
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: great fool suppose if that God is a stone, and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: knoweth not the difference between them, He ever calleth the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: eternal God sheaves, and knoweth not the secrets of the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: formless one. Men, according to their different understandings, give different
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: descriptions of thee, Oh God. Thine extension cannot be conceived,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: nor how thou dist first fashion creation. Thou hast but
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: one form, and that form is incomparable. Thou art in
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: different places a poor man, a lord, or a king.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Thou madest life from eggs, wounds and perspiration. And again
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: thou madest mine of vegetables. Sometimes thou sittest as a
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: monarch on the lotus flower, sometimes as a sheath. Thou
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: god therost up creation. Thou didst display the whole creation
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: as a miracle. Thou art the primal one. From the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: beginning of time, thy form was uncreated. Oh God, protect
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: me now, save those who are my disciples, and destroy
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: those who are not. The enemies who rise in rebellion,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and all infidels, destroy thou them in the battlefield. The
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: enemies of those who sought thy protection of God have
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: died in misery. Thou hast removed all the troubles of
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: those who fall at thy feet. Death shall never approach
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: those who even once meditate on the O God. They
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: shall be protected at all times, and their enemies and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: their troubles shall instantly vanish. Thou remove hist in an instant,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the sufferings of those whom Thou beholdest without look of favor.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: They possess in their homes all temporal and spiritual blessings,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and no enemies can touch even their shadows. Him who
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: even once remembereth thee Thou savest from the noos of death.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: He who repeateth thy name shall be free from poverty
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and the assaults of enemies. O Thou, with the sword
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: on thy banner, I seek thy protection. Give me thine
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: own hand and save me. Be thou everywhere my helper,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and save me from the designs of mine enemies. After
