Hare Krishna, Prabhujis and matajis!
Please accept my humble obeisances!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I do a translation of the following verse of Katha Upanisad,I give it for necessary correction and comment.
Katha Upanisad
Starting prayer:
om saho navavatu,
saho nau vhunuktu,
saho virjyam krvavai,
tajasyi nabadhitamastu,
ma bidvisabahai
om santi santi santi
Synonym
Om- O Lord Krishna please,Saho- together,Nau- Both of us,Avatu- protect
Saho- together,nau- Both of us,vhunuktu- fulfill,Saho- together,virjyam-strength
krvavai- get,tajasyi- become powerful,nabadhitamastu - our learning,ma - we shall not,
bidvisabahai - become selfish
Om Santi Santi Santi - O lord Krishna, by only taking shelter of your holy name, we can succeed in overcoming all the three types of miseries of this mundane world.
Translation
Oh Lord! please protect us,please fulfill our spiritual desires and our learning helps us in attaining you and give us the boon that we shall not become selfish also.Oh Lord! We take shelter in your lotus feet by which we can overcome all kinds of worldly miseries.
Purport
'om' is the vedic nomenclature of the supreme personality of Godhead Krishna and here the Upanisad indirectly says that without taking shelter of Him,we can not understand Him and finally the Upanisad gives us the boon of attaining the supreme bliss which is the transcendental love for the Supreme personality of Godhead Krishna.
Hari Bol!
Dandavat Pranam!
