AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Can you give me one universal prayer, a specific one, by The Mother or by  Sri Aurobindo, if possible by both, to be recited every day during my pooja time along with my usual prayer hymns? 😊🙏🏻🪷🔥[…]

Please definitely give me one, as there is an inner push to make a prayer. I want the prayer given to the world by The Divine Mother Herself or Sri Aurobindo Himself or by both of Themselves.

This mantra was written by Sri Aurobindo as well as the Mother: 

Om Anandamayi Chaitanyamayi Satyamayi Parame 

ॐ आनन्दमयि चैतन्यमयि सत्यमयि परमे

(Ref. https://incarnateword.in/compilations/life-as-a-prayer/prayers-and-mantras-given-by-sri-aurobindo)

In the night as in the day be always with me.

In sleep as in waking let me feel in me always the reality of your presence.

Let it sustain and make to grow in me Truth, consciousness and bliss constantly and at all times.

(Ref. https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/35/english-mantras)

The two prayers below are for the Earth and humanity: 

February 14, 1914

Peace, peace upon all the earth!

May all escape from the ordinary consciousness and be delivered from the attachment for material things; may they awake to the knowledge of Thy divine presence, unite themselves with Thy supreme consciousness and taste the plenitude of peace that springs from it.

Lord, Thou art the sovereign Master of our being. Thy law is our law, and with all our strength we aspire to identify our consciousness with Thy eternal consciousness, that we may accomplish Thy sublime work in each thing and at every moment.

Lord, deliver us from all care for contingencies, deliver us from the ordinary outlook on things. Grant that we may henceforth see only with Thy eyes and act only by Thy will. Transform us into living torches of Thy divine love.

With reverence, with devotion, in a joyful consecration of my whole being I give myself, O Lord, to the fulfilment of Thy law.

Peace, peace upon all the earth!

February 5, 1913

Thy voice is heard as a melodious chant in the stillness of my heart, and is translated in my head by words which are inadequate and yet replete with Thee. And these words are addressed to the Earth and say to her:—Poor sorrowful Earth, remember that I am present in thee and lose not hope; each effort, each grief, each joy and each pang, each call of thy heart, each aspiration of thy soul, each renewal of thy seasons, all, all without exception, what seems to thee sorrowful and what seems to thee joyous, what seems to thee ugly and what seems to thee beautiful, all infallibly lead thee towards me, who am endless Peace, shadowless Light, perfect Harmony, Certitude, Rest and Supreme Blessedness.

Hearken, O Earth, to the sublime voice that arises,
Hearken and take new courage!

(Ref. https://incarnateword.in/cwm/01/february-5-1913)
