Brahma Arpanam

"This chant from the Bhagavad Gita (4:24) that is traditionally chanted before eating as a means of reflecting on the inter-related nature of all things." - Yoga Workshop

Brahmarpanam Brahma Havir
Brahmagnau Brahmana Hutam
Brahmaiva Tena Gantavyam
Brahmakarmasamadhina

Om

Brahman is the Offering, Brahman is the Oblation,
Poured out by Brahman into the fire of Brahman,
Brahman is to be attained by one,
Who contemplates the action of Brahman.
