Total Reverence · Nothing Held Back

नमः पुरस्तादथ पृष्ठतस्ते नमोऽस्तु ते सर्वत एव सर्व । अनन्तवीर्यामितविक्रमस्त्वं सर्वं समाप्नोषि ततोऽसि सर्वः ॥

namaḥ purastād atha pṛṣṭhatas te namo'stu te sarvata eva sarva, anantavīryāmitavikramas tvaṁ sarvaṁ samāpnoṣi tato'si sarvaḥ.

Meaning

"Salutations to You from the front and from behind; salutations to You from every side, O You who are all; of infinite power and immeasurable might, You pervade everything, and so You are everything."

Explanation

Complete reverence naturally reaches out in every direction, holding nothing back and leaving nothing unacknowledged.

Today's Life Lesson

Let today's gratitude be complete and wholehearted, not partial or held back.
