My School Prayer (By Sri Ramakrishna Nanda In Odia) Poem by Prabhat Kumar Sahoo

O kind itinerant of the universe,
My submission may please be taken.
In water, plains, forest, hills, sky
Your act is ubiquitous.

You teach good morale
Guide me towards noble path
Make my works perfect
Add delight to my face.
I tender my head at your feet
Kindly empower me with courage.

I stand folding hands at a distance
From people with pretentious nature
Do not allow me to be with them
Give me vicinity of saint and savant
Kindness and sobriety may garnish me
Nobody be pained because of me.

To serve the people in need
My feet and hands be empowered
To speak the truth, why shall I fear
Rather opt to die for the same
No need for attachments with wealth & kins
This much of teaching kindly be imparted to me.

Sri Ramakrishna Nanda in odia) .
