 May our prayers be one. May we belong to one brotherhood. May our hearts and minds move toward one supreme goal. May we be inspired by common ideals.


 3. samaanee va aakootih samaanaa hridayaani vah. 
     samaanamastu vo mano yathaa vah susahaasati.

 May our aspirations be harmonious. May our minds be in unison. May we strive to reduce disparity. May we be bound in strong fellowship and unity.
