Bhojan Pooja (Before Eating):

 

अन्न ग्रहण करने से पहले

विचार मन मे करना है

किस हेतु से इस शरीर का

रक्षण पोषण करना है ।

हे परमेश्वर एक प्रार्थना

नित्य तुम्हारे चरणो मे

लग जाये तन मन धन मेरा

विश्व धर्म की सेवा मे ।।

Anna grahana karane se pahale

Vichaar man me karana hai

Kis hetu se is sharira ka

Rakshan poshan karana hai |

 

Hey parameshvara ek prarthana

Nitya tumhare charano me

Lag jaaye tan man dhan mera

Vishwa dharm ki seva me ||

Meaning:

Before eating food

The thought should be in our minds

As to why we should take care of our bodies

 

Dear God I pray to thee

Daily at your lotus feet

That I may dedicate my body, mind, and money

In service of this world

 

Bhojan Mantra (Before Eating): (audio1, audio2)

 

ब्रह्मार्पणं ब्रह्म हविः

ब्रह्माग्नौ ब्रह्मणा हुतम् ।

ब्रह्मैव तेन गन्तव्यं

ब्रह्मकर्म समाधिना ।।

Brahmaarpanam Brahma Havih

Brahmaagnau Brahmanaa Hutam |

Brahmaiva Tena Gantavyam

Meaning:

The items we use to feed ourselves are Brahman. The food itself is Brahman.

The fire of hunger we feel is Brahman.

We are Brahman and the process of eating and digesting the food is the action of Brahman. Finally, the result we obtain is Brahman.
