Hour of Agni

Where the fiery river flows

Coursing through the age of man

I see the banks of ignorance

Ablaze with God's celestial plan,

Flame through our falsehood and piety.

Raze our structured greed, desire,

Conflagrate, consume our hate

Purify us with the cleansing fire,

Fan the spark of the hidden soul

To grow and rise ever higher,

Help us to cast impurities forth

To fuel the blaze of the sacred pyre.

May the incense of our prayers rise up

From the ashes of our separateness,

Forge the link of self with Self,

From ego's rule to selflessness.
