Prayers chanted during the memorial service on Saturday, February 1st, 2003 at the Ganapathi Temple in Flushing, Queens.

Om sarve bhavantu sukhinah, sarve santu nira-maya-ah; sarve bhadrani pashyantu, ma-kaschit dukha-bhak bhavet. Om... shantih, shantih, shantih.

Oh Lord may all of mankind be happy, may all of mankind be healthy, may all of mankind experience prosperity; may none (in the world) suffer. Om... Peace, peace, peace.

Asato ma sad-gamaya; tamaso ma jyotir-gamaya; mrtyor ma amrutam gamaya. Om... shantih, shantih, shantih

Lead me from unreal to real; lead me from darkness to light; lead me from death to immortality. Om...peace, peace, peace
