I feel tremendously comforted by this hymn, by the sound of the pure voices and by Jnaneshvar’s intention.
When I read this phrase, "may all beings live in harmony with one another," I sense the possibility within the womb of the words: that all creatures, people, animals, the elements, and the earth itself, live in a poetic and musical harmony. I dedicate my life to this possibility.

One of the most treasured memories from my time offering
seva at Shree Muktananda Ashram in the late 1980s was listening to this hymn. In the quiet early mornings before the recitation of
Sri Guru Gita, the Siddha Yoga musicians would sing
Pasayadan in the open-air Shakti Mandap hall. We were surrounded by lush nature, the soothing sounds of songbirds and the nearby creek. As I listened to
Pasayadan in silent reverence, I experienced the most palpable serenity engulfing the entire atmosphere, making it feel like heaven on earth. I was transported into a state of timelessness and tender devotion. Hearing it now brings again the feeling of sublime blessing.

Jnaneshvar’s commentary,
Jnaneshvari, which ends with this prayer, has always been a great source of inspiration for my
sadhana and my life as a whole. Listening to the
Pasayadan recording, I felt deep peace in my heart, and I will continue coming back to listen to it and sing it over and over again.

Pasayadan is one of the most touching prayers I have ever heard. Its sacredness, goodness, and blessings are transformative.

My heart and my whole being are uplifted by the beauty of this ancient prayer. When I envision fellow
sadhakas reciting this prayer for the benefit of our exquisite world, I am moved and heartened. I am grateful that the prayer and the translation are available on the Siddha Yoga path website.
