Heavenly Father, Mother, Friend, Beloved God, [Buddha, Maharaji, Ram Dass], Jesus Christ, Bhagavan Krishna, Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar, Guru-preceptor [Paramahansa Yogananda], and saints of all religions, I bow to you all.

[Please] free my life from all obstacles of delusion, and give me [health], material, mental, and spiritual development. Lead me from desires to contentment, from restlessness to peace, from ignorance to wisdom.

Heavenly Father, I will reason, I will will, I will act; but [please] guide my reason, will, and activity to the right thing that I should do in everything.

[Ram Ram. Om. Amen.]

This is the prayer I use daily while studying Kriya Yoga with Yogananda. Additions in square brackets are mine.
