  Let us all join our hands, heads and hearts together and bow to all 
perfect and liberated souls, and to all spiritual teachers.
  Let us pray that all elected representatives of the people of this 
Nation be guided in their thoughts, words and actions to achieve the 
greatest good for all.
  Let them have a high sense of responsibility and be free from 
temptations of selfish interests. Let them be filled with knowledge and 
wisdom so that resolutions adopted and laws enacted may meet the 
standards of the good of our people.
  May the blessings be on our country, our government, our elected 
leaders in this House of Congress, and on all living beings of the 
world.
  May the entire universe attain bliss. May all beings be interested in 
one another's well being. May all faults be eliminated. May people be 
happy everywhere.
  Om Shanti! Shanti! Shanti!
