Mantras to be Chanted before doing Pranayama

To start the Pranayama position your hands in any one of the seven mudra and recite the following mantra:

Om bhur bhava sawah tatsviturvarenyam bhargo devasaye dhimahi dhiyo yo na prachodyayta. 

 ॐ भूर्भुव: स्व: तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं । भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि, धीयो यो न: प्रचोदयात् । 

 Om Tryambakam yajamahe Sugandham Pushti vardhanam uruva rukumiva bandhanath mruthyor muksheeya mamruthhaath. 

 ॐ त्रियम्बकं यजामहे, सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनं, उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मोक्षिय मामृतात्

 Om sahnavavtu sah nau bhunaktu Sah viryam karvavahe tejasvinavadhitamastu ma vidvishavahe. 

 ऊं सहना ववतु सहनौ भुनक्तु सहविर्यम् करवावहे तेजस्विना वधीतम् अस्तु मा विद विशावहै 

 Om asto masadgamaye tamso ma jyotirgmaye matyortama amritamgaye. 

 असतो मा सद् गमय तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय 

 Om shanti, Om shanti, Om shanti 

 ॐ शान्ति: शान्ति: शान्ति:
