The Closing Prayer or Mangala Mantra is an ancient chant from the Rg Veda that is traditionally recited at the end of ceremonies. Guruji has graciously taught us to recite it at the end of our yoga practice to connote offering the merits of our practice for the benefit of the world. This is akin to one of the proper reasons for practicing yoga as stated in the Bhagavad Gita 3.20: i.e. for helping to improve the state of the word. In other words, the effort to purify and uplift our own life as stated in the opening prayer, should be done altruistically for the benefit of uplifting and enriching the world.
