Yogi Bhajan has given us the secrets to entering the vast mystic space of the gong. Before playing the gong we offer a prayer. With reverence, through the Naad of the mantra–the harmony of the mind within the waves of sound, in the humility of our devotion, we ask to be allowed to enter into the Aad—the infinite space.

(Translation)
I bow to the primal wisdom
I bow to the wisdom of the ages
I bow to the true wisdom
I bow to the great Divine wisdom
I bow to the subtle divine wisdom, the divine teacher within
