- Recite/chant the mantra in the ‘Daata’s’ remembrance during morning and evening prayers:
Hindi: “मेरा प्यारा दाता, परमपिता, परम आत्मा, दिव्य-दृष्टि वरदाता, परम ज्ञान बरसाता”
Remember to say that from heart (spiritual intellect) in your language and let us know if you need proper translation in your language.
English: “’O’ my dear ‘Daata’, my Supreme Father and the Supreme Soul, you are the Bestower of Divine Sight and Supreme Knowledge.”
