3 Oaths of Siddha Yoga

1 . Siddham Sharanam Gachaami

Translation:
A Siddha is one who has attained self realization - the Supreme goal of life. Through this self realization comes power to bestow grace upon others. This grace works as a blessing. So for the meaningfulness of life and to receive the blessings of Siddha, I surrender at the feet of Siddhas humbly.

2. Sangham Sharanam Gachaami

Translation:
Today the world is heading towards destruction due to evils like jealousy and mutual conflicts. So it is of utmost importance to unite and become one and live lovingly. So whatever power I get at the feet of Siddhas, I will use it to unite mankind.

3. Svatmanam Sharanam Gachaami

Translation:
On getting the innate power of Siddhas would we become selfish ? we may feel greedy to lead ? In the presence of Guru we won't become a Guru ? one would not get tied to fulfillment of selfish pursuits ? This transient attraction may trap us, so we should always be happy in the self.
