A prayer for the Newyear from Mundakopanishad.

Om!Bhandram karnobhi:Shurunyam deva bhandram pashyemakshabhiyarjthra|
Sthirau-rangosthusht vansathanubhivyarshomhee devhinta yadayu|
Swasith na Indro vridhshrava,
Swasith na Pusha vishwadeva|
Swasisth nasthaksharya aarishtanemi,
Swasith na Brihaspathi dradhunathu||
OM,shanthi:shanthi: shanthi||

Meaning...

Om! 'O' God! With our ears we may hear that which is auspicious,
With our eyes may we see that which is auspicious,
May we during our life allotted by the gods,be blessed with healthy limbs and body,
So that we may praise you.
May Indra of ancient fame be auspicious to us!
May Pusan and Viswadevas be propitious to us!
May Tarksya of unhampered movement be well disposed to us!
May Brihaspathi ensure our welfare!
Om! Peace,Peace,Peace!

This is the prayer taught by Sage Angiras to his disciple Shaunaka in the set of his instructions that constitute the Mundakopanishad.
