Asatoma Ma Sadgamaya
tamaso ma jyotirgamaya
mrtyorma amrtam gamaya

(lead me from the asat to the sat
lead me from darkness to light
lead me from death to immortality)
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Lakhs of kids in Kendiriya Vidyalayas (Central Scools) sing this after the Ode-to-Knowledge (Daya kar daan, Vidya kaa..) in the daily Morning Assembly.

We knew the meaning (transaltion), but not the source of this.

I am glad that KVs have so far been free of controversies regarding the 'Hindu/Sanskritic' origin of the prayers, which for all purposes, are secular.
