Laying of the Foundation Stone
1965, Jamalpur

After collective Iishvara Prańidhána, the seniormost person will recite the following mantra while laying the stone or brick:

Ayamárambhah shubháya bhavatu.

[May this beginning be auspicious.]

Thereafter all will recite together: “May today’s laying of the foundation stone be auspicious in all respects. May this stone be a source of bliss to the neighbours, may the neighbours be a source of bliss to this stone. May we soon construct the house on this stone. Oṋḿ shántih, oṋḿ shántih, oṋḿ shántih.”
