Mahaa Naarayan Upanishad

Prayer to Water
All that is found in this world has origin in water, whatever is manifest as universe is water, water is the life-breath in us , all living beings are manifested in water, food is emanating from water, water is ambrosia (nectar), water forms the Ved (Chhand), water is the energy found in light, water is the Yajus, water is the truth, all gods are manifested in water -- Om, I invoke water in the three worlds bhoo, bhuva and swah... Om I prostrate before the God with copious hair, Keshav, the Krishn.
This is the Prayer to water at the time of Upaasanaa to Sandhyaa. It is Shlok 29 of Mahaa Naaraayan Upanishad, an Upanishad attached to the Shaakhaa of Krishn Yajur Ved along with Taittareeya Upanishad. It is also rendered as the fourth Prashn of Taittareey Upanishd after the Shikshaa  Vallee, Brahmaanand Vallee, and Bhrigu Vallee. The prayer "Om Shree Keshavaaya Namah is not found in the Upanishad. it is only a Shishtaachaar since Krishn is the protector of the Universe.
