Ashtakam Sanskrit
शरीरं सुरूपं तथा वा कलत्रं यशश्चारु चित्रं धनं मेरुतुल्यम्।
मनश्चेन्न लग्नं गुरोरङ्घ्रिपद्मे ततः किं ततः किं ततः किं ततः किम्॥
Transliteration
Śarīraṃ surūpaṃ tathā vā kalatraṃ yaśaś cāru citraṃ dhanaṃ merutulyam,
Manaś cen na lagnaṃ guroraṅghri padme tataḥ kiṃ tataḥ kiṃ tataḥ kiṃ tataḥ kim.
Meaning
For Spiritual Growth, Inner Peace and Divine Connection. Even if one has beauty, a good spouse, fame, wealth as great as Mount Meru — if the mind is not fixed at the lotus feet of the Guru, what is the use?
