Yes, I think I can help
At a local annual Hindu youth meeting in my area (West Midlands, 
England), we were all taught the following mantra:

OM brahmaa panam
Bhahma havihii
Brahmanau
Brahmanaa hutam
Brahmaiva tena gantavyam
Brahma karna samaadhinaa
Harihi Om
Shri gurubhyo namahaa
Harihi Om.

I am not entirely sure of the meaning, but I remembr vaguely someone 
saying that it meant that Brahma (the creator) is the cook, the server 
of food and the eater of the food. If someone knows a more accurate meaning, I 
would be happy to learn.

Anyway, I hope I have been of help to Greg.
