The Shanti Mantra

In my lastest Business Communication class, all of my classmates had an extensive discussion with T Prasad sir about "The Shanti Mantra".

The word Shanti means peace and mantra means a word or sound repeated to aid concentration.

Shanti Mantra is composed in 'Vedic Sanskrit' language and it is :

ॐ सह नाववतु |

सह नौ भुनक्तु |

सह वीर्यं करवावहै |

तेजस्विनावधीतमस्तु मा विद्विषावहै॥

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

Meaning:

Om! May God protect and nourish us both together(student and teacher),

May we work conjointly with great energy, May our study be vigorous and effective,

May we not mutually dispute.

Om! Let there be peace in me!

Let there be peace in my environment!

Let there be peace in the forces that act on me.

Shanti mantra helps to achieve peace. Rather than having self-centered goals, we are praying for the collective good. We pray for the growth of all components of society.

Shanti Mantra is motivating to adopt the concept of 'Unity in diversity' while making development.
