Happy Holidays ....And The Most Beautiful Prayer

ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः

सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः 

सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु

मा कश्चिद् दुःख भाग्भवेत् ।

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

Om....
Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah
Sarve Santu Niraamaya
Sarve Bhadraani Pashyantu
Maa Kashchid-Dukh Bhaag Bhavait
Om Shanti - Shanti  - Shantihi


Meaning:
 OM…..

 May All be Happy and prosperous.

 May All be Free from disease, illness and ailments.

 May All See Goodness everywhere and in everyone

 May no one Suffer in anyway or be miserable.

 OM…….

 Peace - Peace - Peace

This is a true humanitarian prayer… nay – true spiritual prayer. 

It’s neither asking for the welfare of one’s own self, nor for one’s own family & community - or for the people from same religion or country. It’s a prayer for All – for the whole world. 

Moreover, asking for All to see Goodness everywhere. 

Not only in people, but in Nature as well … in everything- that is all living and non-living beings. 

Wondering why Peace is repeated three times?

There can be many different answers.

Here are three:

Peace with our self – people – and Surroundings.

Peace with our Past, Present, and Future.

Peace with our body, mind, and spirit. 

May there be happiness, prosperity and peace everywhere.

Not only during this holiday season,

but always.
