A prayer

What is your mission?

ॐ  सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः
सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः ।
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु
मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत् ।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥
Om Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah
Sarve Santu Niraamayaah |
Sarve Bhadraanni Pashyantu
Maa Kashcid-Duhkha-Bhaag-Bhavet |
Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih ||

Meaning:
1: Om, May All be Happy,
2: May All be Free from Illness.
3: May All See what is Auspicious,
4: May no one Suffer.
5: Om Peace, Peace, Peace.

I just remembered this prayer we chant. I do not have any mission but a prayer does go a long way. This is from Brihadaranyaka Upanishad.

The Upanishads are the Vedantas or the Uttara mimaamsa and they usually do not have any rituals attached to it. It is just meta physics. Maybe one day I may open up these and learn something.

  1. Maybe one day… Everyone just understand the logic behind it and starts their walk towards peace and we live in a different world altogether… may be!!! Beautifully shared Ganga 🌷

    A prayer like that is a mission in itself—timeless.
    Maybe remembering it is already the beginning of learning.
    Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih🙏🙏🙏
