A traditional Vedic Sanskrit invocation which recognizes our common human bonds and calls for divine protection for us all. “May peace and peace and peace be everywhere.” This invocation appears as the introduction to several Vedic Upanishads and reminds us not to misunderstand one another. May it be a blessing to you. May we be nourished, May we be protected, May our study bring us great strength and enlightenment, May we never quarrel with one another. Om shantih, shantih, shantih.
