Full Translation
A classic Vedic shanti (peace) mantra that extends its blessing not to oneself or one's own group, but to all beings without exception. In four parallel lines it prays for the well-being, peace, wholeness, and auspiciousness of everyone, closing with the threefold invocation of peace — Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
Spiritual Significance
The mantra trains the heart in universal goodwill (maitri): the wish that every being, everywhere, flourish. Chanting it dissolves the boundary between "us" and "them," cultivating an all-embracing compassion that asks for nothing for the self that it does not also ask for all.
