O Gods! Let us hear auspicious words through our ears.
Let us see auspicious things through our eyes in the sacrifices.
Let us enjoy a life that is beneficial to Gods.
Let us praise the Gods with bodies having strong limbs.
Let Indra of
ancient fame be propitious to us.
May the all-knowing Pusha be auspicious to us.
Let Garuda, who destroys evils, be favorably
disposed towards us.
Let Brhaspati grant us welfare.
This Shanti (Peace) invocation appears in the Mundaka,
Mandukya and Prasna Upanishads.
This Peace Chant ends with the prayer for protection from the Tapatrayas (Threefold
miseries) in terms of Adhyatmika (Body, Mind), Adhi Bhautika (Animals,
other living Beings) and Adhi Daivika (Natural calamities like
Earthquake, Flood, Tsunami, etc.).
जय जय श्रीराधे
