Sarvam Bhavantu Sukhinah- Prayer for Happiness/ Peace

Today I am just posting a short shloka which is meant to bring Peace/ Happniess for all. I have heard it often and really like it because of its 'all-inclusive' words, i.e.- it prays for the Whole Creation. Really Uplifts our Spirit when we try to go deep into these words! The shloka goes like this:


Sarve bhavantu sukhinah
Sarve santu niraamayaah

Sarve bhadraani pashyantu
Maakaschit duhkha bhaag bhavet


May all be happy! (sukhinah)
May all be free from disabilities! (niraamayaah)

May all look (pashyantu)to the good of others!
May none suffer from sorrow! (duhkha)

(As I don't know Sanskrit well enough, so searched for the shloka in the internet and found it online along with its English Translation. The credit for posting goes to the original person who posted it in- http://www.hinduism.co.za/index.html)



Om Shanti Shanti Shanti!
