Shanti Mantra

 Significance

A Shanti Mntra is a prayer or chant for peace, often recited before and after Hindu religious rituals or ceremonies. The word 'Shanti' comes from Sanskrit which means peace and the word 'mantra' means prayer or song of praise, often recited repeatedly. There are various 'Shanti Mantras' mentioned in Hindu holy books known as 'Upanishads'. Shanti mantra is chanted to calm the mind of the reciter and the nature around him. Traditionally, a Shanti mantra ends with three recitations of "Shanti", which is believed to remove obstacles and calm the three reals: Physical, Divine, and Internal.
