Om Dyauh Shanti

The shanti mantra Om Dyauh Shanti is a prayer for universal peace that is found in the Yajur Veda. During Gurumayi’s Birthday Satsang 2019, this mantra was recited as part of an offering of blessings for peace in the world.

Implicit in this shanti mantra is the understanding that peace in the outer world and peace within our own being are connected: each supports the other. When we recite the sacred syllables of Om Dyauh Shanti, we give voice to our benevolent intention that peace pervade all of creation and ask that we experience the same peace within ourselves.

    When I chant the shanti mantras, I feel as if I’m swinging a clapper that makes the bell of my heart resound, and thus spreads the crystalline sound of peace in the universe.

    After attending a climate emergency rally, I sat in my car and listened to the om dyauh shanti mantra. As I was reading along with it, a gentle rain suddenly started to fall. As the recitation finished, the rain tapered off and stopped. It was a magical moment for me of feeling the connection between my prayers and the divine ear.

    This is such an intoxicating mantra! I enjoy chanting it 11 times as I enter meditation, visualizing peace saturating the world with conscious particles of light. This practice buoys me with positive energy as I serve my community.

    I love listening to this mantra each morning and evening. As I listen, my mind suddenly becomes quiet, no thoughts arise in it anymore, and I experience a great feeling of peace.
     
    I am so grateful to Gurumayi for giving me this wonderful way to overcome worldly noises and conflicts.
