Ahoi hoi and happy Monday everyone! This weeks Monday mantra was inspired by the great Nelson Mandela.
We are here to love. I truly believe that. In that spirit, our mantra is the Shanti Mantra:
Shanti Mantra
Om Saha Naavavatu ohm sah-ha nah-vah-vah-too
Saha Nau Bhunaktu sah-ha nau boo-nahk-too
Saha Veeryam Karavaavahai sah-ha veer-yahm kah-rah-vah-vah-hai
Tejasvi Naavadheetamastu tei-jahs-vee nah-vah-dee-tah-mahs-too
Maa Vidvishaavahai Om mah vid-vi-shah-vah-hai ohm
Translation: May the Lord protect and bless us. May he nourish us, giving us strength to work together for the good of humanity. May our learning be brilliant and purposeful. May we never turn against one another.
This mantra is very close to my heart, as we chanted it before every class during my Kripalu teacher training. One recitation of of the mantra before you greet your day is a wonderful way to set the tone for things to come. Also right before bed, it is a wonderful reminder of our purpose here. If you'd rather listen, find a great video recording below.
Cheers!
