Prayer for Peace

Oṃ dyauḥ śāntir antarikṣaṃ śāntiḥ

Pṛthivī śāntir āpaḥ śāntir oṣadhayaḥ śāntiḥ

Vanaspatayaḥ śāntir viśvedevāḥ śāntir brahma śāntiḥ

Sarvaṃ śāntiḥ śāntir eva śāntiḥ sā mā śāntir edhi

Oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ

— Shukla Yajurveda 36:17

Om. May peace radiate throughout the vast sky and the ether everywhere.

May peace reign all over this earth--in water, herbs, trees and creepers.

May peace flow throughout the universe and pervade it entirely.

And may all creatures exist in peace and peace alone.

Om. Peace, peace, peace.
