May peace radiate there in the whole sky as well as in the vast ethereal space everywhere.
May peace reign all over this earth, in water and in all herbs, trees and creepers.
May peace flow over the whole universe.
May peace be in the Supreme Being Brahman.
And may there always exist in all peace and peace alone.
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti to us and all beings!
Model Prison Project and AuroBharati, Sri Aurobindo Society organized SPARSH (Towards Progress & Self-Perfection), an interactive session with the Children of Prison inmates whom Sri Aurobindo Society adopted for Education and Skill Development on 3rd July, 2022. During this occasion, a session on ‘Chanting of the Sacred Mantras, Consciousness and Self-development’ was conducted by Dr. Kishor Kumar Tripathy. The basic structure, pronunciation and meaning of the shlokas were discussed with the participants. Selected mantras from Bhavanyashtakam and the Upanishads were chanted. Chanting of the mantras is an ancient practice that calms the mind and soul.
