May Peace and Harmony Prevail! This indeed is the univeral message that Vedas have left for the world.

"Sarve Janah Sukhino Bhavantu" ~ May Peace and Harmony Prevail! This indeed is the univeral message that Vedas have left for the world. This is the age-old principle that Guruhood have given to mankind from the earliest times. If this is practiced in life, truly, the earth will be transformed in to Heaven. 'Shivamastu Jagatam' - the world becomes filled with 'Shiva' i.e bliss and well being.‪ The sloka is an invocation for harmony and blessings for all of creation. The most important aspect of any prayer is that one does not pray only for this clan or nation but for the whole world. Praying for the welfare of all humans, all animals, all plants - our mind becomes more expansive. Instead of asking for something for our self, let us pray for the whole creation. Through such prayer we slowly can go beyond our limited egocentric concepts of self to identify with the entire creation, recognising its true nature to be none other than our own. And as we too are part of the world, we also are benefited from the blessings of the prayer. let us try to feel deeply for all living beings, and make a resolve to live in this selfless spirit. May peace and harmony prevail! Jai Shiva Shankar ~ Om Namah Shivaya!
Shubh Prabhat ~ Namaste!
