Read your message: > Pamho, and what would be the approximate meaning not considering the > miss-spelling? > > Peace Mantra > > ASATO MA SADGAMAYA - Lead me from ignorance (asat) to (sat) (eternal) knowledge > TAMASO MA JOTIR GAMAYA Lead me from darkness (tamasaha) to light (jyotihi) > MRITYOR MA AMRITAM GAMAYA Lead me from death (mrityuhu) to immortality (amritam) > SARVESAM SVASTIR BHAVATU May all (living beings) be healthy. (Bhavatu = may they be/become) sarvesham=of all (living beings) svastihi = health shantihi = peace purnam = = full These (above) are probably from the Upanishads, but offhand I'm not sure where. > SARVESAM SHANTIR BHAVATU > > SARVESAM MANGADAM BHAVATU > > SARVESAM PURNAM BHAVATU > LOKAH SAMASTAH SUKHINO BHAVANTU May all people be(become) happy. > OM TRYAMBAKAM YAJAMAHE Oh my Lord (OM), we worship (yajamahe) Lord Shiva (Trybakam). > SUGANDHIM PUSTIVARDANAM May this fragrance increase your strengh. > URVA RUKAMIEVA BHANDANAT > MRITYOR MUKSHIR MA AMRITAT Sorry, I'm not sure about these 2 above. The following two are mayavadi type mantras that don't appear to come from shastras, but... if anyone can show where they come from... > NAHAM KARATA PRABHU DEEP KARATA I do not light the light, but the Lord lights it. > MAHAPRABHU DEEP KARATA HI KEVALAM Oh great Lord (Mahaprabhu) only light the light. > OM SHANTI SHANTI SHANTI OM = Oh my Lord. Shanti = Peace. Hope this is of some help. dasabhas, Basu Ghosh Das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
