Why Do We Chant Shanti Mantra 3 Times?

Peace is something everyone longs for, whether it is in our personal lives or the world around us.

- JYOTSNAA G BANSAL

Peace is our natural state. Peace is not silence. One can remain in silence and yet be not peaceful. We are peaceful when there is no turmoil inside us. And unless we are peaceful, we cannot be happy.

Peace gives clarity of thoughts, stability of mind, detachment, maturity and right understanding. When you expect from others you are on a wanting mode which disturbs peace of mind. Peace also means freedom from anxiety. Doing good to others, dedicating yourself to a higher cause, serving others considering them as your own self gives you an elevated feeling which results in peace of mind.

In Vedic traditions, peace is not just a state of calm but a balance in every aspect of life. Bhagvad Gita clearly states that when there is no peace, there can be no happiness. Vedic teachings highlight the need for harmony within ourselves and in the world around us. Among these teachings, the Shanti Mantra holds a unique place. Shanti Mantra is the simplest and most universal mantra of peace - "Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti".
