Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu – 108 times chanting
Meaning:
“May all the beings in all the worlds be happy”.
On August 31st,2008, Beloved Bhagawan revised the Mantra for Universal Peace, Lokah Samastha… into ‘Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu’ to bring universal peace and harmony to all.
As you chant, envision all the beings in all the worlds, the challenges, trials, tribulations, and fears. Envision the Divine hand of God embracing all, bestowing to all, peace and harmony. Experience the peace that comes to you as you chant and wish that very peace to all.
