Shanti mantra is a prayer or chant for peace, often recited before and after Hindu religious rituals or ceremonies. The word "Shanti" comes from Sanskrit which means peace and the word "Mantra"; means prayer or song of praise, often recited repeatedly. There are various "Shanti Mantras" mentioned in Hindu holy books known as "Upanishads". Shanti mantra is chanted to calm the mind of the reciter and the nature around her/him. Traditionally, a Shanti mantra ends with three recitations of "Shanti", which is believed to remove obstacles and calm the three reals: Physical, Divine, and Internal.

ॐ द्यौ: शान्तिरन्तरिक्षँ शान्ति:,
पृथ्वी शान्तिराप: शान्तिरोषधय: शान्ति: ।
वनस्पतय: शान्तिर्विश्वे देवा: शान्तिर्ब्रह्म शान्ति:,
सर्वँ शान्ति:, शान्तिरेव शान्ति:, सा मा शान्तिरेधि ॥
ॐ शान्ति: शान्ति: शान्ति: ॥

Om Dyau Shanti-Rantariksha-Gwam Shantih,
Prithvi Shanti-Rapah Shanti-Roshadhayah Shantih।
Vanas-Patayah Shanti-Vishwed Devah Shanti-Brahma Shantih,
Sarvag-Wam Shantih Shanti-Reva Shantih Sa Ma Shanti-Redhi॥
Om Shantih Shantih Shantih Om॥


ॐ द्यौ: शान्तिरन्तरिक्षँ शान्ति:,
May harmony transmit there in the entire sky just as in the tremendous ethereal space all over the place.
पृथ्वी शान्तिराप: शान्तिरोषधय: शान्ति: ।
May harmony rule all over this world, in water and in all herbs, trees and creepers.
वनस्पतय: शान्तिर्विश्वे देवा: शान्तिर्ब्रह्म शान्ति:,
May harmony stream over the entire universe. May harmony be in the Supreme Being Brahman.
सर्वँ शान्ति:, शान्तिरेव शान्ति:, सा मा शान्तिरेधि ॥
Also, may there consistently exist in all harmony and harmony alone.
ॐ शान्ति: शान्ति: शान्ति: ॥
Aum harmony, harmony, and harmony to us and all creatures!

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय ।
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।

Om poornamadah poornamidam
Poornaat poornamudachyate

Om shanti, shanti, shanti hi

Meaning:​

God is the ultimate truth.
The absolute rises above the absolute.
Even when the absolute is taken away from the absolute, it remains.

"May all sentient beings be at peace,
may no one suffer from illness,
May all see what is auspicious,
may no one suffer.
Om peace, peace, peace."

We pray for the the wellbeing of everyone in this world. But still we are targeted and called intolerant!
