oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ: Jivamukti Open 90 minutes

here is the mantra we chant at the beginning of the practice:

oṃ dyauḥ śāntir antarikṣaṃ śāntiḥ

pṛthivī śāntir āpaḥ śāntir oṣadhayaḥ śāntiḥ

vanaspatayaḥ śāntir viśvedevāḥ śāntir 

brahma śāntiḥ sarvaṃ śāntiḥ śāntireva śāntiḥ sā mā śāntir edhi

oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ oṃ

— Yajurveda 36:17

May the heavens: the sun, moon, stars, galaxies and all zodiac signs be in peace and harmony. May the space between the earth and the sun, moon and stars be peaceful and without pollution. May our mother earth be happy and peaceful and free from all pollution. May all the waters be peaceful and free from pollution – the oceans, rivers, drinking water and rain, with no acid rain. May all the medicinal herbs and plants be in their natural state and be free from pollution. May the whole vegetable kingdom, especially all trees and forests, be in a natural state, healthy and free from disease due to pollution. May all the elements – earth, water, fire, air and ether – and all the cosmic forces be in peace and harmony, without pollution. May our body, mind and soul and all of existence be in peace and harmony, free from pollution. May everything, in and out, be peaceful and in natural harmony, without pollution. May peace itself be real peace, not artificially maintained by military and police forces or balance of nuclear power. And last but not least, may that natural peace, harmony and unity blossom and flourish through us. Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthi: peace – physically, mentally and spiritually.
