Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti hi.
This Shanti Mantra from ‘Upanishads‘ invokes Peace upon entire humanity. The idea of peace is always associated with the idea of well-being. The idea of perfect well-being also includes ideas of inner peace and tranquility.The physical, mental, social, moral, and spiritual well-being are a part of perfect and complete well-being. The aspects of external and internal peace work together to contribute to a state of Blissful Existence. Hence, peace is not mere absence of war and strife. A man lives in peace if his well-being is fully assured. Since human existence is sustained by health and well-being, peace has become an integral aspect of human survival and existence. We seek this blissful state of existence as a Blessing from our Creator both for the individual and collectively for the larger national and global community to which the individual belongs.
