Aum sarvesham swasthir bhavathu,
Sarvesham shantir bhavathu,
Sarvesham poornam bhavathu,
Sarvesham mangalam bhavathu.

Sarve santhu niramayaha
Sarve bhadrani pashyantu,
Makaschid dukhabav bhaveth

 

Let everyone be healthy,
Let everyone enjoy peace,
Let everyone live in fulfillment,
Let everyone be filled with auspiciousness,
Let all be happy,
Let all be free from pain,
Let all see only auspiciousness,
Let not anyone be unhappy

MUNDAKA UPANISHAD
 

Aurn asato ma sad gamaya
Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya
Mrityor ma amritam gamaya.

From the unreal lead me to the Real,
From darkness lead me to light,
From death lead me to immortality.

Aum Poornamadam poornamidam,
Poornath poornamudachyathe,
Poornasya, Poornamadaya,
Poornamevavashishyathe.
Aum Shanti, Shanti, Shanti!

That is full and this is also full,
From the full comes the full.
From the full if you take away the full,
Fullness alone will remain.
Aum Peace! Peace! Peace!
