Oṁ Saha nāvavatu, saha nau bhunaktu
Oh Lord please protect both of us, let us both enjoy
Saha vīryam karavāvahai, Tejasvi nāvadhītamastuLet us put forth the right effort, let our learning be brilliant
Mā vidviṣāvahai..Oṁ Shāntiḥ, Shāntiḥ, Shāntiḥ
Let there be no conflict between both of us.The last three Shanti chants represent the removal of the 3 obstacles:
1 --- obstacles that come from our unknown sources, which we have no control over.
2 --- obstacles being those that come from the world around us.
3 --- obstacles being those that come from within oneself (body and mind).
* This Mantra is taken from the Krishna Yajurveda Taittiriya Upanishad (2.2.2)
