The world seems to be a happy place but many of us are still living a stressful life. This stress has taken our happiness and left us with tensions and sorrows. Everyone is tired of their stressful life and therefore they do meditation for achieving piece. But as soon as they get back to work, the stress starts to build up. Many people end up having depression. And therefore it becomes very important to have peace in life. So, to achieve peace, there is the only solution which not only gives peace to the mind but is also permanent. This solution is none other than the Shanti Mantras we used to chant while performing any Yagya.
The most important element of any Shanti Mantras is the word, Om. Om is more than a word, it is a primeval sound. In other words, Om is the sacred sound of the universe from which all other sounds have been developed. This sacred sound OM represents three Realms of Consciousness. Shanti Mantras are usually chanted at the beginning and at the end of any rituals and discourses. They are chanted to fill the mind with peace and clam the reciter as well as the environment near them. Shanti Mantras is also recited to remove obstacles and other evil forces.
