Love


Love is the struggle of a human Soul to find it's complement 
It's stable equilibrium 
It's infinite rest.

-Swami Vivekananda

Sanskrit Peace Chants

Purnamadah
(Brihadaranyaka & Ishavasya Upanishads)


Om purnamadah purnamidam purnat purnamudacyate 
Purnasya purnamadaya purnamevavasisyate
Om santih santih santih

"Om That (Brahman) is infinite; this (universe) is infinite. 
From the infinite the infinite has come. 
Taking the infinite from the infinite, the infinite alone remains. 
Om Peace, Peace, Peace"

Saha Navavatu
(Taittiriya, Katha, Mandukya & Shvetashvatara Upanishads)


Om Saha navavatu saha nau bhunaktu 
Saha viryam karavavahai
Tejasvinavadhitamastu ma vidvisavahai
Om santih santih santih

"Om May He protect us both; may He nourish us both.
May we work together with great energy. 
May our study be vigorous; may we live in harmony with each other.
Om Peace, Peace, Peace"

Life of my Life


Thou art my All in all, O Lord!―The Life of my life, the Essence of essence;
In the three worlds I have none else but Thee to call my own.
Thou art my peace, my joy, my hope; Thou my support, my wealth, my glory;
Thou my wisdom and my strength; Thou art my home, my place of rest; 
My dearest friend, my next of kin; my present and my future,
Thou my heaven and my salvation; Thou art my scriptures my commandments;
Thou art my ever gracious Guru; Thou the Spring of my boundless bliss.
Thou art the Way and Thou the Goal; Thou the Adorable One, O Lord!
Thou art the Mother tender-hearted; Thou the chastising Father;
Thou the Creator and Protector; Thou the Helms man who dost steer
My craft across the sea of life.
