Asatoma Sadgamaya

Asatoma Sadgamaya is one of the widely popular mantras chanted for peace and enlightenment.  

This mantra is quoted from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad and is believed to grant greater intellect and the ultimate wish of liberation.  

By reciting the verses, one seeks Divine help in differentiating reality from illusions.   

The devotee wishes to be guided towards the light (knowledge) away from darkness (ignorance) and towards salvation away from mortality.  

The verses conclude with the repetition of “Shanti” three times, signifying a prayer for peace to prevail in the universe.  

Chanting this mantra during meditation or yoga is believed to add to its positive effects, both physically and mentally.
