The first part of this shanti mantra is a prayer for awareness and for the ability to know beyond the veil of illusion. To be bathed in eternal truth. It from the Brihad Aranyaka Upanishad.
The chanter/seeker proclaims her/his sense of limitedness and the mantra is a heartfelt cry for assistance in transcendence. The essence of each of these three mantras is the same: “O, Guru, help me free myself from my sundry misunderstandings regarding myself, the universe and the Divine and bless me with true knowledge.”
The mantra Ahem Prem affirms one’s divine love energy and seals it within the heart. This mantra appears simple but can lead to deep inner transformation by creating one’s highest essence of love.
lyrics
Asato Ma Sat Gamaya
Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya
Mrityor Ma Amritam Gamaya
असतो मा सद्गमय
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय
मृत्योर् मा अमृतं गमय
ॐ शांति शांति शांति - बृहदारण्यक उपनिषद् 1.3.28.
Lead us from unreal to real.
Lead us from darkness to the light.
Lead us from the fear of death, to the knowledge of immortality.
Ahem Prem (ah-hum pray-mah)
अहम् प्रेमा
I am divine love.
