Peace prayer

A prayer seeks guidance from illusion to truth, from ignorance to wisdom, from death to the eternal. It invokes peace, health, harmony, and completeness for all. The appeal is for divine light to inspire unity, offering surrender for protection and liberation. The prayer concludes with an invocation of profound peace.

"Lead us from unreality to reality. Lead us from darkness to light."

"May there be peace everywhere. May we all attain completeness."

O, lead us from unreality to reality. Asato mā sadgamaya. Lord, lead us from darkness to light. Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya. Lead us from mortality to immortality. Mṛtyor mā amṛtam gamaya. May there be peace everywhere. Sarve sam śāntir bhavatu. May there be good health everywhere. Sarve sam śāntir bhavatu. May we live all together with mutual understanding and in harmony. May we all attain completeness. May the whole world be happy, and may the blessed Lord protect us, forgive us our sins, and bless us with good health, long life, and mutual understanding. Your divine light and love inspire us toward brotherhood. Guide us, protect us, and liberate us. We are Thine. O Śānti, Śānti, Śānti. Peace, Peace, Peace.
