This is a sweet and healing adaptation of Veda taught within the Desikachar lineage. It asks for all around, all encompassing, all inclusive peace. This is - as yoga teaching always is - an acknowledgement of how hard things can be and an inner sankalpa to be and begin peace within ourselves. May suffering be at an end.
Sarva Śāntiḥ translation (Michael Hutchinson)
|| All is Peaceful ||
The earth is peaceful,
With the fire, it is peaceful.
To me it is peaceful.
May suffering be at an end.
The space between earth and sky is peaceful.
With the wind, it is peaceful.
To me, it is peaceful.
May suffering be at an end.
The sky is peaceful.
With the sun it is peaceful.
To me it is peaceful.
May suffering be at an end.
The earth is peace.
The space between earth and sky is peace.
The sky is peace.
The distant places are peace.
Water, Medicine, and Forests are peace.
Cows, sheep and horses are peace.
People are peace.
Gods are peace.
Those who turn to God are peace.
Peace, indeed, is peace.
Peace unto me, let there be peace.
Thus I am with peace.
All is peace to me.
Towards the two-footed,
Toward the four-footed also,
I make peace.
Peace onto me, let there be peace.
