So when we say the first Shanti, we are praying, “O God, may we be protected from these types of obstacles that are beyond our control.” We absolutely have no control over these types of disturbances. So this Shanti means, “O God, may we be protected from the people and surroundings.”Īdhi-Daivikam literally means “mental disturbances that come from God” – things that are utterly beyond our control: earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, floods, tsunamis, etc. We can use mosquito repellent, we can call the police on our neighbors, we can turn off the phone, we can leave the place altogether, etc. We have some control over this 2nd category of disturbances. These are also called “Tapa-Traya,” or three classes of troubles.Īdhi-Bhautikam literally means “disturbances that come from the world.” That means anything stemming from the world around us – mosquitoes, barking dogs, noisy neighbors, the phone ringing, family arguments. Therefore, the reason for uttering three times is for pacifying and removing obstacles in three realms “Physical”, “Divine,” and “Internal.” Peaceful Shanti Mantras like this one, always end with three utterances of the word. Obstacles from these realms are believed to be totally pacified. Practicing this mantra daily with sincere intention dissolves obstacles in three realms: Adhi-Bhautikam (Physical), Adhi-Daivikam (Divine), and Adhyatmikam (Internal).
