Dear Readers,
Radhekrishna! In this post let us know about the word ‘Shaanti’ which is very commonly used in our day to day life.
Many of us have heard during prayers “Om Shanti Shanti Shanti hi”.
Shaanti, meaning "peace", is a natural state of being. Disturbances are created either by others or us. For example, peace already exists in a place until someone makes noise.
Therefore, peace underlies all our agitations. When agitations end, peace is naturally experienced since it was already there. Where there is peace, there is happiness. Therefore, every one without exception desires peace in his/her life.
However, peace within or without seems very hard to attain because it is covered by our own agitations. A rare few manage to remain peaceful within even in the midst of external agitation and troubles. To invoke peace, we chant prayers. By chanting prayers, troubles end and peace is experienced internally, irrespective of the external disturbances. All such prayers end by chanting shaanti thrice.
The moot point of this topic lies therein. What is the need to say the word shaanti thrice? Eager to know? Then wait for the next post for the answer
Section II: Information about Indian herbs
In this post, let us know about the herb Sarpagandha also known as Rauwolfia Serpentina in Latin.
- This herb is also known as Chhotachand; chhota means small and chand means moon in Hindi. So the name refers to a small size moon.
- It’s a bushy plant used for madness and heart ailments like blood pressure.
- It came to the notice of the international medical community about 50 years ago and an alkaloid has now been extracted which is extensively used in lowering blood pressure
- Given in raw form it induces sleep and helps cure agitation, worry and anxiety states
That concludes the topic for the fortnight. Till the next post, Radhekrishna to all our readers.
