Rig Veda 1.89.8; Shanti Mantra of the Mundaka and other Upanishads · Traditional (Vedic) · Vedic
Bhadram Karnebhih is an ancient prayer of the Rig Veda that came to serve as a Shanti Path, a peace invocation, at the threshold of sacred study. It opens the Mundaka Upanishad and is recited in the Atharva and Rig Veda traditions before the reading of scripture. In it the worshippers, addressing the bright gods, pray that their ears may hear and their eyes behold only what is auspicious, that their bodies remain firm and healthy, and that they may live out the full lifespan granted by the gods, spending it in praise of the Divine. The threefold 'Shanti' that closes it invokes peace at every level of existence.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
It is held that to begin study or worship with this invocation purifies and harmonizes the atmosphere, so that the seeker's senses, mind and body are attuned to the auspicious; the threefold peace it pronounces is believed to ward off the three kinds of affliction — those from within, from other beings, and from the forces of nature.
