A Cosmic Embrace…

For a world afflicted with calamities and chaos and confusion, Bhagawan has given us the panacea, the revised Universal Mantra for Global well-being…Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu…when every day is an uncertain beginning…when every day is a new lease of life, a blessing from the Ultimate Divine, is not it man’s duty to rest everything in His safe hands, chanting most selflessly Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu…beseeching the Cosmic Creator…Read on an entreaty from humanity as coined by Sri Jullie Chaudhuri.

Beloved Mother Sai…
…Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu…

This is what we have learnt from You,
This is what pleases You,
The mere mention of Your name gives us joy supreme,
Oh Precious Mother, Oh Sweet Lord,
United we must work to fulfill Your dream…
At Your cherished Lotus Feet, this life we do submit,
That You may do with us as You deem fit…
Sab ka mangal ho, sab ka ho kalyan,
Iss par ho laksh hamara, iss par ho dhyaan,
Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu,
All we want, Loving Maa, is to please You…
Care for Life,
Concern for Nature,
Respect for all Creation through,
Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu…

To transform ourselves from mere ‘Earth’ beings into ‘Human’ beings and be worthy of the title ‘Human’, one must have ‘human’ qualities – Compassion, Tolerance, Forbearance, Patience, Sacrifice, Selflessness and Love…qualities our Most Beloved One, has always stressed upon.

‘Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu’ takes us from the realm of selfishness to the sphere of selflessness and sacrifice, of putting the cause of others before our own, opening us up to the woes of another and the universal well-being or rather the well-being of the Cosmos.

Many are the challenges faced by the individual, the society, and the world, and this is having serious repercussions on and is a threat to Mother Earth…a threat of cosmic proportions…
We need to come together and help heal the world…
Thus, ‘Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu’, which is a Universal Prayer beyond boundaries and walls created by religion, caste and creed, will benefit all – from human beings to animals to plants to marine life to birds to rivers, mountains and rocks.
It has such a magnified effect, that not only will it encompass Mother Earth, but will also take in the whole Universe into its fold – an embrace of Cosmic proportions – A Cosmic Embrace…

‘Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu’ engulfs the elements five – Space, Air, Fire, Water, Earth and brings about a balance ever so harmonious.
Beloved Mother Sai, the symbol of the SSSO has representation from all religions of the world. You always exhort us to stick to Sathya, Dharma, Shanti, Prema and Ahimsa. And through this chant, You, Beloved One, are teaching us to link Sathya, Dharma, Shanti, Prema and evolve into Ahimsa.

Oh! Mother Sai, You are the Creator and the welfare of Your Creation is what pleases You the most.

Accept our prayer, Dearest One, that we may make this chant -’Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu’ – our very breath and feel deeply for all living beings.

Let our lives be Your message through this chant, which is luminous in nature, prolific in its reach and propitious, wholesome and Divine in character.

You, Sweet Mother Sai, have always stressed that we chant ‘Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu‘, and we now want to make it our way of life as it will make us go away from the ‘I’ to ‘We’ and finally into ‘You’.

Beings of light did spring forth from the silence deep within the Lord’s heart and so we are all connected and never apart…for those beings are us all…

A Brotherhood of man and creation under the Fatherhood of God.

To those of you perusing these lines just now, you are at the right place at the right time…for it is imperative that we chant this mantra for Universal Peace – both individually and collectively.

And we have to start now.
If we keep chanting this, the mantra becomes ‘us’ – Universal Seva, and we soon realize and are overcome by a deep awareness that the happiness of others is what truly makes us happy. The bonus is that along with peace, this revives a feeling of brotherhood, camaraderie and oneness.

Sit where you are, chant ‘Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu‘ and embrace the Cosmos, all sentient and insentient beings…without moving an inch.

The vibrations released by chanting it together will reach the Lord’s heart and His bliss will reach us all, for what pleases Him is that we unite and live together in peace and harmony.

Let us not delay to be a part of this Cosmic Embrace…

Let us help heal the world that our children will inherit…

‘Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu’…will help you reach the real you…

Your life can then be a fragrant offering at the Lotus Feet of Beloved Mother Sai…
