Ram Dass, born Richard Alpert, was an American spiritual teacher, psychologist, and author who helped bridge Eastern philosophy and Western seekers. A former Harvard professor known for psychedelic research with Timothy Leary, he traveled to India in 1967, met guru Neem Karoli Baba, and was given his name meaning “servant of God.” His 1971 book Be Here Now became a counterculture classic, and he taught on love, compassion, service, and mindful presence until his death in 2019.

1.oṃ pūrṇamadaḥ pūrṇamidaṃ

4. pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate
5. oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ

Om. Wholeness is That, Wholeness is This. From the Whole, the Whole comes forth.
Removing the Whole from the Whole, the Whole remains.
Om, peace, peace, peace. (To the Gross (physical) body, Subtle (astral) body, and Causal (karmic) body.)
This mantra forms the foundation of Advaita Vedanta philosophy, expressing the profound idea that Absolute Reality (Brahman) is all-pervading and unchanging. The manifested world, though appearing separate, arises from that same completeness and thus is also complete in itself.
It beautifully illustrates the concept that infinity remains infinite, no matter what is taken from it. The mantra reminds us that our true essence is already whole and perfect, and that separation, lack, or incompleteness is merely an illusion of perception.
This teaching invites us to live with the awareness that we are not fragments seeking completion—we are expressions of the eternal whole itself.

2: Together may we two Relish (our Studies, the Teacher and the Student),
3: Together may we perform (our Studies) with Vigour (with deep Concentration),
4: May what has been Studied by us be filled with the Brilliance (of Understanding, leading to Knowledge); May it Not give rise to Hostility (due to lack of Understanding),
5: Om Peace, Peace, Peace. :( To the Gross (physical) body, Subtle (astral) body, and Causal (karmic) body.)
Om sahana vavatu is an ancient mantra which comes from Krishna Yajur Veda Taittiriya Upanishad. It is a prayer usually recited before studying sacred scriptures and at the beginning of classes at school. It is considered a peace mantra.
