What does the Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah mean?
May all be happy, may all be free from illness, may all see what is auspicious, may no one suffer. The threefold shanti asks for peace from three sources of disturbance: the divine, the natural world, and oneself.
When it is chanted
Recited to close a puja, a reading or a gathering. It asks for nothing on one's own behalf.
