Title: Mantra for Teaching / Learning
Post by: SS91 on April 09, 2007, 06:54:04 PM

Mantra for Teaching / Learning

This particular Mantra is for those who teach and/or learn. I find it particularly fascinating, since it realises that whenever a teacher and student meet, there is all possibility of there arising an ego-clash and hence an argument. So besides an enlightening study, the mantra invokes peace.

Om!
Sah naavavatu
Sah nau Bhunaktu
Sah Veeryam Karvaa vahai
Tejasvee naav dheeta mastu
Maa Vidvishaa vahai
Om! Shanti Shanti Shanti



Om 
Sah   Together   
nau    us both
Avatu  may He protect
Sah    Together
nau    us both
Bhunaktu   may He look after (The Study)
Sah  Together
Veeryam   putting an effort enthusiastically
karva vahai   exert together (for the study)
Tejasvee   lustrous
nau   of both of us
Adheetam   study
astu   maybe
Ma vid vishaa vahai  (May both of us) never quarrel

Om! may He protect us both (teacher and student)
May He look after us, so that we both enjoy (the fruits of our study)
May our study acquire a lustre
May we never quarrel with each other.

Jai Sai Ram!!!
Subhsriniji, Thanks a lot for the beautiful meaning. Although I recited this mantra so many times, I never knew its true meaning. I hope you will continue posting mantras with their translated meanings, this is a very good way of learning for youngsters.
Om Sai Ram!!!
Radha.
