“ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः। सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः। सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु। मा कश्चित् दुःख भाग्भवेत्॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥”
“Om, May All become Happy, May All be Healthy, May All See what is Auspicious, May no one Suffer in any way. Om peace peace peace ’’ This leads to the world order which is humane as well as divine.
Shantipeeth was founded at Udaipur, Rajasthan, India in 1984 by Anant Ganesh Trivedi under the benevolent patronage of the late physicist-educationist Prof. D.S. Kothari. Dr Kothari was one of India’s most celebrated scientists and the author of Nuclear Explosions and their Effects, the world’s first scientific report on the nuclear devastation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
