OM Shanti Shanti Shantihi

Om Sahana Vavatu (Sanskrit: ॐ सह नाववतु) is the name of an ancient Sanskrit mantra, commonly recited as a devotional prayer before sacred Hindu scriptures are studied.

Originally found in the Krishna Yajurveda Taittiriya Upanishad (2.2.2), it is often chanted at the start of a school class or at the beginning of a yoga practice.

The name of this mantra is derived from several Sanskrit terms.

Om is considered to be the primal sound of the universe and a symbol of universal consciousness or the Divine.

Saha means "together," nau, means "both" and avatu can be translated as "may he protect."

As such, this mantra calls upon protection from the divine universal consciousness.

​Additionally, it is considered to be a shanti mantra, otherwise known as a chant or prayer for peace.
