What does Om Shanti Mean?
Om Shanti is a mantra. Broken down, Om is considered the primeval sound of the universe, it can also mean solemn affirmation and respectful yes.
Yes opens dialog and opportunities for living, as opposed to no which is a block to conversation and possibilities.
Shanti simply means peace. Usually said three times in Buddhist chants and meaning peace in body, mind and speech.
