Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu

Pronunciation:
Low-kaah-ha
Suh-muh-staah-ha
Soo-khee-no
Bhuh-vun-too


Translation:
"May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all."

This reminds us that we are all inter-connected beings of the universe. We can not achieve true happiness if we cause unhappiness to other living beings, nor can we be free if we deny others of their freedom.

Aham Prema

Pronunciation:
Ah-hahm
Preh-mah

This mantra translates to "I Am Divine Love"

This begins the process of transforming your entire body, being, nature, and spirit into a product of divine love.

Chanting this mantra establishes your search for spiritually-based  relationships, consequently attracting others who are searching for the same kind of relationship.
