Words to chant



Below, you will find the words and translation to the chant we will be practicing in class.  This is in case you want to practice at home or you are wondering what the heck we are singing.  
If you want to listen to the chant, you can find it on Richard Freeman's CD on chanting.





Saha Na Va Va Tu

Saha Nau Bhunaktu

Saha Viryam Kara va vahai

Tejah Svi Navadhi Tamastu

Ma Vidvidsha Vahai

Om Shantih, Shantih, Shantih

Translation:

May we be protected together
May we be nourished together
May we create strength among one another
May our study be filled with brilliance and light
May there be peace between us
