Prayer for world peace on world peace day in Vienna

Peace is the essential work for all on this International Day of Peace. The natural world inherently possesses a state of peace that humanity must learn to embody. A tree of peace grows as a symbol for this global aspiration. The prayer extends to the entire world—its environment, climate, and all living beings. The ultimate hope is for people to live together in harmony and divine blessing. This is pursued through sacred chant and collective silent intention. The practice directs positive energy and love toward universal welfare and freedom from suffering.

"May all be happy. May all be free from illness. May all see goodness. May none partake of sorrow."

"Lead us to immortality with steadfastness. May the welfare of all be protected."

To all of you, many, many special blessings. And a special greeting from Australia, from South Australia, Adelaide. Thank you, Father David. Your prayers accompany us in our prayers. That was Father David, and he sends his blessings to all of you today from Adelaide, South Australia, along with warm regards from the Premier of South Australia, Mike Rann. Today is the United Nations’ International Day of Peace for the whole world. A set day, and we are all here working for peace throughout the entire world. We see our tree of peace; it is beautifully speckled, healthy, and growing very well. And we hope that with the tree, peace will also grow throughout the whole world and in the hearts of all people. The animals and the plants have peace within them, but only humans do not. And we pray for the whole world, for the environment, climate, animals, rivers, lakes, oceans, and finally also for the people, that we may learn to live together in peace, in harmony, and in God’s blessing. First, we will sing the Śānti Mantra and then we will observe one minute of silence. Okay? So, did you all catch everything? Yes. Alright, then we will sing the entire mantra, okay? Lead us to immortality, lead us to immortality with steadfastness, may the welfare of all be protected, may the peace of all be protected, may the strength of all be protected, may all be complete and whole, may all be happy. Om Tryambakam Yajāmahe Sugandhiṃ Puṣṭi-Vardhanam | Urvārukamiva Bandhanān Mṛtyormukṣīya Māmṛtāt || Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ || Next mantra: Om Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinaḥ Sarve Santu Nirāmayāḥ | Sarve Bhadrāṇi Paśyantu Mā Kaścid-Duḥkha-Bhāg-Bhavet || Om Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ || Om, may that which is auspicious be done, may there be health, wealth, and strength, may the intellect be sharp, may enemies be destroyed. I bow to the light of the lamp, the light of the Lord, the light of Mahāprabhujī. This alone is the doer. Om Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ. Please pause for a minute and send your thoughts and love, understanding, harmony, and positive energy to the whole world. Om Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ... Mahāprabhudīp Karatā Mahāprabhudīp Karatā...
