The Supreme Power
Is Dear to all,
Is the Doer of good to all,
Is ever young,
Is the Bestower of fruits of all actions!

Grant us a long life!
We bow down to the Supreme Almighty,
The Absolute Reality!

May there be - peace - peace - peace

(Atharva Veda- Chapt 9 -1)

Vedic Prayer 2 - A Peace Chant From Atharva Veda
POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
During this Quarantine period, there is nothing better than a prayer for the whole world. These are Peace chants from the Vedas.The best part about these' Peace chants' are that they are universal. It is not for a particular religion, cast, creed, sect, colour, language or country. It is for all human beings alike.
I have taken the liberty to translate the original Sanskrit verses into English. I, most humbly declare, that a translation can never do full justice to the original Sanskrit verse. Sanskrit has its own divine beauty and grace.

Great prayer with limited words but with a profound meaning. It invokes the Supreme Being who is 'Doer of good...Bestower of fruits of all actions! ... long life! ' For a lasting peace within as well as outside world. Thanks, Geeta ji.
