Why do we chant Shantih thrice in invocation prayers?

My dear Vidhi,
You are always so dutiful in your F b s, I cannot thank you enough.
Yes, doing it aware of the significance makes it more enjoyable.

Dear Chitra,
You are really a godsend to me that too today with this Shanti paatah...
I have been mentally disturbed yesterday soooo much that see i a up so early and was hoping to turn my mind into something good and stilling and lo behold, you have just posted the same aspect......
I loved to read the meaning behind the 3 shanti we utter, like Kamala, says i too never gave it a thought.....my my how vast and in depth our hindu culture is na....and thanks to you that we are all getting enlightened.....:2thumbsup:

But truly i want to thank you for todays post, as i was reading it itself i felt so calm and my wavering mind is so still and at peace now....i hope to retain it today, thinking abt your post constantly.....really God Bless You!

Dear Sudha,
Your feed back today is very emotional - I can sense it.
Well if you read about Shantih on a day, you are disturbed, I would say, this is a meaningful coincidence. Please remember Sudha, every experience, however disturbing is a blessing in the sense that Universe wants us to learn a lesson from that experience.
May God be with you at times of stress.
Love,
Chithra.

Mrs.c,

Thanks for the beautiful post. It served as a refresher course for me.

Indeed the third kind of obstacles is the most difficult to get rid of.

Dear Chitra,
Enjoyed reading this weeks post. All I knew up until today was Shanthi means peace. You have taken an effort to explain it in detail, also the three sources of disturbance made a lot of sense to me. May God be with you Chitra and may you be blessed with peace at all times.
Love,

My dear Lavanya,

Is not the following song our all-time favourite?
சாந்தி நிலவ வேண்டும்
(May there be peace everywhere)

Love,
Chithra.
