What does “Shanti” mean?
“Shanti” in Sanskrit means “peace, calmness, tranquility” – all valuable qualities you cultivate through the practice of yoga and meditation. One of the purposes and benefits of yoga is to calm the mind, or “to stop the fluctuations of the mind” as explained by Patanjali in his original Yoga Sutras.
Shanti (Peace):
• is a divine attribute
• is harmony, silence, calm, repose
• is the quality of your soul
• is your happy, natural state of being
• fills the pure heart
• is freedom from disturbance, anxiety,
agitation, or violence
• brings balance in your life
• helps you to be centered and grounded
“Without meditation, where is peace? Without peace, where is happiness?” The Bhagavad Gita
