Shanti Mantras always end with three utterances of word
"Shanti" which means "Peace". The Reason for uttering three
times is for calming and removing obstacles in three realms which are:
·
"Physical" or Adhi-Bhautika,
·
"Divine" or Adhi-Daivika and
·
"Internal" or Adhyaatmika
·
According to the scriptures of
Hinduism sources of obstacles and troubles are in these three realms.
·
Physical
or Adhi-Bhautika realm can be source of troubles/obstacles coming from
external world, such as from wild
animals, people, natural calamities etc.
·
Divine or
Adhi-Daivika realm can be source of troubles/obstacles coming from
extra-sensory world of spirits, ghosts, deities, demigods/angels etc.
·
Internal
or Adhyaatmika realm is source of troubles/obstacles arising out of ones
own body and mind, such as pain, diseases, laziness, absent-mindedness etc.
These are called
"Tapa-Traya" or three classes of troubles. When Shanti mantras are
recited, obstacles from these realms are believed to be pacified.
