ಓಂ ಸಹ ನಾವವತು ಸಹ

This is another profound Shanti Mantra traditionally recited between a teacher (Guru) and a student before beginning their studies. What makes this mantra special is its emphasis on the sacred relationship between teacher and student, acknowledging that spiritual learning is a collaborative journey where both parties need to work in harmony. The prayer seeks mutual protection (saha nāvavatu), where both teacher and student are safeguarded together on their journey of learning. The next request is that they be nourished together (saha nau bhunaktu).
