Invocation on Togetherness

Started my teacher training last night. I wasn't feeling well, so I wasn't excited as I ought to have been. Nonetheless, I think it will be great. The group is ALL women. Not sure if that pleases me, upsets me, or if I'm indifferent. Time will tell. I haven't spent much time in the company of women in the last decade or so. It'll be good to explore those dynamics again.

Here is the Invocation on Togetherness, which I think we'll chant at the beginning of each class. I'm posting it here so I have a written reference. I am really bad at listening and repeating things when I don't know the meaning, or how it is spelled. I need the written form to be clear in my mind.

Om
Sahanavavatu
Saha nau bhunaktu
Saha viryam karavavahai
Tejasvi na dhita mastu
Ma vid visa vahai
Om, santih, santih, santih

  1. One interpretation:

    May He protect us both.

    May He cause us both to enjoy the Supreme.

    May we both exert together to discover the true inner meaning of the scriptures.

    May our studies be thorough and brilliant.

    May we never misunderstand each other.

    Om, peace, peace, peace.
