Shanti is a Sanskrit word meaning 'Divine Peace'.

Hindu teachings typically end with the words Om shanti shanti shanti as in invocation of peace and the mantra is also used to conclude some Buddhist devotional ceremonies.

Threefold Shanti is generally interpreted as meaning the Threefold Peace in body, speech and mind....therefore peace in the entirety of one's being. The lotus flower is also a symbol of peace.

In ancient scripts it is said that the lotus flower rises from the mud in the ground and is the timeless yogic symbol of shanti. The lotus flower is not dependant on clear or cloudy water for growth or external circumstances, but a deep connection to the eternal essences within.

Peace is the mental equilibrium that all spiritual aspirants strive to attain.
