Asto maa Sadgamaya
Tamso ma Jyotirgamaya
Mrityorma amritam gamaya
Meaning: Astaya se satya ki aor chalo
Andhere se roshni ki aor chalo
Mrityu se amrit ki aor
English Meaning: Let us move from untruth towards the truth, unreal to real. Oh God! lead me from darkness towards light. Pave my way from death to immortality, from fear of death to the heavenly nectar within.
From Smita and Manisha

I always wonder how Rishis happened to write so many wonderful, thought provoking Mantras, thousands of years ago when through out the world, men were fighting over trivial issues. Amazing.
Ekam Sat, Vipra Bahudha Vadanti
God is One, learned call It by many names
LOKA SAMASTA SUKINO BHAVANTU
[Let the whole world be happy]
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam
"The world is one Family".
Rig Veda -89-1 also states
Aa no bhadraah kratavo yantu vishvatah
" Let noble thoughts come to us from every side".
World has always been fighting on trivial issues. Rishis overcame the concept of issues. For them everything was inter-weaved together. Even today you can find enlightened people across.
Great mantra. It is followed by Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi: without which the mantra is rendered in completete. I am not being a critic - this mantra has helped me overcome a number of obstacles. Great blog - and many thanks. May you and your work live live long and prosper.
