Sanskrit (Devanagari)
ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पूर्णमुदच्यते । पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
Oṃ pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṃ pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate / Pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate / Oṃ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ
English Translation
That is Whole. This is Whole. From the Whole, the Whole arises. When the Whole is taken from the Whole, the Whole alone remains. Om, peace, peace, peace.
Context & Significance
The Shanti Mantra opening the Isha Upanishad and the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. The deepest articulation of Advaita Vedanta — that the absolute Brahman is undivided and inexhaustible.
