Sanskrit Translation Let us be protected. And let us be nourished by the knowledge and blessings we are sharing. May we work together with great  energy and strength for the benefit of all. May our study  be  luminous, filled with joy, endowed with force of purpose. Let us never be poisoned with the seeds of hatred for anyone. Let there be peace. Peace. Peace.
