Mantra is spoken in the ancient language of Sanskrit. The spiritual masters of India consider this language divine because of its vibrational energy.

Simple living and higher thinking ought to govern our life in this world. Peace is the aspiration of all generations of humanity, regardless of culture, religion or political persuasion. Peace is the common desire of all. Thus give help, understanding and forgiveness whilst fulfilling all of life’s tasks and duties. Treat others as you wish to be treated and awaken universal love. Tolerance, love and respect are the universal powers that will unite all of humanity. We have only two days, yesterday and today. No body has ever seen tomorrow. With hindsight we must learn from our mistakes of yesterday and with that knowledge, act appropriately today.
