I have always been fascinated by different cultures and how they intermingle. As a multi culti masala mix myself, Ive been interested in how people from different parts of the world see things, and how that is similar or dissimilar to the way I was brought to see things. And in travelling around the world for most of my life, Ive found there are more similarities that there are differences. Perhaps this is why I always believe we have a chance to promote peace on this planet by learning about our neighbours in other cultures.

Shiva Yajur Mantra, or the Karpur Gauram Karunavtaaram is one of the most famous mantras. It is a Sanskrit Shloka related to Lord Shiva and a popular aarti in Shaivism. The mantra is found in Yajurveda, one of the four canonical texts of the Vedas.

The Gayatri Mantra is one of the oldest prayers known, and appeals to the highest wisdom; to illumine an understanding of our true nature. The appeal requests that we become subtle and receptive to the divine wisdom that pervades life and is the essence of Self.
