Peace forms a recurring theme in the Vedas. More than about oneself it places emphasis at the global and
universal level. Sukta 19.9 by Rishi Brahma and Sukta 19.10 by Rishi Vasishta can be taken as sample shots
of this.
19.9.1 May there be peace on earth, sky and space. May the water filled rivers and medicine yielding
herbs be generating peace.
19.9.2 May the early forms, may the work done and the work not done, may the past and future be
peaceful for us.
19.9.3 May our words which should be rooted in God but have produced such great turbulence become
peaceful.
19.9.4 May our minds which have been sharpened by God, but have created such terrible things be
generating peace for us.
19.9.5 May our senses which have been sharpened by God but have created such terrible things be
generating peace for us.
19.10.1 May electricity, fire and wind be generating peace even amidst our struggles.
19.10.2 May our wealth, our prayers, our rules and regulations be generating peace.
19.10.6 May the Creator God hear our voice.
