"I go to the sun, your life to the wind, by the meritorious acts that you have done, go to heaven and then to the earth again; or, resort to the waters, if you feel at home there; remain in the herbs with the bodies you propose to take.”
Om shanti om:
When offering condolences, instead of “Rest in peace,” a Hindu will chant “Om shanti om” three times. Because Hinduism posits a cycle of life and death by reincarnation, there is no rest. There can be, however, peace. Om is a sacred sound; shanti is a Sanskrit word that means profound peace.
“Om shanti om” is said three times to invoke peace in the body, mind and spirit. The mantra can be said as either “Om shanti, om shanti, om shanti” or “Om shanti, shanti, shanti.”
