Morning chants help in bringing up the peace of mind, so it is a traditional practice of listening. Preaching of chants by the priest is one of the oldest practices which are still believed to be effective in developing peace of mind. Morning chants are for different reasons since peace is the first step to remove anxiety and depression. Lord Shiva’s early morning chants are for peace of mind, we use the word Shanti or peace for three times.
The first ‘Shanti’ describes the peace from nature, second peace is derived from the individuals surrounding and the important Shanti is to remind to acquire peace from one’s inner soul. Peace should be within the mind of a person who should be away from forcibly indulging his or her mind in anxieties and depressions. In modern times, depression is observed in young ones, that is different from the best career seekers to the old people who are alone after their retirement. These five early morning chants can help to be strong and develop peace in your mind within.
