[afiataa]

what is the reason for the song. is it religious?

[MrNitin0123]

@afiataa yes it is religious

[sreedharmanchu]

@afiataa Word-by-word meaning:

Saha- both; nau-us; avatu- may he protect; bhunaktu-may he nourish; viryam

karavavahai-may we acquire the capacity; tejasvi-be brilliant; nau-for us; adhitam- what

is studied;astu-let it be; ma vidvisavahai-may we not argue with each other.

Translation

May He protect both of us. May He nourish both of us. May we both acquire the capacity

(to study and understand the scriptures). May our study be brilliant. May we not argue

with each other. Om peace, peace, peace.

[sreedharmanchu]

@afiataa Brief explanation

At the beginning of a class, the teacher and students generally recite this peace

invocation together. Both seek the Lord’s blessings for study that is free of obstacles, such as poor memory, or the inability to concentrate or poor health. They also seek blessings for a conducive relationship, without which communication of any subject

matter is difficult. Therefore, this prayer is important for both the teacher and the

student.

Can you repost this video as after 11:00 mins voice and picture are not synchronized. Thank you in advance.......

@nishith83 One quick solution for the video problem is to have two videos open, mute one, and synchronize yourself the audio on one with the video on the other. Bit of a pain but it works.
