Tempo: Ancient Sanskrit chants are traditionally sung at a slow, deliberate, and meditative pace.
The Three "Shantihs": The word Shanti (Peace) is always chanted three times at the end of a mantra. In ancient tradition, this represents a prayer for peace on three levels: internal peace (mind/body), environmental peace (the world around us), and divine or cosmic peace.
