Pasayadan

A Universal Prayer for the Well-Being of All

What if a single prayer could wish happiness not just for oneself, but for the entire world?

Composed over eight centuries ago by the young saint Sant Dnyaneshwar, Pasayadan is one of the most profound and compassionate prayers ever written. Instead of asking for personal liberation, power, or reward, it offers a radical vision of collective well-being, where suffering dissolves, wisdom rises, and all living beings live in harmony.

This book presents Pasayadan as a living guide for inner transformation and ethical living.

Written in a clear, contemporary voice, the book gently unfolds each verse of Pasayadan through:
. Original Marathi text with transliteration
. Simple, intuitive meanings
. Reflective insights drawn from philosophy, psychology, and lived experience
. Real-life stories that connect ancient wisdom to modern challenges
. Quiet practices that help integrate the prayer into daily life

Without requiring religious belief, this book speaks to universal human values - compassion, humility, service, clarity of mind, and responsibility toward one another. It shows how an ancient chant can become a powerful anchor in today’s world of stress, division, and uncertainty.

Pasayadan is ideal for:
. Readers exploring spirituality beyond ritual
. Those seeking calm, meaning, and ethical grounding
. Educators, facilitators, and parents introducing values to the young
. Anyone drawn to wisdom that unites rather than divides

Part of the Eternal Chants series, this volume stands complete on its own while opening a doorway into the timeless intelligence of sacred sound.

May this book remind us of a simple yet transformative truth: when we wish well for all, we rise together.
