Quote by Unknown Vedic Sage: “May all beings be happy.”

This simple yet powerful blessing expresses a universal wish for the well-being and contentment of all living creatures. It embodies a spirit of compassion and interconnectedness, advocating for a world where peace and happiness are extended to every sentient being. It is a profound sentiment of benevolence.

This sentiment, 'Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu,' is a common mantra and prayer found in various Vedic traditions and later Hindu texts. It reflects the ancient Indian philosophical concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family) and emphasizes universal love and non-violence (ahimsa).

The Rig Veda is the oldest of the four Vedas, composed in Sanskrit by anonymous sages of ancient India between approximately 1500 and 1200 BCE. The texts were transmitted orally for centuries before being written down and represent the foundational scripture of the Vedic tradition that gave rise to Hinduism.
