I chant this prayer in the end of all my yoga sessions- 

सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः।
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग् भवेत्।।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

the literal  meaning of this mantra is- May all be happy,  May all be in good health and  May all be prosperous and May none fall on evil days.

Recently I came across a different insight about the same prayer and that is going to stay with me forever. It said, we are included in the “All” and we are making a personal commitment to “being” in a particular way while sending out a wish for other to “BE”

I commit to being happy, and wish for your happiness 

I commit to being healthy, and wish for your health

I commit to being a viewer of the good in you, and wish for you to see the good in others

I commit to not being sorrowful and I wish the same for you

With this commitment to be happy, healthy and being able to see goodness in others, I wish all of you the same in the years to come! Wish you all a very happy new year 2024!
