🟣 We arrived around 3pm before the 𝑹𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒉𝒂𝒍. Brave fans had been there since the morning. We were allocated numbers and the waiting began... I still didn't realize at that moment that in a few hours I was going to see 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨 on stage. I have to say that in the days leading up to the concert, I was gripped by a kind of unexplained and uncontrollable anxiety, as if it was the first time. I put this feeling on the back of the two previous anxiety-filled years we all spent... This anxiety faded away the day before the concert to give way to excitement but also to a kind of disbelief... the moment I had been waiting for was going to happen and I couldn't believe it.

🟣 While queueing, I met Alison, a German fan from Cologne and Myriam, a French fan from the center of France. They both are nice people and had some good laugh 😄. All I saw in her was respect and love for the band and excitement to attend a 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨 show.

🟣 At 6.30pm the doors opened and we stood on Brian's side. A great view of the stage. That strange feeling that had been with me since the day before was still there even then. It was a '𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ 𝑚𝑒' situation. Myriam and I were coast to coast, waiting, laughing, observing 😛

🎸 𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 came on stage at about 8pm. Of all the shows I've been to, this band was one of the best opening acts ! What a stage presence ! Energetic punk led by a singer who can't stay still, living his songs, followed by equally dynamic musicians. Wow. I loved it ! Of the eight songs they performed, the only ones I remember are 𝑩𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒆, 𝑷𝒐𝒑 𝑪𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒖𝒓, 𝑫𝒆𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆, 𝑴𝒂𝒅𝒈𝒆'𝒔 𝑫𝒆𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 and 𝑭𝒊𝒕 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒌 where they asked the audience to shout '𝘍𝘪𝘵 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬' when it was time to sing. Pretty cool 😊

🟣 The awareness that I was going to see 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨 on stage became more concrete and I felt serene, calmed down but still gripped by this excitement that was going up to a crescendo.

🟣 The messages asking the audience to leave the phones and live in the moment were displayed... the security guys were on their toes. They were organizing themselves in front of my eyes and I found it rather funny to watch. I had decided not to take any pictures, respecting the band's wishes, although I'm not the type to spend a concert with my phone in my hand.

🟣 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒔 began. 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒌, 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕, 𝑩𝒊𝒍𝒍 and 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒍𝒂 entered the stage. The crowd got excited. It was 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒂𝒏's turn to show his face and I realized. I realize that I was going to live a memorable and unique moment. 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 entered as well. The cheers got louder and louder. My serenity faded away and was replaced by pure joy. I let myself be carried away by this wave of immense happiness and lost myself in the music. Nothing else mattered except 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨... I sang my heart out, danced and jumped to the rhythm of the songs.

🟣 The band was masterful, it was beyond my expectations. The new live songs are just great. 𝑵𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝑴𝒆 𝑮𝒐 is meant to be heard live because the songs take on a whole new dimension, a total immersive dimension.

🎶 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑩𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝑰𝒏 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒌𝒚 is the one that touched me the most. The melody penetrated me. What a sweet feeling it is to be touched in the depths of your being... I experienced this song with tears in my eyes.💚

🎶 𝑩𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒄 is as magical as ever. It's one of the songs I've been waiting for to come back in the setlist. 🤘🏻

🎶 𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕.. it's a song I've loved since I was a kid. The cover by 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨 was a great surprise for me. The live version is just beautiful. The studio version is just a glimpse of what it sounds like live. It's really a thing ! 💕

🎶 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒔 and 𝒔𝒂𝒅 𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒈𝒈𝒂𝒆 are so beautiful and powerful that I think I lost my footing at some point. It was such a beautifully strange feeling. ✨

🎶 For the songs from the previous albums, it was like seeing old friends again... 𝑎ℎ 𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑔𝑖𝑎. 🙂

🟣 I think it was at this point that 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 gave a pick to a staff member to pass it to a child in the audience on 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒂𝒏's side. 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 gave him a the most beautiful and sweetest smile ever.😍 You could read the joy on 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏’s face.

🟣 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 and 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒂𝒏 had a lot of smiles and friendly interactions and it was heartwarming to witness this. 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒂𝒏 repeatedly stood on the small stage in front of the audience and interacted with the people. Of course, 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 didn't exchange a word with the audience but, as far as I'm concerned, I don't need that at all to enjoy their show.

☆ What I did notice though, despite 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏's silence, was that he was far from being disconnected from the audience. On several occasions, while playing his guitar and observing the crowd, I saw him smile succinctly. He wasn't smiling directly at people, no. He had this little satisfied smile on his face as he directed his gaze to the floor or to his instrument. No words were necessary. He too was delighted. 💖

☆ 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒍𝒂 who was right in front of me smiled at the audience as well. I waved her to notified her the concert was great and she waved me back 🙂

🟣 I know that many people didn't like the fact that security used torches to prevent people from taking pictures. As far as I'm concerned, it didn't affect my experience and I even found it quite funny. On several occasions, one of the guys (who was quite big) stood on the foot of the fence, blocking my view. I literally had my head on his stomach. All I wanted to do was hold him and make him dance. 😂 I didn't dare... You have to take things lightly or turn them into something positive. There's no point in getting so upset over so little. Let's just say it's part of the whole thing. 😉

🟣 When 𝑹𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑼𝒑 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑯𝒊𝒍𝒍 started, I couldn't believe that it was already the end of the show. It went by in a flash. But as the saying goes: 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦, 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴.

🟣 At the end of the song, 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 and Stefan played with the feedback for a long time, exchanging looks and smiles.

☆ As 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 approached the audience, he thanked them with gratifying gestures. When he got to the front of the crowd, 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 joined hands and said '𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑘 𝑦𝑜𝑢' in the most respectful and dignified way ever before returning backstage.

☆ 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒂𝒏, on the other hand, stepped onto the small stage and gave a warm salute to the audience and left.

☆ Friday, I saw an exceptional performance by 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨. I had come to experience an incredible moment and I got much better than that. It was closer to transcendence. No more unreal feelings, just stars in my eyes and lasting memories.💗

🎸 I had the opportunity to meet 𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 after the show, they are not only good on stage, they are also funny and incredibly nice. I got a signed copy by the whole band of their CD 𝑂𝑁𝑊𝐴𝑅𝐷𝑆 𝐴 𝐶𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, and it's going to join my music collection.

🎃𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐁𝐎 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐔𝐄
A mesmerizing stage show, a long setlist, a charismatic vocal performance and an unusually mammoth focus on the new album. Before the performance, Placebo fans repeatedly were asked to leave their mobile phones in their pockets for the most interesting experience of the evening, which the whole hall respected. It was so refreshing to go back to the days about fifteen years ago, when people went to concerts to listen and experience them, and not to make low-quality videos on YouTube…

🎃𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐁𝐎 𝐖𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓!
Molko's uniquely colored voice is as powerful and penetrating as on the albums, the accompanying projections sometimes had a hypnotic effect, and at other times they perfectly accompanied the paranoid atmosphere of some songs (Surrounded By Spies), so the result was an extremely intense experience for both the ears and the eyes. Placebo managed to impress their sound with timelessness, they still seems alive and attractive like in the days of Without You I'm Nothing or Black Market Music.

There was basically no need for words, everything was expressed by the songs themselves. Molko himself didn't speak once during the entire evening, but even so, it's not something that should be criticized. The set was built mainly on novelties. Eleven new songs, that's courage and faith in new material. But it worked and the Czech audience knew the lyrics as if they were old classics, and the response on the other side was always incredible.
Some of the best moments of the evening included the album's biggest experiments. The atmospheric Surrounded By Spies sounds absolutely wonderful live, as does the dark Went Missing. On the contrary, a big party broke out with the straightforward singles Beautiful James and Try Better Next Time, when the whole hall sang along.

Dear friends,
on Monday something happened that was absolutely unique and i was there to describe this event to you.


🎃⭐𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐁𝐎'𝐒 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐆𝐈𝐆, 𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐔𝐄 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐⭐🎃

Placebo had a concert planned in Prague as part of their new Never Let Me Go tour.
The moment I saw the date 31 October, I fell right into childish joy. Is this even possible?

⭐𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘣𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 50𝘵𝘩 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭?⭐

I couldn't believe it... And immediately started saving up to buy tickets. I wanted to go to this show with my amazing daughter Katy, who is my Placebo soulmate. We began to look forward to and take notice of the ongoing tour.

Gradually, I felt the growing tension between the fans, who split into two camps – I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Brian insisted more and more on accommodating and respecting his needs, while many fans found this pressure just restrictive and intolerant. I explored the feelings echoing inside me.

The text that is shown at the beginning of every show on this tour... It could be just a few simple words... But I knew it was a glimpse into Placebo's soul.

This long text to me said - 🔹𝘩𝘦𝘺, 𝘸𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘮𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯𝘴.

I realized that this is exactly the Placebo that I love so much.
They could've made the no-phone ordinance two simple words. But they wrote the text so intimately that it couldn't be done more sensitively. That's why my decision was clear - my phone will stay in my pocket for the whole concert. In the end, there was no other option anyway, I was standing right in front of security and in Brian's line of sight.
𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒂 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕.

Time passed, I bought two tickets and all I had to do was look forward to it. I hoped that Prague would be sold out, which it almost was. Just before the concert there were about thirty tickets left.

When D-day came, my first and thankfully only disappointment occurred😊. When Katy and I were thinking about Halloween masks, she came across some very beautiful, subtle red glowing devil's horns in the mall. She managed to buy one last piece for me. But these horns were left forgotten at home and I decided to be maskless.

Katy and I really enjoyed the train ride and we were standing in front of the hall in Prague almost exactly at noon. We weren't the first ones, we got numbers 15 and 16 on our hands from the nice foreign fans, so we could freely leave the entrance to get a coffee. After all, it was 7 hours until the doors opened and we definitely wanted to be in the front row.

The gentlemen in security right in front of us were very nice.
𝘼𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩, 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣'𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙 ⭐𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙕𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙖⭐ 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙪𝙥 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙃𝙖𝙞𝙡 𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙣 𝙏-𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙗𝙤'𝙨 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙛.
These guardian angels kept communicating with us, asking if we were feeling well, offering water. Of course, there were many times during the concert when they would pull out their flashlights to shine on fans trying to take video. I noticed that they weren't so strict on those who just took a quick photo. But on the other hand, they watched very carefully what was going on in the crowd to be able to help immediately.

Opening band DEADLETTER… I openly admit, they did not find the way to my heart. In the flood of grunge/punk style, after the third song I didn't know if I was listening to the first one over and over because the sound was very bad. But that's my very subjective opinion, I don't want to diminish the quality of the band that was chosen to support the rock legend.

As the time for Placebo approached, the atmosphere thickened and the hall was filled almost to capacity. Technicians in Halloween masks😊 were checking all the musical instruments were working properly, so it was something to watch and my heart was jumping with anticipation.
Of course, the whole time the text on the panels above the stage was lit up inviting us to keep our cell phones in our pockets. Everyone had plenty of time to realize what the band was trying to convey.
~🔹~🔹~🔹~

When the technicians disappeared from the stage, we began to call for the start of... We were showing that we couldn't wait any longer. The hall went dark, the first notes of 🔹𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐒🔹 came on... Even though you know the song, nothing prepares you for this live experience. The beginning of this song resonate through your whole body, evoking an atmosphere of unease that makes your heart want to jump out of your body.
⭐𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐁𝐎 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.⭐

In total euphoria, I started crying and had to hug my daughter. It's really happening!
I didn't know who to look at before because 💗𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐧'𝐬 𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐞 was just brilliant and kept catching my eye.

A tall naked transvestite with sky-long legs that any woman could envy. Dressed in a latex corset and leather sexy little briefs, stockings with garters... Huge white beads around his neck, red lipstick on his lips... And on his feet were Stef's favorite Converse sneakers, which were really funny with this outfit.

Yes, I admit, he was a very sexy zombie... When he came in front of me during the first song and connected with my eyes, I felt the whole universe loved me, that's how powerful that moment was for me.

But when the first notes of 🔹𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐂🔹 rang out, I felt immense gratitude for being able to go back that far in my memories and hear this gem live. Tears came to my eyes again and a wave of emotions washed over me.

The technical performance of the show was breathtaking. The videos projected on the panels were graphically very successful, I liked the fact that we don't see just ordinary shots from the stage, but that everything is thematically connected into one colourful psychedelic whole. I appreciated it the most during 🔹𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐘 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐒🔹, I couldn't help but look at the panels accompanying the spirit of this song, just a moment longer and I would be in a trance.

As soon as we saw the white piano brought on stage we started cheering, the song 🔹𝐓𝐎𝐎 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐒🔹 was there, sung en masse as an anthem by most of the fans in the hall.

First of all, ⭐𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐋𝐀 as Samara just came out of the well from the movie The Ring, absolutely brutal horror look, amazing masterpiece.

⭐𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓 drummed the whole concert in a Pennywise mask, hats off to such a performance.

Big ⭐𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐊 embodied the satanic princess, he looked very good in those lacy tights and a dress revealing a manly hairy chest. And

⭐𝐌𝐑. 𝐋𝐎𝐘𝐃 as always modestly in the background, only his face turned green somehow, he didn't look very healthy, more like Frankenstein...

And although I didn't notice it when I arrived because I ran straight to the stage, even the sound guy's booth had Halloween decorations, which I'm sure amused many.

During the growing euphoria of the entire crowd, songs like 🔹𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐍𝐃🔹 and 🔹𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐑𝐀 𝐑𝐄𝐃🔹 came on and it was over before the encore.

There are few times in my life when I've wished I could stop time... This was one of them. The addition of three amazing songs signaled the approaching end of this unique evening.
I don't need to add anything to the cover of 🔹𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐓🔹, it's really an anthem every band could wish for.
Then the hypnotic and for me the absolute best and all-expressive 🔹𝐅𝐈𝐗 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅🔹 and then the song 🔹𝐑𝐔𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐔𝐏 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐋🔹 closed the gate for something I've been waiting 23 years for.

Dear friends,
Believe me, if I could tell you everything I feel, it would be as long as a book. Therefore, I would like to conclude with these few words:

𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬, 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧'𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞, 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚

„lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu, om shanti, shanti, shanti.“
It means,
🕉“𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞. 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞.” 🕉
🙏𝑵𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆, 𝑷𝑳𝑨𝑪𝑬𝑩𝑶☮
