The Upanishads have Shanthi mantras and each of the shanthi mantras conclude with Om Shanthi, Shanthi, Shanthihi.
Why do we ask for shanthi three times in each shanthi mantra???? Is there any significance in doing so????
There are three kinds of Pida (Afflictions) that we humans are to face, Adhyatmika, Adhibhutika and Adhidaivika.
Adhyatmika are problems that are related to one's own self. These maybe physical and mental issues that one person has to deal within himself like diseases, anger, frustrations, emotions etc.
Adhibhutika is imposed on one due to circumstances involving people maybe his family members, relatives or friends and events that come as part of one's Prarabdha karma like accidents, human contacts, pollution, crime etc.
Adhidaivika are those beyond our control which may affect whole of the society in which we live including us such as Tsunami, Earthquake, Volcanoes, and such Natural Calamities.
We humans are very intelligent we have strength to monitor the natural calamities and give us updated of such event in prior but destiny will deceive us and bring disaster with death with it. Humans are indeed doing their part very well but the mother nature has her own say.

So while reciting Upanishad mantras there are the Shanthi mantras which request the Providence
May the people of Nepal and affected area get the strength to overcome this disaster, and let us pray it may not repeat again
OM SHANTHI SHANTHI SHANTHIH !!!!
