Shanti is repeated thrice since it is chanted for peace in the body, mind, and spirit. It is also chanted thrice to make the past, present and future peaceful.

When Shanti is chanted the first time, it purifies the body and relieves it from the sufferings, diseases, and discomforts. The body is thus refreshed.

When you chant it for the second time, an incomparable feeling of peace lands on the mind and the mind is relieved of its negative feelings, worries, stresses, and tensions.
