Lyrics

om bhur bhuvah svah
tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dhimahi
dhiyo yo nah pracodayat

TRANSLATION:
Earth Atmosphere Heavens.
We meditate on the sacred light
of the effulgent source.
Let that inspire
our thoughts.

(The Gayatri is considered one of the most powerful of all mantras. I feel that it brings me face to face with the ineffable mystery of life: here we are in the manifest world and in the very same moment in the greater reality of our being as the Self. I also feel that I'm chanting the Gayatri for all beings-praying that all beings may be illuminated.)
