The meanings of Gayatri Mantra [Oh, Creator of the Universe! We meditate upon thy supreme splendour. May thy radiant power illuminate our intellects, destroy our sins, and guide us in the right direction] Of all the Mantras of hindu Spiritual lore, there is none considered more exalted than the Gayatri Mantra. It is addressed to the divine life-giver as supreme God, symbolised in Savita, the Sun.The Gayatri is thus not only the symbol of light and the epiphany of light, but light itself. Properly chanted, it produces the harmony and peace which result when forces of the Divine, the Human and the Cosmic find themselves locked in embrace

          




Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti
