gāyatrī -2-

the Gāyatrī Mantra
is dedicated to Savitr, a Vedic Sun deity
off-spring of mother goddess Aditi

oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ

tat savitur vareṇyaṃ
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ prachodayāt

[Rigveda 3.62.10]

translation of Vivekananda:

'we meditate on the glory
of that Being who has produced this universe
may He enlighten our minds'


bhur, bhuvah, svaha
stands for the three worlds:
- earth, heaven, inner space
- earth, planets/solar system, galaxy
- gross/physical, subtle/psychical, potential/causal
- existence, consciousness, bliss

tat savitur varenyam 
that sungod, supreme worshipable

bhargo devasya dheemahi 
divine light we meditate upon

dhiyo yo nah prachodayat 
the mind we all have, enlighten it
