Recently I have taken to chanting the Gayatri mantra described as the supreme of all mantras. The Gayatri mantra to me feels like a warm embrace of the mother goddess holding her child in her arms. It soothes, comforts and nurtures my being. It is a heart felt prayer, adoration and invitation to the divine mother to come and nurture our souls with the sweetness of her eternal love.
Om Bhur bhuvah svah
Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo Devasya dheemahi
Dheeyo yonah prachodayaat
Oh Creator of the Universe!
We meditate upon thy supreme splendor.
May thy radiant power illuminate our intellects,
destroy our sins, and guide us
in the right direction!
"Just like the Sun annihilates darkness, so does the Gayatri Mantra destroy ignorance. The Gayatri Mantra invokes the power and radiance of the Sun to energize all earthly life, to destroy our sins and to reveal the Supreme Self to us. Krishna in the Bhagvad Geeta says: ' Amongst the Mantras, I am the Gayatri' "
