 A universal prayer. Aum Bhuh Bhuvah Svah Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yo nah Prachodayat ~ The Rig Veda (10:16:3) The Gayatri mantra is a sacred and powerful Vedic chant. It was a guarded secret among the wise elders of the Himalayas until relatively recently when the world was more able to receive it. The prayer acknowledges and gives gratitude for all existence, life force and Consciousness. Gayatri then offers a meditation on the vast Illumination which is the Divine Intelligence that pervades the universe. She asks that the light in our heart be awakened by this vast Light to ignite and inspire our understanding and therefore our actions. It is the Mother of mantras. Beautiful. Invoking the chant can be invigorating, grounding, nourishing, insightful, freeing, deeply releasing and much more. Deva Premal (button below) sings one of many versions of the mantra. I sing along or chant unaccompanied and the mantra becomes my prayer, my meditation. And so it is.

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store.
