The meaning of the Gayatri Mantra
We contemplate the glory of Light illuminating the three worlds: gross, subtle, and causal.
I am that vivifying power, love, radiant illumination, and divine grace of universal intelligence.
We pray for the divine light to illumine our minds.
The Gayatri is the oldest known Prayer and is written in Sanskrit one of the
Mother Languages of Humanity. It is said to Protect the Body, Illumine the Intellect, Improve
the Power of Speech, Light your Path, and Santify your Life when it is recited with the correct
accent and rhythm. It is Essential to achieve Harmony in Thought, Word, and Deed.
