Gâyatri Mantra

Gâyatrî Mantra

We meditate on the glory of the Creator;
Who has created the Universe;
Who is worthy of Worship;
Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light;
Who is the remover of all Sin and Ignorance;
May He enlighten our Intellect.

Om is bhûr, Om is bhuvas, Om is suvaha... Om is everything

bhûr

bhuvas

suvaha

om bhûhû

om bhuvaha

om suvaha

om mahaha

om janaha

om tapaha

om satyaM

bhûhû - earth, the physical world
bhuvaha - astral/desire/breath, the world of becoming
suvaha - mental, the world of thinking
mahaha - causal, silent mind, the world of emotion
janaha - world of creative generation
tapaha - world of intuition
satyaM - world of Absolute Truth

om tat savitur vareNyaM

bhargo devasya dhîmahi

dhiyo yo nah prachodayât

A succinct and delightful translation of the Gâyatrî Mantra by S. Krishnamurthy is:

We meditate upon the radiant Divine Light
of that adorable Sun of Spiritual Consciousness;
May it awaken our intuitional consciousness.

bhûr bhuvas suvar om
Om âpo jyotih rasomritam brahma
bhûr bhuvas suvar om

Om, the Water, the Light, the very Essence in which we exist, the Absolute, the physical world, the astral realm, the mental realm, all are Om.

Quotes from various Upanishads describing the nature of Om:

I will give you the Word all the scriptures glorify and which all spiritual disciplines express, to attain which aspirants lead of a life of sense-restrain and selflessness. It is Om. This symbol of Brahman is the highest. Realizing it, one finds complete fulfillment of all one's longings. It is of the greatest support to all seekers.

Katha Unpanishad (I, ii, 15-17)

Take the great bow of the sacred scriptures, place on it the arrow of devotion; then draw the bowstring of meditation, and aim at the target, the Lord of Love. Om is the bow, the soul is the arrow, and Brahman is called its target. Now draw the bowstring of meditation and hitting the target, be One with It.

Mundaka Upanishad (II, ii, 3-4)

Fire is not seen until one firestick rubs across another, though the fire is still there, hidden. So does Brahman remain hidden until being revealed by the mantram Om. Let your body be the lower firestick and the mantram Om be the upper. Rub them against each other in meditation and realize Brahman.

Shvetashvatara Upanishad (1, 13-14)

Create your own unique rendering:

For example, here is my current rendering:

We meditate upon the Divine Radiance,
that One Light which deserves our worship,
the One whose noble thought energizes and directs our awakening.

Comment by Béatrice LATEUR LACROIX on November 21, 2012 at 1:18pm: Love and Peace for all Beings.

Comment by Ravishankar.G on November 10, 2012 at 1:58am: In spiritual life, never go in for a second opinion. Good or bad, stick to one belief and develop unshakeable faith. When a trouble befalls you, it is only to test your faith. Win over it by your faith on God. He will never let you down....

Comment by Isabelle Cyr on October 26, 2012 at 9:36pm: So peaceful...

Namaste!

(And I agree, Eva is an angel, and so are you Béatrice! There are so many suns here!)

May all the Beings be released from sufferance,

May they all be free and safe, and may they all live in the deepest and the purest peace!

Comment by Eva Libre on October 23, 2012 at 4:39am: This is the inside picture of Shri Vaishno Devi Mandir, one of the holy Hindu temples dedicated to Shakti, located in the hills of Vaishno Devi, Jammu and Kashmir, India. Vaishno Devi, also known as Mata Rani and Vaishnavi, is a manifestation of the Mother Goddess Durga.

The temple is near the town of Katra, in the Reasi district in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It is one of the most revered places of worship in India. The shrine is at an altitude of 5300 feet and a distance of approximately 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from Katra. Approximately 8 million pilgrims (yatris) visit the temple every year and it is the second most visited religious shrine in India, after Tirumala Venkateswara Temple. The Sri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board maintains the shrine.

Comment by Béatrice LATEUR LACROIX on March 8, 2012 at 9:28am: « If you buy any machine, once you have read the instructions and you know how to operate it, you will not keep on reading the instructions, will you ? You will follow them pratically. Likewise, having read the basics of spirituality, it is common sense to put them into practice and not keep on reading the isntructions over and over again for your entire lifetime. »

You cannot touch the same water twice,

because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

Enjoy every moment of life.
