The beautiful Gayatri Mantra- the mother of all mantras. If youve time, have a listen as you start the day- in the bath, on your journey to work etc. This mantra seems complicated at first but the more you listen to it, the more parts of it start to resonate in your subconscious mind until it becomes part if you. Heres some information, but if you dont have time to read it, listen to the mantra anyway! Best to do it than study it or talk about it. The Gayatri Mantra has been chronicled in the Rig Veda, which was written in Sanskrit about 2500 to 3500 years ago, and the mantra may have been chanted for many centuries before that. It is chanted, meditated to, and sung around the world with reverence and love. It is often compared to The Lord’s Prayer in significance and impact. The beautiful and soothing ancient sounds, the flowing rhythmic patterns, and the powerful intent make the Gayatri Mantra a wonderful part of one’s daily spiritual practice. Because it is an earnest and heartfelt appeal to the Supreme Being for enlightenment, it can be universally applied. It really doesn’t matter what your religion, your color or your ethnicity is – what matters is your intent, and your authenticity, and your willingness to be moved. It is said that this sacred prayer spirals through the entire universe from the heart of the chanter, appealing for peace and divine wisdom for all. The Gayatri Mantra inspires wisdom in us. In very basic but beautiful language, it says May the divine light of the Supreme Being illuminate our intellect, to lead us along a path of righteousness. The Vedas say: To chant the Gayatri Mantra purifies the chanter. To listen to the Gayatri Mantra purifies the listener. But the mantra does more- It opens up your heart. And how well we know, when both our minds and our hearts open, we open ourselves up for new possibilities. “OM BUHR, BHUVA, SWAHA OM TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM BHARGO DEVASYA DHEEMAHI DHIYO YONAHA PRACHODAYAT” 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 Sin and Ignorance; May He open our hearts and enlighten our Intellect.
