GAYATRI MANTRA:
Oṃ Bhūr Bhuvaḥ Svaḥ
Tat Savitúr Vareṇ(i)yaṃ
Bhargo Devasya Dhīmahi
Dhíyo Yó Naḥ Pracodayāt!
Meaning:
God is dear to me like my own breath. He is the dispeller of my pains, and giver of happiness.
I meditate on the supremely adorable Light of the Divine Creator, that it may inspire my thought and understanding!
