VEDIC PRAYER Translation by Dr. Sudhir Anand

This mantra is called Gayatri (chant or sing) mantra because it’s chanting or singing with devotion, reflection on its meaning, and adoption of the message in one’s life leads to salvation, and attainment of God and bliss. This is the first and most common mantra from the Vedas learned by most Hindus. This mantra is included in three of the four Vedas. It is recited and chanted both as a daily prayer as well as on special occasions. The word Om, and this mantra are commonly used for silent chanting during yoga meditation. In this mantra God is described as the Supreme Being who gives us everything such as life, happiness and when we become deserving ultimately gives us bliss. [Read More] |
