[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] Gayathri Mantram

[Guest guest]

Gayatri Mantra Aum Bhur Bhuva Svah Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi Dhiyo Yo Naha Prachodayat Om, we meditate (dhimahi) on the spiritual effulgence (bhargas) of that adorable Supreme Divine Reality (varenyam devasya), the source or projector (savitr) of the three phenomenal world planes the gross or physical (bhuh) the subtle or psychical (bhuvah) and the potential or causal (suvah), both macro-cosmically or externally and micro-cosmically or internally. May the Supreme Divine Being

(Tat) stimulate (prachodayat) our (nah) intellect (dhiyah), so that we may realise the Supreme Truth. The presiding deity of the Gayatri Mantra is Lord Sun. Gayatri is personified as a goddess, the consort of Brahma (Sarasvati), and mother of the Vedas. The Gayatri Mantra is never chanted for the purposes of material gains, physical or otherwise. Its very invocation concludes with an appeal to the pure Consciousness to illumine more our heart-mind. It is a prayer unto the Self to unveil itself and come to manifest as pure wisdom in our life. The Gayatri Mantra is one of the oldest available Divine hymns. In the ancient Vedic literature, this mantra is dedicated to the deity Sun. It has actually been observed that by the repetition of this Gayatri Mantra with the right understanding of its sacred

meaning, the ordinary negative tendencies in the human mind can be erased out to a large extent. It is believed that for any one frightened in the dark, immediate chanting of the Gayatri Mantra is advised to get over the nervousness of the fright.
