Gāyatrī Mantra

ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः ।
तत् सवितुर्वरेण्यं ।
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि ।
धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥

We meditate on the glory of that Being who has produced this universe; may He enlighten our minds.

—Swami Vivekananda

May we attain that excellent glory of Savitar the god:
So may he stimulate our prayers.

oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tat savitur vareṇyaṃ
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt
