Gayatri Mantra

The Gayatri Mantra Om Bhuh Bhuvassuvah Om Tat Saviturvarenyam Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat. (Rig Veda) May there be peace on mortal, immortal, and divine planes. I meditate upon the most brilliant splendor of the Sun God. May he stimulate our intellect (so that we are inspired to take the right action at the right time). The Gayatri Mantra is really a universal mantra that is extremely popular and powerful as it is about harmony and the highest spiritual attainment for all of existence.
