The Gayatri Mantra
From the mantra Om develops the Gayatri mantra, a longer mantra or chant. Its translation is:
"Om, We meditate upon the adorable effulgence of the Divine Creative
Sun that he may give impulse to our intelligence."
The Divine Creative Sun is Savitar, the Divine Father and guide of the
yogic movement of life. He is a form of Vishnu.
This mantra is chanted by the twice-born, those reborn in the truth of
the unity of consciousness, at the rising and setting of the Sun. It
is for celebrating the miracle of Divine light outwardly and inwardly
and aligning our intelligence with the evolutionary power inherent in
nature.
