SANSKRIT : THE POWER OF MANTRA
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.
