Meditation: The Gayatri Mantra, with Deva Premal and Miten

OM Bhûr Bhuvah Svah

Tat Savitur Varenyam

Bhargo Devasya Dhîmahi

Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat

Pranaam. Gayatri Mantra is in honour of Sun. Written in Rigaved, Originally called ‘ Savitr’ Mantr, Savitr is Sanskrit name for Sun. How the name became Gayatri Mantra is not known. Perhaps because it has a 24 Syllables structure (Sanskrit/Vedic grammar calls such hymns – gayatri). Literal meaning:

Om (The life word or the cosmic sound, should emanate from Navel)

Bhur-one who has given life, Bhuvah-one who destroys sorrow

Swaha – brings joy

Tat- that

Savitur – glorious like sun

varenyam – the best (incomparable)

Bhargo – hindi meaning “uddhaar karne wala” closest english ‘ leads to salvation’

devasya – hey prabhu

dhimahi – worthy of self introspection (atma-chintan, or look inwards towards soul)

dhiyo yo nah prachodayat – “O life giving, sorrow remover, who gives joy and happiness, there is no one like whom, who provides salvation to the soul, pray give us strength, intellect and ability to look into our own soul”

As with most of Sanskrit text more than one meaning can be assigned due to the nature of sanskrit grammar. Also many things are difficult to translate exactly in english from Hindi or sankrit, However, In matters of love and devotion, meaning is always secondary, what matters is “bhav” or the feeling generated within self. Feeling, compassion is the Core in Bhakti (Bhakti-Bhav).
