Om Bhur Bhuvaḥ Swaḥa Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ Bhargo Devasya Dhīmahi Dhiyo Yonaḥ Prachodayāt

The eternal, earth, air, heaven That glory, that resplendence of the sun May we contemplate the brilliance of that light May the sun inspire our minds. **Translation by Douglas Brooks

The Gayatri mantra first appeared in the Rig Veda, an early Vedic text written between 1800 and 1500 BCE. It is mentioned in the Upanishads as an important ritual and in the Bhagavad Gita as the poem of the Divine. The mantra is a hymn to Savitur, the sun god. The sun in the mantra represents both the physical sun and the Divine in all things. The first is to give back to the sun. The sun gives but never receives; the mantra is a gift back to the sun, an offering of gratitude to refuel the sun's gracious offering. The second purpose is to seek wisdom and enlightenment. The mantra is a request to the sun: May we meditate upon your form and be illumined by who you are? (Consider that the sun offers its gift of illumination and energy to all beings, without judgment and without attachment to the outcome of the gift.) Finally, the mantra is an expression of gratitude, to both the life-giving sun and the Divine.

'Once we recognize that darkness and unconsciousness are the same thing, and all that is considered bad or evil in this world is just unconsciousness, we can begin to see the value of bringing light into the mind.'
