I read somewhere – ‘A man is the product of his faith, whatever is his faith, that verily he is.’ I ‘tick-start’ my day by chanting in bed before I am actually out of bed. During the day, while reading, working, walking, I like to give a break by reciting the Gayatri Mantra. An as extension, I will take the harmonium, pressings its basic notes to give me support and fix my heart and mind to singing without consideration of time: Gayatri Mantra. For me, the energy and joy I derive by singing the Maha Mantra is a winner of all wealths!
Om bhur bhuvah swah
Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasya deemahi
Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat
The literal meaning of Gayatri Mantra is the following:
O! God! You are Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Almighty. You are all knowledge and Bliss. You are Destroyer of Fear. You are Creator of this Universe. You are the Greatest of all. We bow and meditate upon Your Light. You guide our Intellect in the right direction.
