Vedic Sanskrit Chant - OM - Gayatri Mantra for Meditation

The Gayatri Mantra is a highly revered mantra in Hinduism. It is found in all four Vedas. Gayatri is seen as a Divine awakening of the mind and soul, and within it a way to reach the most Supreme form of existence, and the way to Union with Brahman. Understanding, and purely loving the essence of the Gayatri Mantra is seen by many to be one, if not the most powerful ways to attain God. Krishna declares in the Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Lord) that of mantras, He is Gayatri.

* Gayatri Mantra in Sanskrit:
ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः ।
तत् सवितुर्वरेण्यं ।
भर्गो देवस्य धीमही ।
धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥

* Gayatri Mantra transliteration:
om bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tat savitur vareṇyaṃ
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt

* Gayatri Mantra means:
"Oh God, the giver of life, remover of pains and sorrows, bestower of happiness and creator of the universe You are most luminous, pure and adorable. We meditate on Thee. May You inspire and illumine our ntellect that we may perform noble and virtuous actions".

* Gayatri Mantra translation by my friend http://www.youtube.com/user/OmBhuvah
---Throughout the experience of life
THAT essential nature
illuminating existence
is the adorable ONE.
May all beings perceive
through subtle and mediative intellect
the brilliance of enlightened awareness.

---DAS,was durch die Erfahrungen des Lebens hindurch unsere Existenz beleuchtet,
das ist das verehrungswürdige EINE.
Mögen alle Wesen durch einen subtilen und meditativen Verstand die Großartigkeit des erleuchteten Bewußtseins erfahren.

@MrCarolynMadrid eat some magic mushrooms and take some LSD, and the answers will come to you more clearly from within. And you will find what truly satisfies you and watch as you return to the original you.
