Gayatri from Saraswati Dreams by Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda Das
Traditional Mantra
Melody and Musical Arrangement by Ananda Yogiji
The darkness of ignorance dissipates completely as white golden light fills the air. Everything around us begins to shimmer and sparkle like diamonds. We are now entering the consciousness of the Goddess Gayatri, where pure light and sound merge. We invoke the Gayatri Mantra as the essence of the Vedas according to the ancient rishis (masters). This mantra calls for amrita (divine nectar) to fall from the higher planes of consciousness to this one. It connects us to the eternal light of our divine intelligence, filling our every cell with the radiance of divine light. We are able to comprehend our place in the universe and the part we play in this life. Reciting this mantra while gazing into the setting sun, our divine potential is opened up to us as we offer ourselves fully to each majestic moment.

Lyrics
Om Bhur Bhuva Svah Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi Dhiyo yo Nah Prachodyat
May our intellect (Dhiyo) bear (Dhimahi) that Supreme Consciousness which embodies and protects the vital-spiritual energies (Bhur), eliminates suffering (Bhuvah), embodies happiness (Svah), and that (Tat) self-luminous divine brilliance and ultimate creative source (Savitur), the best of the best, most virtuous (Varenyam). Potential cleanser of all our imperfections (Bhargo)—aggregation of all divine virtues and strengths (Devasya). We pray to propel (Prachodayat) our intellect (Dhiyo) on the divine-righteous path to unfold spiritual potentiality and enlightenment.
