#365Yoga Day 37 - Gayatri Mantra


Om Bhur Bhuva Swaha
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi
D'Yo Yona Prachodhyat

Earth, Mid-heaven, Heaven!
Let us meditate on that most
Excellent light of divine Sun
That it may illuminate our Minds

  1. I feel like this chant sings my soul. There is a long version that I chant in the morning:

    Om Bhur
    Om Bhuvah
    Om Swaha
    Om Maha
    OM Jnanaha
    OM Tapaha
    Om Satyam
    Tat Savitur Varenyam
    Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi
    Dhiyo Yonaha Prachodayat

    I found the long form in Thomas Ashley-Ferrand's book Chakra Mantras.
