Gayatri Mantra - Translation

Monday 1 November 2004.
 
O Earth! O Air! O Splendid bright space! O Abundance of Glory! O Cause of Creation! O Fire of devotion! O Absolute Truth!
 
O Ye Earth! O Ye Spaces! O Ye Heavens!
 
May we attain that desired radiance of the (Creator) God Savitri. And may He inspire our prayers and stimulate our intelligence.
 
All reverence to that all-pervading holiness which penetrates all the waters, all the stars, the life essence and death.
 
Amen. O Earth! O Air! O Ye Heavenly Spaces!
The word Rasa, I have translated as Life essence but it also has a sense of humanity and of relish as well as of Dharma, of Laws, seasonal change and mortality.
