New Post (96) : The MOTHER of all Mantras !
The GAYATRI mantra.
Sanskrit: [in the original]
Om bhoor bhuvah svah |
Tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi |
Dhiyo yo nah pracho dayat ||
Hindi: [an interpretation]
Tu ne hamen utpanna kiya. Paalan kar rahaa hai tu.
Tujh se hee paate praana ham. Dukhi yon ke kashta hartaa hai tu.
Tera mahaan teja hai, chhaaya hua sabhi sthan.
Srishti ki vastu vastu mein tu ho rahaa vidya maan.
Teraa hi dharte dhyaana ham, maangte hain teri dayaa
Ishvara hamaari budhi ko, sreshtha maarga par chalaa.
English: [an interpretation]
Ishwara is cause of our existence and is dearer to us than our life. He ever keeps all his devotees deserving final emancipation and striving for it, aloof from all evil and gives them their desired bliss in ‘this’ very earthly life. He permeates the whole universe, keeps all beings under control and is abode of all. We should entertain him in our souls with the utmost love and devotion. He is the creator of the whole universe and the bestower of power upon his devotees. He is the illuminator of the souls of all and imparter of all bliss. He is, most acceptable, and he is pure intelligence. May he always safeguard our intellectual faculties from all evil that we might otherwise fall into, and lead them on to do only what is good.
Charlie Brown
