Gayatri mantra

Energy is the source of life. Since the inception of human civilization , the vastness of this universe gives us the concept of infinity. All along the history of human civilization, the Sun has been the ultimate source of energy, commanding our gratitude, reverence and awe. Mankind has always drawn immense inspiration and courage from the Sun. The rhythm of day and night, tantalization of ocean movement, rotation of seasons, blooming of buds, the cycle of life and death - everything ultimately depends on the Sun- the Surya devata - the supreme source. But beyond the physical harnessing of solar energy lies the ultimate mysteries of life – the Gayatri. She is the light behind the sun, the spirit within the fire, the mother of the whole Universe. We are privileged to utter, chant and rejoice in the radiance of the supreme Gayatri mata. The Veda janani.

As the sages of yore used to say, Gayatri mata, my thousand crore prayers to you.

Bless us all with divine light!

Show us all, the right way to virtue, happiness, light and love.
