A Very Happy New Year
to readers of this blog.

I really can't put it any better than the Gayatri Mantra; revered by both Buddhists and Hindus worldwide, it's considered to be a supreme vehicle for gaining spiritual understanding.

Om Bhur Bhuvah Swah, Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi, Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat
ॐ भूर्भुव: स्व: तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं । भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि, धीयो यो न: प्रचोदयात् ।।


A basic translation is given as...

Oh God, the Protector, the basis of all life, Who is self-existent, Who is free from all pains and Whose contact frees the soul from all troubles, Who pervades the Universe and sustains all, the Creator and Energizer of the whole Universe, the Giver of happiness, Who is worthy of acceptance, the most excellent, Who is Pure and the Purifier of all, let us embrace that very God, so that He may direct our mental faculties in the right direction.

For a more detailed interpreteation, see Eaglespace.

There, too, you will see a more explicit description of That Which Cannot be Described or Explained, ie the G-word as mentioned in my last post.


Here is a video of the Gayatri Mantra as chanted.







Simply beautiful. A fine beginning
to the New Year.

It is a morning mantra, repeated preferably to the rising sun, and so well in keeping with the prologue to Sons of Gods, when Surya the Sungod appears to Kunti



Which, incidentally, is launched today.
