GAYATRI MANTRA

We all know the Gayatri Mantra and most of us will be chanting it only once in a year on the day immediately following Aavani Avittam.

GAYATRI MANTRA

Om Bhur Bhuva Suvah
Tat Savithur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
Dhiyo Yonah Prachodayat

Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life,
Remover of pain and sorrow,
The Bestower of happiness,
Oh! Creator of the Universe,
May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light,
May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction.
