This week is a little different. A sung mantra for you to connect to the light, the earth and the divine. I hope it brings you some peace, love and calm.

Gayatri Manyra, with C4 crystal singing bowl and voice only.

Om Bhur Bhuvah Svaha

Tat Savitur Varenyam

Bhargo Devasya Diimahi

Diyoyonah Prachodayatt.

Om, or Aum, is regarded as the primal sound of the Universe and points to the Oneness of all.

Bhur – embodiment of vital spiritual energy, earth

Bhuvah – destroyer of suffering

Suvaha (svaha) – embodiment of happiness

Tat – that, in this way

Savitur – Savitri, spiritual sun, the One Light, all pervading Consciousness

Varenyam – worthy of worship, venerable, adorable, worthy of being sought

Bhargo – radiance. Effulgence, splendour, light which bestows understanding, destroyer of sins

Devasya – Divine, of the Deity

Dimahi – we meditate upon; or, may we meditate on, reflect on, be devoted to; or, may imbibe

Dhiyo – prayer, intellect, noble thoughts, intuition, understanding of Reality (buddhis)

Yo – who; he who; the one who

Nah – our; of us

Prachodayaat – may he energize, direct, inspire, guide, unfold; or, he who energizes, directs, inspires, guides unfolds

Putting all of this together, there are still many translations and interpretations.

Here is a literal translation by Christopher Wallis:

Om. Earth. Atmosphere. Heaven.

May we focus our Awareness

on the alluring radiance of the rising (or setting) sun

the Vivifier; may it inspire our thoughts and meditations.
