Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 The Gayatri Mantra may be rendered in Tamil script as follows: In English script, it has been rendered as follows: OMBHUR BHUVA SVAHATAT SAVITUR VARENYAMBHARGO DEVASYA DHEEMAHIDHIYO YONAH PRACHODAYAT The words may be translated loosely as follows: OM - para bramma BHUR - bho loka (physical plane) - it also refers to the body made up of the five pancha bhutas (5 elements). These five elements constitute prakriti (nature)BHUVA - bhuva loka - the middle world. Bhuva is also prana sakthi. However it is the presence of Prajnana that enables the prana sakthi to animate the body. It is on this account that the vedas have declared 'prajnanam brahma' (constant integrated awareness is Brahman).SVAHA - swarga loka (heaven - the land of the gods)TAT - paramatma, god SAVITUR - that from which all is bornVARENYAM - fit to be worshippedBHARGO - the radiance, the spiritual efflugence, the light that bestows wisdomDEVASAYA - divine realityDHEEMAHI - we meditateDHI - buddhi, intellectYO - whichNAH - ourPRACHODAYAT - enlighten Never miss a thing.
