We meditate on the glory of the Creator;
Who has created the Universe;
Who is worthy of Worship;
Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light;
Who is the remover of all Sin and Ignorance;
May He enlighten our Intellect.
Gayatri

necessity in today's stress full life. Here are some example from
various famous personalities:
William Quan Judge
"Unveil, O Thou who givest sustenance to the Universe, from whom
all proceed, to whom all must return, that face of the True Sun
now hidden by a vase of golden light, that we may see the truth
and do our whole duty on our journey to thy sacred seat."
Swami Vivekananda
"'We meditate on the glory of that Being who has produced this
universe; may He enlighten our minds.' Om is joined to it at the
beginning and the end."
Gayatri Pariwar
"O God, Thou art the giver of life, the remover of pain and
sorrow, the bestower of happiness; O Creator of the Universe, may
we receive Thy supreme, sin destroying light; may Thou guide our
intellect in the right direction."
