›Meaning
The Gayatri Mantra invokes Savitr, the sun deity as the giver of light and life, across the three realms (bhur, bhuvah, swah — earth, atmosphere, heaven). It asks that we meditate on that most excellent divine radiance, and that it awaken and guide our intellect. Found in the Rigveda, it is considered one of the most universal and important mantras in Hindu tradition, recited at dawn, midday and dusk.
