1:The Gayatri Mantra is a prayer to the divine light of the Supreme Being, a request for that light to illuminate and guide one's intellect. The core meaning translates to, "We meditate on the divine light of the Supreme Being, who creates and sustains all worlds. May that light illuminate and guide our intellect". It is a plea for wisdom and to remove the darkness of ignorance, and it begins with the invocation "Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah," which addresses the physical, mental, and spiritual realms.
