Meaning of Gayatri Mantra

Hinduism is very deeply rooted in nature. The most sacred Gayatri Mantram is an astounding wake up call to each one of us to meditate everyday on the wonder and splendor of nature. Only the understanding of nature can truly enlighten us.

Earth, sky and waters ..
“OM BUHR, BHUVA, SWAHA
TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM
BHARGO DEVASYA DHEEMAHI
DHIYO YONAHA PRACHODAYAT”

Oh earth, sky and the waters  (ie the 3 worlds bhuh, bhuvaha, suvaha)
That glorious radiating light of the sun 
We meditate upon the splendor of the divine
May this illuminate us with an understanding of reality.
