RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

The Gayatri Mantram — Part 1

Enjoy a revered mantram which leads to higher wisdom

The Gayatri Mantram is a set of syllables, concepts and words which can free us to realize who we truly are. It invokes vidya, a powerful gathering force which lifts and unites us with the Creator. Discover how chanting the Gayatri Mantram can lead to an awareness of higher wisdom and soul.

Go Farther with Meditation, Mantram

Translation of the Gayatri

Let us meditate on Ishvara and His glory (the true self, the Infinite Spirit, as It expresses in us), Who has created this universe, Who is fit to be worshipped, Who is the remover of sins and ignorance. May He enlighten our buddhi (sense of self). May our self-identification be awareness of Spirit.

Om Bhur Bhuvaha Svah
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi
Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
