	#~~redirect~~ [[~~Gāyatrī~~]]		The '''Gayatri''' (Sanskrit: गायत्री, ''gāyatrī'') is a Vedic hymn personifying Hindu goddess Gayatri.

			According to [[I. K. Taimni]], the power of the Gāyatrī mantra “can be invoked and utilized for the unfoldment of human consciousness and for attaining the ultimate goal of human effort—Self-realization. It is an integral part of the daily practice of the Hindus.

			== Translation and transliteration ==

			The first seven lines reference the seven planes of human existence. The remainder of the mantra says:
			“We meditate upon the Divine Light of that adorable Sun of spiritual Consciousness which stimulates our power of spiritual perception. Om is the Waters, Light, Essence, the Immortal, Reality; the physical, intermediate and heaven worlds is Om.”

			Here is the transliteration of the Sanskrit:

			:: Oṃ bhūḥ
			:: Oṃ bhuvaḥ
			:: Oṃ suvaḥ
			:: Oṃ mahaḥ
			:: Oṃ janaḥ
			:: Oṃ tapaḥ
			:: Oṃ satyam
			:: Oṃ tat savitur vareṇyam bhargo devasya dhīmahi
			:: dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt
			:: Om āpo jyotī raso ‘mṛtaṃ Brahma
			:: bhūr bhuvaḥ suvar Om

			The entire mantra is chanted on three notes. It begins on the middle note and subsequent syllables are either on the same note, one step up or one step down. Short vowels are pronounced similarly to the same short vowels in English. Long vowels are indicated by a bar (macron) over them. ī is pronounced as in heat and ū as in boot. ḥ is a slight out-breathing or aspirate sound. c is pronounced ch.
