Gãyatrî Mantra:

Om Bhűr Bhuvah Svah
Om Tat Savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhïmahi
Dhiyo yo nah prachodayãt

Oh, Creator of the Universe
May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light
May thou guide our intellect in the right direction...Om

This album begins with an invocation of Gayatri,
the personified Mother of the Vedas,
associated with the sun. The ancient Vedas,
Sanskrit for 'knowledge', are the most sacred books of
Hinduism and the oldest literature of India.
The Pranayam Mantra follows. This Mantra is used for
the control of your breathing and is said to open up our
being to receive the energising effulgence of the Sun.
After a short explanation of the Gayatri Mantra,
the seed sound 'Om' is chanted three times to welcome
the divine power.
The Gayatri Mantra is then chanted in chorus for
one rosary or mala: 108 times.
The album ends with a aarati or prayer, thus fulfilling
the three stages of the bhakti or devotion:
visualisation, meditation and prayer.
