Gayatri Japa
Let us all make a commitment to start our day early, pray deeply and live divinely.
What: Join us for a 21 day Meditation on the Gāyatrī Mantra guided by Brni. Shubhani Chaitanya. In addition to Gayatri Mantra, this session will focus on meditation on the mantras depicting Surya Devata from the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. This will slowly take us to the journey of contemplating on the inner Self.
When: 6:30am ET starting on Monday, February 7th 2022 – Ratha Saptami (Birthday of Surya Devata). This is an opportunity to continue our sadhana continuously for 21 days until February 27th. After that, we will do a weekly meditation follow up every Sunday morning.
Where: All sessions will be conducted online on Zoom.
Who: Open to All. Anyone who is interested may register. Children may attend if they are able to sit quietly during the entire duration of the meditation.

Gāyatrī Mantra – A prayer to Lord Sūrya to brighten our intellect
ॐ भूर् भुवः स्वः
तत् सवितुर्वरेण्यं
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि
धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥
oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ suvaḥ
tat savitur vareṇyam
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt ॥
OM, That which pervades earth, the sky, the heavens;
That divine effulgence we all adore
We contemplate on your divine glory. Please brighten our intellect.
