Meaning of Gayatri Mantra
Rishis selected the words of various Mantras and arranged them so that they not only convey meaning but also create specific power through their utterance.

Gayatri Mantra inspires wisdom.

Its meaning is that

"May the Almighty God illuminate our intellect

to lead us along the righteous path".

All the problems of a person are solved if he/she

is endowed with the gift of righteous wisdom.

Once endowed with far-sighted wisdom, a man is neither entangled in calamity nor does he tread the wrong path.
A wise man finds solution to all outstanding problems.
Only those persons who do not think correctly find difficulty and
take wrong steps due to foolishness.

Chanting of Gayatri Mantra removes this deficiency. The teachings and powers incorporated in the Gayatri Mantra fulfill this purpose. Righteous wisdom starts emerging soon after Jap(recitation) of this Mantra is performed.

today's epiphany..................

i'm repeating my un-happinesses based on
someone elses idea of being happy.

...REACTING to how they think i should be

...BELIEVING them when they tell me who i am.

now i feel
the reflection is me

this is the day to change the dream..........

A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don't allow the happy moment, because they're so busy trying to get a happy life.
