Gaiyatri Mantra (Miền Tỉnh Thức - Mindful Living Land - Thầy Minh Niệm)

Up to 200 of us Vipassana practitioners gather and chant the Gaiyatri Mantra collectively this weekend to commence our Restival Month in the Mindful Living Land ☮️ 🕊️

Om, is regarded as the primal sound of the Universe and points to the Oneness of all.

Bhur – embodiment of vital spiritual energy, earth

Bhuvah – destroyer of suffering

Svaha – embodiment of happiness

Tat – that, in this way

Savitur – Savitri, spiritual sun, the One Light, all pervading Consciousness

Varenyam – worthy of worship, venerable, adorable, worthy of being sought

Bhargo – radiance. Effulgence, splendour, light which bestows understanding, destroyer of sins

Devasya – Divine, of the Deity

Dimahii – we meditate upon; or, may we meditate on, reflect on, be devoted to

Dhiyo – prayer, intellect, noble thoughts, intuitions, understanding of Reality

Yo – who; he who; the one who

Nah – our; of us

Prachodayaatt – may he energise, direct, inspire, guide, unfold; or, he who energizes, directs, inspires, guides unfolds

Putting all of this together, there are still many translations and interpretations.

Here is a literal translation by Christopher Wallis:

Om. Earth. Atmosphere. Heaven.

May we focus our Awareness
on the alluring radiance of the rising (or setting) sun
the Vivifier; may it inspire our thoughts and meditations.

One of our favourites is given by Donna Farhi:

Everything on earth, in between and above
Is arising from one effulgent source.
If my thoughts, words and deeds reflected this complete understanding of unity,
I would be the peace I am seeking in this moment.

Or the playful interpretation of Richard Miller:

Everything is light, this is light , that is light, we are all light, light light light....

Gaiyatri Mantra - được lấy từ Kinh Veda và được phổ giai điệu khoảng tầm 2500-3500 trước.
