Origin & Story

The Gayatri mantra of Surya Dev (the Sun God) · Traditional (Vedic)

Beyond the universal Gayatri Mantra, the Vedic tradition gives each great deity its own Gayatri — a prayer in the sacred Gayatri meter calling upon that deity to illumine the intellect. The Surya Gayatri Mantra invokes Surya Dev (the Sun God), the giver of health, vitality, confidence, success and authority, in the timeless pattern "Vidmahe… Dhimahi… Prachodayat" — "may we know, may we meditate, may the Lord inspire our minds." Chanted at the sandhya hours, it is a complete and gentle daily sadhana.
