Words:
Om
bhûr bhuva suvaha
tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dhîmahi
dhiyo yo naha prachodayât
Translation by S. Krishnamurthy:
We meditate upon the radiant Divine Light
of that adorable Sun of Spiritual Consciousness;
May it awaken our intuitional consciousness.
Translation by Sai Baba:
We contemplate the glory of Light
illuminating the three worlds:
gross, subtle, and causal.
I am that vivifying power, love, radiant illumination,
and divine grace of universal intelligence.
We pray for the divine light to illumine our minds.
Meaning of the individual words:
Om: the primeval sound
