Light of Your Grace
This is a sacred song that I often return to when I wish to immerse myself in the spiritual awareness of who we really are. It primarily contains the words of the Gayatri Mantra - one of the oldest prayers (5000 yrs old!).
Ready to begin?
Here is the Gayatri Mantra:
Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
Dhiyo Yo nah Prachodayat
And this is mixed with the following refrain:
I feel light - lighting our way home
I see light - essence of our soul
I am light - in my heart I know
We are light - together we are whole
The Gayatri Mantra is a prayer from the ancient Indian text, the Rig Veda. It is dedicated to the aspect of the sun (or supreme being) just before sunrise—and all of the potential energy and light emanating from the entire cosmos. It is an expression of gratitude for the life-giving Sun and the Divine; asking to be freed of all misconceptions and to realize our own divine brilliance (or our oneness with pure consciousness).
I find it comforting to know that this is a longing that is as old as humankind and that millions of people have chanted it. Even if you are totally caught up in the misconceptions, may connecting with this longing in this sacred way support you.
