Gayatri or Savitri (Sanskrit) (from the verbal root ga to sing)

A verse of the Rig-Veda (III, 62, 10): Tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi dhiyo yo nah prachodayat, "Let us meditate on that excellent splendor of the divine sun; may it illumine (inspire) our hearts (minds)."

Every orthodox Brahmin is supposed to repeat this archaic hymn, at least mentally, at both his morning and evening religious devotions.

of the Hindu philosophers. All these three aspects are . . . combined in our conception of the Gayatri" (N on BG 90).
