about

Gayatri mantra, is known to be one of the oldest and most powerful passages from the Rig Veda, a sacred book of India written in Sanskrit more than 3,000 years ago.

Reciting this mantra is said to stabilize the mind and help one achieve success and intellect.

Nasambu has been exposed to various aspects of ancient Indian teachings since childhood, and has studied yoga and Indian Classical music. Upon hearing the Gayatri mantra for the first time at an Indian Classical music performance, it touched her so deeply that she sought it out to discover its origins and the song has been a source of inspiration to her for years.

lyrics

Om Bhur Bhuvaḥ Suvaha
Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
Dhiyo Yonaḥ Prachodayāt

English Basic Translation (:

We meditate on the glory of the Creator;
Who has created the Universe;
Who is worthy of Worship;
Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light;
Who is the remover of all Sin and Ignorance
May He enlighten our intellect
