Sri Aurobindo’s Gayatri
Tat savitur varam rupam jyotih parasya dhimahi, yannah satyena dipayet.
Let us meditate on the most auspicious form of Savitri, on the Light of the Supreme which shall illumine us with the Truth.
Sri Aurobindo
This is Sri Aurobindo’s “Gayatri” modifying the traditional Gayatri of the Rigveda to express the new realisation of his integral yoga of supermind or Divine Truth-consciousness.
