Last night in our small meditation group, I found myself called to share the Gayatri mantra and was reminded how profoundly powerful it can be. Here is a little info on this ancient mantra, written over 3000 years ago.
☀️
Gayatri Mantra is one of the oldest and most powerful Vedic mantras as per Hindu religious beliefs. This sacred mantra is mentioned in the Upanishads as a ritual and in the Bhagwat Gita as a divine poem.
☀️
It is believed that by chanting Gayatri Mantra, you achieve success and happiness in your life. With regular chanting of the Gayatri Mantra, one can firmly establish and stabilize the mind. The mantra is a declaration of appreciation, to both the nurturing sun and the Divine.
☀️
English meaning:
☀️
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 They enlighten our Intellect.
☀️
Best time to chant:
4 am to 8 am and 4 pm to 8 pm
☀️
This month has been somewhat destabilising so I am committing now to a 40 day sadhana of this mantra each morning 🙏🏻📿🎶

Some of our beautiful tribe on today’s walk, at Badger Weir Park. Don’t have any other photos of the retreat to share. For me, a retreat means respecting people’s right to privacy. It means slowing down and being on my phone less.
:
What we experience here is personal, profound and the connections we make are authentic, heart-warming and long-lasting.
No social media post can ever truly capture that. So - here’s some trees instead … 😂😎🥰
