Scientific meaning of the Gaytri Mantra

Scientific meaningof Gaytri Mantra Scientific meaning of the Gaytri Mantra Gayatri mantra has been bestowed the greatest importance in Vedic dharma.This mantra has also been termed as Savitri and Ved-Mata, the mother of the Vedas. "Om-bhur bhuvah swah Tat savitur varenyam Bhargo devasya dheemahi; Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat. " The literal meaning of the mantra: O God! You are Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Almighty. You are all Light. You are all Knowledge and Bliss. You are Destroyer of fear, You are Creator of this Universe, You are the Greatest of all. We bow and meditate upon Your light.

People Who Inspire Me

There are many people who inspire me from various walks of life. Some are famous people who have changed the world for the better. Others reflect a more personal choice.

I feel that it was the vision and determination of Mikhail Gorbachev which brought a peaceful end to the Cold War, and a relatively peaceful end to the totalitarian Communist states in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
