Prefixed with Mahā Vyāhŗtis Bhuh, Bhuvah, Svah and Praņava Om, this forms Gāyatrī Mantra.

Gāyatrī is the power of God Savitŗ (Sun). She is worshipped in three forms in spiritual perspective. Rays of Sun are the givers of life and well-being to the worldly creatures, also are described as the panacea for all diseases from scientific point-of-view. A synthesis of spiritual and scientific conceptions is presented in this song.

Gāyatrī-Gītikā

(English Translation by the Author Dr. Harekrishna Meher)
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = 
Om Auspicious Bhūh, Bhuvah, Svah.

We meditate on the Goddess

who stimulates our intellect.

She is the adorable power of God Savitr

well-worshipped by the world.

She is known as Gāyatrī, Sarasvatī and Sāvitrī. (0) 

She is the Goddess of Speech

eradicating all the gloom.

She has thousand-rayed illustrious hands.

She is the form of auspicious wisdom.

In her, all ignorance is subdued.

She is the illuminating splendour

and the predominant power

enumerated in the scriptures. (1)

She is the beauteous goddess

endowed with pure and fair Sattva guņa.

Her conveyance is the swan.  

Destroyer of all mundane sufferings,

she is the form of auspiciousness and bliss.

She is verily meditated upon

and worshipped by the people.

She is the bestower of beatitude,

 is celebrated as the mother of the Vedas

and is attributed with utterance of the Śruti. (2)

She is eternally praised

and conducive to the path of truth.

Conferring weal, she is the root-cause of creation,

sustenance and dissolution of the world.

She is beyond mundane hindrances.

She enjoins the forms of Trinity,

 i.e. Brahmā, Vishņu and Śiva.

She is the resort of the noble ones. (3)

She is the quintessence

 of auspiciousness and divine excellence.

She is the revered goddess, lotus-faced.

Devotional worship to her gives all the well-being.

 She is the sustainer and enhancer of righteousness.

She is the unique letter OM. (4)

She cures all diseases

and annihilates all mundane pains.

 She is the life-giving energy.

Destroyer of all evils,

She is replete with all purity and holiness.

She is the controller of the world,

is the stimulator of our thoughts

and is the divine purifier everywhere.

Bestower of boon, she is golden-figured.

She is the adorable energy  

of God Savitŗ well-praised in her trio. (5)

Rāma’s Coronation in the Vision of Sītā (Tapasvinī)

Rāma’s Coronation in the Vision of Sītā
(From Original Oriya Kāvya ‘ Tapasvinī’
of Poet Gangādhara Meher)
English Translation by : Dr. Harekrishna Meher
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

In the flow of the river
of devotion-to-husband there,
Sītā’s life was floating,
and in eddies, was restlessly rotating.

Unable to bring and keep
her life in own lap, Dame Sleep
approached Yogamāyā,
and apprised : “O Goddess ! Life of Sītā
has today gone beyond
the human heart’s bond.

For twelve years
Virtuous Maithilī,
permeating her bed with tears,
managed to come slowly
in my lap once even.
But today despite my frequent call
in my very sweet tone,
she not at all
paying heed to it, alone
proceeds to the state of heaven.

Idols of eyes, her twin sons,
from her eyes shall now disappear.
All the ten directions
shall seem darkened for her.
In this life of hers
no sun-rise of happiness appears.

So much devoted to her husband,
what fruit did she acquire at the end ?
Kindly make her future bright.
Let the poor lady behold it.

Pouring water from eyes
in her life’s basin,
the sobre lady obtained the grand
garden of devotion-to-husband.
Neither any flower bloomed therein,
nor did any fruit appear.
Ah ! Tell me please,
would the life
of the virtuous wife
so desperately suffer ?”

Yogamāyā directed : “Come, My Friend !
Cool night is at its end.
Approaching the devoted Sītā now earlier,
we both will reveal the secret of her future.”

With Sleep, entered Yogamāyā hastily
in the cottage of Maithilī.
By celestial lustre, the sylvan site
continued to shine.
Surface of earth turned replete
with the fragrance divine.

By the aromatic affluence
horripilated, Sītā’s life aroused.
Under the splendour’s influence
her eyes became closed.

There appeared the scene.
Lustrous Sītā has been.
World is being illumed further
by her effusive lustre.

Resplendent with blooming mien,
King Rāma with herself as Queen
has ascended the bejewelled throne there.
Kuśa has sat in the lap of Rāghava,
and in Sītā’s lap, Lava.
Holding the lifted umbrella,
Lakshmaņa, the husband of Urmilā,
has stood anear.

Moving the charming chowery moonbeam-fair,
Bharata performs his own duty.
Holding by hand, Śatrughna moves there
the fan prepared with peacock-plumes pretty.

In the mouth of future,
life-lustre of every creature
is flowing apace
forming a stream of river.
Crores of men and women thither
are performing ablutions in the very stream,
knowing it a great place,
sacred, noble and supreme.

By and by, the stream
with its physical expanse
advances towards the ocean of time
in great distance.

Gods and demi-god Vidyādharas with love
are offering from above
soothing showers
of beautiful flowers.

Gods, with demons all,
serpents, human beings
and nymphs celestial,
are permeating there
the entire mundane sphere
with ‘Victory-to-Sītā-Rāma’ chantings.

In every house, in every life, in every city,
in the river-boat, in the bark of the sea,
in every cavern,
at day and night,
in the even and the morn,
in dolour and delight,
in the hearts of the affluent
as well as of the indigent,
reigns ever-reverberant
the ‘Victory-to-Sītā-Rāma’ chant.
Observing all these,
stood entranced at the scene
Crest-crown of the chaste ladies,
the Great Queen.
