Gayatri mantra is a Vedic prayer. It is a universal prayer that can be used by any person, belonging to any country, irrespective of race, religion, or sex. This book includes the symbolism of Om and the Gayatri, the scriptural references where they are mentioned, as well a detailed instruction on how to perform the Sandhya rituals. Text for the rituals is in Sanskrit with transliteration, and English translation.
What the world wants is character. The world is in need of those whose life is one burning love--selfless. That love will make every word tell like a thunderbolt. Awake, awake, great souls! The world is burning in misery. Can you sleep? Work unto death--I am with you, and when I am gone, my spirit will work with you. This life comes and goes--wealth, fame, enjoyments are only of a few days. It is better, far better, to die on the field of duty, preaching the truth than to die like a worldly worm. Advance!
