"Of all the eulogies (mantras) I am the Gayatri," Krishna testifies in the Bhagavad Gita. This is one of the most ancient invocations to the Radiant Light (Bharga) of the Cosmoplasm, that Great Being behind the physical Sun, who underpins life in the Solar System. The timeless pilgrim appeals to the Solar Logos in order that its shining Light may awaken within him the element of buddhi (the principle of unity, the essence of wisdom) so that he may know the part of Truth that corresponds to him, i.e. the work (dharma) he needs to perform in the larger plan for the redemption of the world.
    This queen of the eulogies (mantraraja) is timeless and universal as with simplicity, lyricism and clarity it points us to the Supreme God as well as the way (which is the revelation of truth and service) in which we can connect with Him.

O Thou, who in the Universe givest support,

From Thee all things flow,

In Thee all things end,

Reveal to us the face

of the true Spiritual Sun,

Hidden behind a disc of golden light.

So that we may know the Truth,

and to perform our duty to the full,

As we go to your Holy Feet.

(translation from the original Sanskrit measure: William Q. Judge)

The literal version of this ancient eulogy is as follows:

"Let us meditate on the extraordinary brilliance of the divine sun. 

May it enlighten our minds."
