We are bemused by illusion Senses externalised, desires beget delusion Fallen from grace, we have forgotten our nature Your fragrant touch alone restores our true stature Awaken Mother, here in form, love and wisdom May our consciousness rise to the sensorium Dual polarities melding, illumining our soul That bliss suffused, we again feel whole 09-November-2021 Inspired By A Translation Poetry Contest Sponsor: Malabika Ray Choudhury Notes: Gayatri mantra is a popular, age old prayer, in Sanskrit language.

Thanks Andrea! Have a look at the translation of the Gayatri Mantra as well. When chanted with a pure heart, the vibrations teleport us into the ethereal domain

The Gayatri mantra (Sanskrt language) is deeply researched. People chant it as a prayer mechanically. However, the rabbit hole goes in deep! Incidentally, the mantra has 8 syllables per line
