Hari OM
We are addressing the morning prayers, currently. We have recited the waking prayer, the rising prayer and the supplication. Now for the great prayer, the Savitri - generally referred to as The Gayatri. (You are recommended this post at ch.1 for a broadening of understanding.)
This prayer is not necessarily consigned only to the morning, but this is the optimum time for it. If performing to exact principles, one would be facing east and the rising sun to chant it. For chhandas, click here.
Om, bhuur-bhuvaH svaH
tat-savitur-varenyam
bhargo devasya dhiimahi
dhiyo yo naH prachodayaat.
Om - the earth, the sky, the heavens
and the Supreme Soul, Surya (sun-god) are fit to be worshipped
(you are) the remover of sins and ignorance; as we meditate upon your glory
may our intellect become enlightened
Hari Om.
