Rating: 5.0


Let us meditate on
The Divine Light!

The Radiant Supreme Presence,
Bright and illuminating,
The Indweller,
The Controller,
The Director,
Of all beings and objects of this world!

Let our intellect be stimulated
By the light of divine effulgence.

Rig Veda Samhita(Mandal 3.62.10)

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
During this Quarantine period, there is nothing better than a prayer for the whole world. These are Peace chants from the Vedas. The best part about these' Peace chants' are that they are universal. It is not for a particular religion, cast, creed, sect, colour, language or country. It is for all human beings alike.
I have taken the liberty to translate the original Sanskrit verses into English. I, most humbly declare, that a translation can never do full justice to the original Sanskrit verse. Sanskrit has its own divine beauty and grace.

The above verse is chanted with reverence in order to fill the mind with light and to stimulate the intellect.

God, a divine light is the Controller, the Director of all beings and objects of this world. A well executed poem is amazingly shared.

Let our intellect be stimulated By the light of divine effulgence.... //.... That is the most important wish to be granted by God through His divine touch, control, direction and guidance. A pleasure to read this lovely translation.
