Anandamurti starts the discourse by explaining a shloka from the RK Veda which means "Oh Lord, guide my thoughts in a proper way so that my life becomes meaningful and blissful".

He then explains that the correct name for the prayer is Savitr Rk and not Gayatri Mantra. The Rk Veda is divided into sections called ''mańd́ala''. The mańd́alas are divided into ''súktas'', and the súktas are divided into ''rks''. This Savitr Rk (the rk for Savitá) is composed in Gayatri rhythm. Anandamurti goes on saying that ''Savitá'' means father; and A-U-M means creation, preservation and destruction. One should meditate on the Supreme Father so that He guides one's intellect unto the path of effulgence.<ref name="AV1"/> | ||
