DESCRIPTION:
Gayatri Mantra
Traditional (version: Ignacio Escribano)

Om bhur bhuvah svaha
Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasya dhimahi
Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat.

Recitation: (fragment of the poem "El andariego", by Ignacio Escribano).

Cuando en su vientre infinito de agua y fuego
La Madre Tierra te reciba bondadosa,
Te sabrás conectado a algo más grande:
Una matriz inteligente y amorosa.
Hallarás lo que incansable habías buscado
En cada libro, en cada noche, en cada viaje, en cada mano.
¡Ay! andariego, finalmente cuando partas,
Solitario y silencioso, abatido y victorioso
Sentirás la inconfundible pertenencia con el Todo
Con que tanto habías soñado (Has vuelto a casa).

Translation

When in its infinite womb of water and fire
Earth Mother kindly receive you,
You'll find yourself connected to something bigger:
An intelligent, loving matrix.
You'll find what you'd relentlessly searched
In every book, every night, on every trip, in each hand.
Oh Wanderer!, when finally you depart,
Lonely and silent, defeated and victorious
You'll feel the unmistakable belonging to the All.
That you have always dreamed of (You've come home).
