Gayatrimantra

The Gayatrimantra is a verse from a Vedic hymn. Supposedly, the head of a household is expected to repeat this verse (with the assistance of a brahmin), at least 2,400,000 times.

In Sanskrit:

Aum
Bhu Bhuva Svah
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahee
Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayaat

In English:

The primordial creative sound
The three worlds: earth, atmosphere, and heaven
Adoration of the splendor that radiates from the Divine illumination
A prayer for liberation through the light of the universal intelligence
