The meaning of Gayatri Mantra

I like to know the meaning of slokas and mantras I recite. In this regard, I will publish in this blog, some of the slokas I recite and the meaning of the same.

Gayatri Mantra
Om Bhur Bhuva Swah, Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi, Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat ||


Interpretation
We meditate upon that Lord's glory, who has created the universe (Physical, Astral and Celestial planes), Who is fit to be worshiped, Who is the embodiment of knowledge and light, He who is the remover of all sins and ignorance, May He enlighten our intellects.
