Nagesh D. Sonde

When one recites and worships gayatri! it is not so much the  physical Sun that it adored and worshipped, but "तत् सवितृ वरेण्यं" who is "भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि " the resplendent luminous intelligence within, which is not normally accessible? The divine essence नाम within the रूप the gross form is not seen because of the display of the resplendent rays that envelop the fair face - "हिरण्मयेन पात्रेण सत्यस्यापिहितं मुखम् ।". Therefore the upanishadic seer prays पूषन् to draw his rays within since rhe desires to see the face of सत्य, the Prime Existence - "तत् त्वं पूषन्नपावृणु सत्यघर्माय दृष्टये ।" . Gather together and soften the glare of the resplendent rays, O luminous Sun, so that he may see the fair face of सत्य, The Prime Existence - "पूषन्नेकर्षे यम सूर्य प्राजापत्य  व्यूह रश्मीन् । समूह तेज:, यत्ते रूपं कल्याणतमं तत् ते पश्यामि ।".
