This is the Gayatri Mantra, the Lords Prayer of the Aryans. This is considered to be the best and most perfect form of prayer, as in it we pray not for ones selfish advancement, but for the betterment of humanity. We pray not for things mundane, which we can acquire through our intellect and understanding, but for the purification of our loftiest and noblest gift, the wise understanding. We dont pray for bread, and physical objects and comforts. Highest form of prayer is offered to God, the Highest Authority. This prayer is perfect as it contains all the three elements of prayer, i. e. , laudation, स्तुति supplication, प्रार्थना and meditation उपासना.
