The Gayatri Mantra Translations

ॐ भूर्भुवः॒ स्वः

तत्स॑वितुर्वरे॑(तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं)

भ॒र्गो॑ दे॒वस्य॑ धीमहि

धियो॒ यो नः॑ प्रचो॒दया॑त्

Gayatri Mantra

Om Bhur Buvah svaha
Thath savithur varenyam
Bhargo devasya dhimahi
Dhiyo yonah prachodayat

Bhooh: the terrestrial,

Bhuvah: the world connecting terrestrial to celestial.

Svah: the celestial and 

From a yogi perspective Bhooh, Bhuvah, Svah are mystically interpreted as the three levels of consciousness: Conscious, Dream-state and Unconscious.

Savituh: life-generating ability of the Sun

Bhargaḥ: the self-luminous one

Tatsavitur devasya: ‘of that divine entity called Savitṛ’

Dhīmahi means ‘we meditate upon’

Dhiyaḥ means '‘life activity’

Pracodayāt means ‘to move in a specific direction.’ 

We could translate the Gayatri as:

We meditate upon self-luminous radiance of the divine entity called Savita which inspires our life activities, and intellect.

Singing mantras and sacred chants of Siva frees us from all our karma

It is Siva who causes bondage and who made Maya (Illusion).  It is Siva who makes us realise our essential Divine Nature. Siva created the idea of egoism, Karma, pleasure and pain.  It is Siva who offers Moksha or freedom.  Om and Siva are one.
