Savitar Vedic Prayer for Night Help and Protection

About Savitar Vedic Prayer for Night Help and Protection

This app contains an ancient prayer hymn from the Vedic Hindu Rig Veda, translated into English in a style similar to the King James Bible. The central purpose of this particular hymn is to seek divine help, favor, and protection at night. The prayer honors God in the form of Savitar (or Savitr), who is given the epithets "Divine One", "Gentle Leader", "The Holy", "Golden-Handed", and "Many-Rayed One." Rather than the popular villain from the Flash series, the ancient Vedic Savitar was a form of the kind and benevolent Sun God, Surya. Each Vedic hymn reveals many fascinating aspects of ancient Indo-Aryan culture, history, and religion. Great for meditation, bhakti, praise, or scholarly study! Translated into English from the original Sanskrit.

What is the Rig Veda?
The Rig Veda, an ancient Indian collection of 1,028 Vedic Sanskrit hymns, is the first of the four Vedas, the sacred Scripture of ancient Vedic Hinduism. Most of the Rig Veda dates from c. 1500 BCE - 1000 BCE, making it one of the oldest texts of any Indo-European language, and one of the world's oldest religious texts. Some of its verses continue to be recited during Hindu rites of passage celebrations, as well as formal prayers.
