Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
Dhiyo yonah Prachodayat
translations of the total vary slightly -
OM - Para Brahman
BHUR - Bhu loka (Physical plane). It also refers to the body made up of the 5 Pancha Bhutas (5 elements). These 5 elements constitute Prakriti (Nature).
BHUVA - Bhuva loka - The middle world. Bhuva is also Prana Sakthi. However, it is the presence of Prajnana that enables the Prana Sakthi to animate the body. It is on this account that the Vedas have declared "Prajnanam Brahma" (Constant Integrated Awareness is Brahmam).
SVAHA - Swarga loka (Heaven - the land of the Gods) (SS 9/95-234)
TAT - Paramatma, God or Brahman
SAVITUR - That from which all this is born
VARENYAM - Fit to be worshipped
BHARGO - The Radiance, the Spiritual Effulgence, the Light that bestows Wisdom
DEVASYA - Divine Reality
DHEEMAHI - We meditate
DHIYO - Buddhi, Intellect
YO - Which
NAH - Our
PRACHODAYAT - Enlighten.

Reciting this mantra will bind one to the earth.
If one wants to find and merge with the Creator (God), this mantra is useless.
One would be better served by setting on Mount Shasta in full lotus position for 1000 years and reciting "OM".
Find a True Gnani Guru and gain mans true birthright, oneness with "God".

in my experience, one is unconciously drawn to watch the tv series 'battlestar galactica' over and over again.
