Whatever the hour and whatever the darkness, her light is there.\n\nThe word 'enko', 'shall I call her?', comes four times. It is a lovely admission of the poet's helplessness: every light falls short of her. It is only natural that words run out when describing the Goddess of words. The third line's 'twilight of the Vedic priests' refers to sandhya vandanam, the prayer to the sun at dawn and dusk; the Gayatri recited in it is itself a prayer for the light of understanding.","story_title_ta":"\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0b95\u0bbe\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbf","story_ta":"\u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0bb5\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb5 \u0bb5\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b9a \u0baa\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb5 \u0baa\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0baa\u0bb2 \u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd, \u0baa\u0bb2 \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd, \u0b95\u0bcb\u0baa\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b86\u0b9a\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9f\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0bb7\u0bbf \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf \u0ba4\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b95\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0b95\u0bbe\u0baf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbf: \"\u0b93\u0bb3\u0bbf \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b92\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0bae\u0bcd; \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc2\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0b95.\"\n\n\u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc8, \u0b95\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb3\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcb\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2, \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2; \"\u0b8e\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc2\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b92\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc7. \u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0bae\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc8 \"\u0b9a\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0baa\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bca\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd.","story_title_en":"The Gayatri Seen by Vishvamitra","story_en":"From the Vedic tradition. Vishvamitra was at first a king. Seeing the power of the sage Vasishtha's penance, he realised that the strength of tapas is greater than the strength of kings, gave up his throne and undertook fierce austerities. Through many obstacles and failures, through anger and desire, he at last became a Brahmarishi.\n\nAt the height of his penance a mantra shone forth in his heart. In the third book of the Rig Veda, with Vishvamitra as its seer, stands that mantra, the Gayatri: 'We meditate on the glorious light of the shining Savitr; may he inspire our understanding.'\n\nFrom that day to this, millions recite it at the twilight hours of dawn and dusk. It asks not for wealth or victory, but for one thing only: 'inspire our understanding'. When Kambar calls the Goddess 'the sun that rises at the twilight prayer', it is this light of understanding that he has in mind.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0ba8\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bbf\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc6\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1? \u0b85\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0ba8\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0baf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"At what hour of your day is your mind clearest?
