Hi Vikram,

How about this translation in English:

Oh Creator of the Universe! We meditate upon your Supreme splendor. May your radiant power illuminate our intellects, destroy our sins, and guide us in the right direction!

Hope this is fine... Regards

The ideal translation is as follows:

Oh, the master of the universe,
glowing with your light's divine illumination,
I meditate upon you,
to activate and enlighten me.
