GAYATRI MANTRA – An eternal source of Energy:

Gayatri Mantra is a Sanskrit mantra taken from Rigveda (Mandal 3.62.10) dedicated to Savitri, the Vedic Sun Deity. It is created by Maharshi Vishvamitra during the Vedic period.
ppThe power of Gayatri Mantra is tremendous, it is almost impossible to explain the power of this mantra in words. In-built in are words, sound, divinity, faith and strength. Regular recitation of this mantra activates the brain cells. Th Gayatri Mantra is more powerful than any mantra of any language and this is now accepted worldwide. The Vedas have recommended recitation of  Gayatri Mantra to achieve the goals.

In the Upanayan Ceremony, the priest narrates the complete Gayatri Mantra to the Batu. The Batu learns it by heart, and he has to recite this mantra in future every day 11 times with clear
pronunciation.

It is said to contain all the knowledge of the universe. The mantra is an expression of gratitude and praise to the powers of transformation, inner growth and self-realisation provided by the divine light The Sun. There is evidence of how a ray of glow of Sun reaches a devotee who does a repetitive recitation of Gayatri Mantra in standing posture.

Following is the Gayatri Mantra:

ॐ भूभभवु
ः स्व:
तत्सववतभवरु ेण्यं भर्गो
देवस्य धीमहि
धधयो यो नः प्रचोदयात्॥

The meaning of this mantra is:
Oh Divine Mother, may your pure divine light eliminate all realms (physical, mental and
spiritual) of our being. Please expel any darkness from our heart and bestow upon us the true knowledge.
