“Gayatri Mantra” is one the most important mantra found in Veda. This mantra is done at three junctions of the day, once at the time of dawn(sunrise), second at the mid noon, and the third at the dusk(sunset).
A japa mala, having 108 beads is often used in Mantra repetition. The Mantra must be pronounced distinctly and without mistakes. Repetition must be neither too fast nor too slow, and thought must be given to its meaning.
Gayatri is the "Wisdom of God" and brings illumination. Gayatri is chanted for the attainment of Universal Consciousness and for the awakening of intuitive powers. This mantra is the key to opening the door to Cosmic Consciousness.
Generally “Gayatri Mantra” is chanted 108 times daily or whatever suggested by the Pandit or Astrologer. |
