Mantra of wisdom and finding harmony with the world. One of the most famous mantras, preserved to our times in ancient scriptures. Regular repetition of the Gayatri mantra<\/strong> with faith, sincerity, devotion and concentration leads to purification of the mind and body, grants wisdom, prosperity, peace, enlightenment, removes all obstacles on the path, relieves fears, dangers, purifies karma, blesses with liberation, and also leads to development of the spiritual mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gayatri mantra<\/strong> first appeared in the Rigveda, an early Vedic text written between 1800 and 1500 BCE. It is also mentioned as an important ritual in the Bhagavad Gita. This mantra is dedicated to Savitur, the sun god. The sun is both physical and spiritual, it illuminates the way for people and bestows harmony with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gayatri<\/strong> is the Mother of all Sacred Vedas (Gayatri Chandhasam matha), she has three names: Gayatri, Savitri and Saraswati. Gayatri – personifies the senses and is the mistress of the senses. Savitri – personifies the truth and is the mistress of Prana (Life Force). Saraswati is responsible for speech (waak). These three goddesses represent purity in thought, word and deed and are present in each of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
