Summary of the Gayatri Mantra
Gayatri Mantra (the mother of the vedas), the foremost mantra in hinduism and hindu beliefs, inspires wisdom. Its meaning is that "May the Almighty God illuminate our intellect to lead us along the righteous path". The mantra is also a prayer to the "giver of light and life" - the sun (savitur).
Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life,
Remover of pain and sorrow,
The Bestower of happiness,
Oh! Creator of the Universe,
May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light,
May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction.
Gayatri Mantra in Sanskrit
Gayatri, the five-faced Goddess, is said to have domain over the five senses or pranas, and protects these five life-forces of those who chant the Gayatri Mantra. In her role as the protector, Gayatri is referred to as Savitri.
Word for Word Meaning of the Gayatri Mantra
Aum= Brahma;bhoor= embodiment of vital spiritual energy(pran);bhuwah= destroyer of sufferings;swaha= embodiment of happiness;tat= that;savitur= bright like sun;varenyam= best choicest;bhargo= destroyer of sins;devasya= divine;these first nine words describe the glory of God
dheemahi= may imbibe; pertains to meditation
dhiyo= intellect;yo= who;naha= our;prachodayat= may inspire!
"dhiyo yo na prachodayat" is a prayer to God
Hence the Gayatri is unique in that it embodies the three concepts of stotra (singing
the praise and glory of God), dhyaana (meditation) and praarthana (prayer).
The prayer form of the Gayatri be used to pray to Lord Shiva is called Rudra Gayatri.
Similarly, one may sing Ganesha Gayatri for Lord Ganesha, Hanuman Gayatri for Lord
Hanuman, and Saraswati Gayatri for Goddess Saraswati.
Origin, Benefits and Chanting of the Gayatri Mantra
The Vedas are widely considered to be the source of all true knowledge, the word "Veda"itself meaning "Knowledge". Gayatri Devi also gave to mankind the "Gayatri Mantra",
also known as the "Guru Mantra" or the "Savitri Mantra". It is one of the oldest
mantras, and generally thought of as being amongst the highest and most powerful
mantras of all. This mantra is therefore often referred to as "the Mother of the Vedas"In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna had proclaimed to Arjuna - "Among all the mantras,
I am the Gayatri........".[/b]May God bless You and have a great time.
