Gayatri Mantra
June 22nd, 2007
The Gayatri Mantra is seen by many Hindus as the foremost mantra, the way to the Divine awakening of the mind and soul. The Gayatri Mantra is seen as the way to reach the most Supreme form of existence.
The Upanisads (sacred Hindu texts) contain many references to the Gayatri Mantra, and it is contained in all the four Vedas. The Goddess Gayatri is the Mother of all the Vedas and the consort of Brahma. She is made up of the coming together of Parvati, Laxmi and Saraswati to become Adi Parashakti, the Mother of Gods and the Supreme God of all Gods. She is also associated with the sun and is worshipped as the Sun Goddess.
Om bhu Om bhuvah Om Svah On mahah Om janah Om tapah Om satyam
Om bhu bhuvah svarah.
Om tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi.
Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat.
Om apo jyoti raso mrtyam Brahma bhuvah svar Om.
It is believed that reciting the Gayatri Mantra creates the power of righteous wisdom. All problems are solved by those who have this gift. No calamity will befall them and they will not tread the wrong path.
It is not just reciting the mantra that is important, however. Understanding and purely being the essence of the Gayatri Manta is one of the most powerful ways to attain God and is the way to union with Brahma.

It is immensely appreciated that Light of Love is constantly trying to bring out the values of ancient yore. These are glories of the past, that is very much going to reflect the future (adventing Satya Yuga).
These are small steps in getting translated all the great works like Upanishads and Gita (now we are devoid of really divine translation and intrepration of these great works).
Best love, wishes and regards
