Question:  What is “Gayatri Mantra”?

 

Answer:   Om Bhurbhuvah Swah, Tatsaviturvarenyams; Bhargo Devasya

Dheemahi, Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat.      (Yajurved 36-3)

 

Every holy hymn of the Veda is called “the mantra”, and every mantra

of the Veda is filled with the deep meaning for that one has to

think. Mantra means “thinkable subject”.

 

“O GOD! You are the life and support of the whole world, self-existent

and dearer than life itself, you are free from all suffering and your

contact frees others from all suffering. You pervade this multiform

universe and all power proceeds from you. Creator of all that exists

in this phenomenal world, you are most luminous, pure and adorable.

We meditate on you. May you inspire and guide our intellect on the

right path.

 

The repetition of the Gayatri mantra, with its proper meaning,

improves the intellect and with refined intellect one can understand

and acquire the subjects of knowledge and science i.e. wisdom easily.

 

Above-written mantra of the Veda is called “the Gayatri Mantra”, in

which the devotee prays to GOD for thesharp discriminative intellect

(Sad-Buddhi). It is a prayer for wisdom, by which one can acquire

true knowledge, from which everything is achieved in the life.

 

Each and every mantra of the Vedas is holy and the best. As every limb

and organ of the body is precious, but Prana (nervauric force) is the

most precious of all, because the body is useless without the

nervauric force. In the same way the Gayatri mantra is the Prana

(Vital force) of the Vedas. The Veda is understood only with pure

intellect and without intellect there is no use of the Vedas. The

Gayatri mantra is complete mantra of glorification-prayer-communion

of GOD.

Ummm, excuse me Aryasamaj Gandhidham,

 

This was also sent to my personal email address.

I did not ask to be on your mailing list, especially

seeing you also posted the same thing here onlist.

 

Please do not use members for your own

mailing list. That is just tacky.

 

Remove my name from your list.

 

Thanks,
