Atmiya all,

 

Vedmata Gayatri:

 

According to Indian scriptures, once Lord Narayana felt that "Eko ham

bahusyami", "I want to be a lot from one". That time one lotus came

from His neval and He created Lord Brahma on it. Then Lord Narayana

told Brahmaji to create a universe where a lot like Him can flourish.

Brahmaji used Lord's "Tamas" shakti to create 5 essential facores of

life(earth, sky, water, fire and air). Then the atoms of all five of

them combined with one another to create all physical bodies like,

human, animals, insects, mountains, rivers and so on.. basically

Prakriti. Now Brahmaji used Lord's Sat shakti and put a fraction of

Lord in each of them, then everyone became alive! Our scriptures

called this sat shakti Savitri. Now there has to be the principles of

life for everyone, so Brahmaji gave principles of how everyone should

live in form of 24 letters which grametically falls in to Gayatri

chand. So the 24 letters mantra that Brahmaji gave became popular as

Gayatri mantra (Tat savitur...., Om bhur bhuvah, svah is the

vyrhaties). Now since it is very difficult for a layman to understand

the meaning of each letter of this mantra, our sages wrote lots and

lots of slokas to explain each of the 24 letters. Then when a sage

named Krishnadvaipayan Vyasa came, he thought that this important

Brahma gyan is scattered every where. So he compiled it in to four

parts, like all the slokas explaing principles of how our Dharma(Rig)

should be in one, about our manoranjan(Sam) in one, our administration

(Yajur) in one and Money matters(Atharva) in one. Thus all of them

known as Vedas because in Sanscrit, knowledge means Ved and sage

Krishnadvaipayan Vyasa became known as Ved Vyasa. Thus since all

Vedas are just the definition of Gayatri mantra, Gayatri is known as

Vedmata. After compiling Vedas also Ved Vyasa and other rishies were

not satisfied, so they gave practical explanation in form of smrities

and Dareshans and puranas. And finally Ved Vyasa gave Mahabharat and

Gita. Thus all the scriptures we have today are just the definition

of Gayatri mantra only.

 

Dev mata Gayatri: Gayatri mantra gives divinity. Also She is

worshipped by all our Devtas. So Sahe is called Dev mata. There are

24 Gayatri mantra to please each devta separately.

 

Vishwamata: Since Gayatri is tha Sat shakti of Lord and the Pran

shakti of the entire universe, Gayatri is known as Vishvamata.
