I am a staunch Hindu and an ardent devotee of Ambaa in all Her forms. I am basically from Kerala..in India but live in Tamil Nadu. Kerala is a land of some of the most powerful temples of Ambaa in Her various forms and I have worshipped Her in some of these powerful temples...Kerala is also the birth place of Saint Adi Sankaracharya. I pray to my beloved Goddess fervently every single day..offer Her flowers and sing Her few slokas that I know. I am not very well versed in Her innumberable slokas that talk about Her benevlonace and Almighty grace and strength. I joined this forum with the thought that I can learn a lot more about my Beloved Goddess and be aware and experience the grace She showers on all Her devotees in this forum. I would be grateful if you would include me in this forum so I too can expand my knowledge on Shakthi the Almighty. Please help me with the Gayathri sloka.. can a female chant Gayathri sloka everyday to attain Her grace.? Please let me know which verse I can say everyday for Her proctection of my family. kind regards Anuradha Calendar - Free online calendar with sync to Outlook. http://calendar.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Namaste, A woman who wants to chant Gayatri should take diksha from a sat guru. In my life, I have met three women sat gurus. To the best of my knowledge, they all teach Gayatri to women. The point is that one chants Gayatri by the grace of the sat guru. It is not because you are male or female.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 namaste Sri Jesse Arana: According to tradition, only males of brahmaNa, xatriyaa and vaishya varNa-s are initiated to gaayatrii mantra at the time of upanayana. This is the case for all of the recorded history that stretches to at least last two milleniums. upanayana constitutes second birth, hence the above three are called dviija-s. The initiation is done by the father or someone else in his position and the veda maataa becomes mother. There are many additional rules also. Besides, going through upanayana ceremony is a must to get initiated. Your "sat guru" theory for gaayatrii mantra has no support in shaastra. As it was pointed out there are many other methods, which are open to all and simpler to follow. My 2c.
