Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Namaste. This is a question on a shloka whose full form I don't know but it begins with "na gAyatryAH param mantraM". I vaguely remember it as follows: na gAyatryAH param mantram na mAtuH para-devatA / na guroH paramam brahma naikAdashyAH param vrataM // Is this the correct version? Where does it occur? Are there other versions? praNAms to all those whose respect the GAyatrI profvk ===== Prof. V. Krishnamurthy My website on Science and Spirituality is http://www.geocities.com/profvk/ You can access my book on Gems from the Ocean of Hindu Thought Vision and Practice, and my father R.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 professorji, Is this the version ? Na Gayatrayah: Paramantrah: Na Matuhu: Para Daivatam Na Kasyah: Paramam Tirtham Na Ekaadasyah: Samam Vratam There is no mantram superior to Gayatri mantram, there is no God superior to one's mother; there is no sacred place superior to Benares (Kasi); and there is no Vrata which is equal to the Ekaadasi Vrata. pranaams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
