Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I read in the aghora book 2 that the gayatri we know is not the real one. He said that it is savitri. But the dhyan mantra, used during morning sandhya vandanam is "balam baladityamandalastham .....gayatrim naam taam dhyayet". It seems that this form is gayatri. Though in the afternoon and evening the dhyana changes to savitri and saraswati. There are gayatris for other devatas also. Then what gayatri is he referring to?

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I wouldnt take svabodha's book that seriously, I was given the first two to read from a concerned friend. I regard it as entertaining fiction...nothing more. There is a Vedic Gayatri which ranges from the RG vedic tat savitur to the Shukla Yajur Veda's bhur bhuwah swaha tat savitur.... If you pick up mantra puruscharana or any so called "Gayatri Tantras" you will find varieties of different bijAs affixed to the gayatri. There is also the ajapaH gayatris as well; these are bijas which usually pertain to one murti of Shiva or one's ArAdhya. For instance ajapaH is used as a bija to bhagawan Kala Bhairava. Mahanirvana system saves it for the Adya Kali. In its "tantric style" the Gayatri has shapodhArA, utkilana, sanjivani - similar to how the Bala's tryAksharI is awakened. Indeed the diksha is also similar since it is passed not only verbally but also by mudra, nyAsa and normal shakti pAth abisheka. The student then also makes a variety of mudras [i think 13 or so- 8 are the principle mudras after japa], does the priliminary rituals. Some also consider the panchadashAksharI to be gayatri's equivalent. Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Actually I heard from a friend that there is a gayatri that vasistha used and is actually different from Vishwamitra's gayatri. But neither he nor the sastri who initiated him knows about it. Looks like even if it was there its practically lost to us .

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Sandhyavandhanam bashyam (From Sri Ramakrishna math) I have has a footnote regarding gayathri and savithri mantras. Gayathri mantra is Om bhur bhuwah swaha tat savitur.....and savithri is Tat savitur.... On the vyakyanam note for Gayathri mantra, it states that since SHE protects the chanter, SHE is known as Gayathri. Also, since SHE is worshipped as Surya mandalA, SHE is Savitri. Dyana mantra is completely different from stated before. It is "mukthA vidruma neela davaLa...." which of course is part of Gayathri nyasa. The book says, the nyasa can be used if the japa is done by SangOpangam (sanga + upAnga ?) way (which owing to my lack of sanskrit goes over my head). May be if someone explains the term, will be grateful. , kartik gaurav <omkaaraya wrote: > > > > I wouldnt take svabodha's book that seriously, I was given the first two to read from a concerned friend.
