Gayathri Devi--a small clarification

[Guest guest]

Dear Member,

 

One member has asked me personally over an email whether Gayathri

Devi is Vishwamitra's daughter. He says that as Brahmin I might be

having more knowledge on this deity.

 

First let me make it clear to you my being a brahmin or not makes no

difference. Infact I dont do gayathri upasana except do my

sandhyavandana as I got my mahameru.

 

Also one who is behind Brahman anveshana can be rightfully called

brahmin and not just because he closes his nose and chants gayathri

mantra.

 

I might sound a bit harsh. But truth is also bitter at times and as

I always say. I rather die with the spit of truth than with the

ambrosia of lies.

 

Gayathri is not the daughter of Vishwamitra if what you seek is a

physical relationship.

 

She is called " Shiva nartaki " and " vishwamitraputri " in various

texts but only symbolically.

 

The deity was in existence even before Vishwamitra.

 

It was vishwamitra who brought out her secret hidden mantra and

bijas.

 

The gayathri mantra which we kaliyuga manavas know is not really the

original gayathri mantra which vishwamitra formed.(Neither is it

parorajasi mantra). It is just savithri mantra in gayathri chandas

and hence is known as gaythri mantra according to one sampradaya

before Yaagnavalkya and who then made this the gayathri mantra.

 

Also,some of my own experiences co-incide with this. Iam not saying

this from the book aghora. Things written by Robert Svoboda is not

for sensationalism but inciting curiosity and making atleast one

persue the path with secrecy and passion.

 

One funny story doing rounds is(even a shivaji ganesan film also

bears the same story)....that vishamitra created gayathri from his

wounds!!..this howler comes from the wrong use of tamil. I have

great respect respect for Tamil and myself read lot of siddha texts

of shiva and shaktha from the language but misuse of a language is

another story which will not be pardoned by me.

 

Gayathri...than gayathaye thiriaaga viathu pusai seidhadhaal gayathri

(Vishwamitra kept his wounds as the 'thiri' for the lamp and did

penance and got gayathri!).....thus goes the 'thaathparya' for

gayathri matha in some Tamil circles. I was agahst at such stories!

Language is beautiful but fanatism is not. Ultimately it all boils

to a eka-vija and a single maatrhika akashara and then even that is

removed then why this hullabulla over languages..pray tell me my

friend?It is like saying in telugu ''Raamuduthokaa

peevarnudu " (Rama's tail is the colour of faeces!) instead

of ''Raamudutho kapivarnudu " (rama accompanied by hanuman). A small

change here and there and the entire truth is distorted...just

imagine how many stories have been distorted thus!

 

Raamudutho kapivarnudu!

 

Shreeram(please leave my tail intact!..hehe!)
