I don't have the authorsation to post on www.dvaita.org. Hence, I am

posting the same here. The moderator may pardon me if posting like

this is not correct.

 

You can listen to Uttaradimutt swamigala lecture on 'Gayatri

Chintane' at http://www.uttaradimath.org/default.htm.

Click onto Digital gallery, then Audio gallery and select the

lectures from Day 1 to Day 5.

He beautifully explains about 'Abhimani devata' and 'Pradipadya

devata' of Gayatri mantra. He also explains the meaning of the

word 'Gayatri', quoting references from Vyasa Smriti, Chandogya and

Brihadaranyaka Upanishat.

 

Hope this helps.

 

With regards,

Niranjan
