[Meaning of Gayathri Slokam]

[Guest guest]

Dearest SrI MAlOlan cadAmbi,

 

I quote the rule of the net as follows:

" 10.Thiruvashtaaksharam, Dwayam, and other Vedic manthras must not be written

out in their complete form. "

 

The gAyatri mantra is a Vedic mantra. You can refer the SrI VaishNava

sandyAvandana bhAshyam to get to know the meaning of gAyatri mantra

and the dyAna slokas for the japam of the same. Please note that all

mantras must be obtained only through AchArya upadESam.

 

Within the premise of the net rules I quote swAmi SrIman nigamAntha

mahA dESika's extraordinary SathadhUshNi to give only the outline

meaning of gAyatri mantra:

 

" pratipurushamanEkA: prathyavastham vichithrA:

Subhagathishu dhiyO ya: chOdayathyanjasA na: |

akhila chidachidantharyAmi thad-VishNu-samjgnyam

savitrurahamupAsE thasya dEvasya bharga: || "

 

This verse came to my memory as soon as I read your mail.

If time permits and if the meaning of the same can be written in the

list (SrI Dileepan swAmi or SrI Anand K Karalapakkam! Please advise in

this regard) I will elaborately write the meaning of the gAyatri mantra and

that of the dyAna slokams for the japam of the same; Ofcourse within

the net rules. The net rules are wonderful and in strict accordance

with the SAstra, which I want to respect always.

 

Thanks & Regards

Dear Bhaktas,

 

Although adiyen has been reciting the gayathri mantram during sandhyavandana

kaalam regularly, adiyen did not attempt to learn the meaning of the gayathri

mantram and the slokas recited during sandhayavandana.

 

I wish to learn the same. But I do not know if it can be discussed over the

internet or should it be strictly learnt through guru-upadesham?

 

Thanks and Regards,

 

Adiyen Ramanuja Daasan,
