Guest guest Posted November 15, 2000 Report Share Posted November 15, 2000 Am i correct to state that one has to reach a certain spiritual level or be a brahmana to be eligible to recite the Gayatri mantra. Please advise me on this. What can i refer to for some pramaans. Jai shree Sita Rama Deepak Anurag Goel [anurag] Wednesday, 15 November 2000 12:44 AM Ramakrishna [ramakrishna] Re: the holy gayatri mantra Hi hari! Sometime back i wrote about Gayatri Mantra. And also i was reading some quiz questions in new paper there too it was said that " Gayatri Mantra " is relate to Sun. And as such Gayatri Mantra is one of the method of awakening kundalini and realising the oneness. As such it is said that recitation of Gayatri Mantra burns the sins. As far as my experience goes. When i recite Gaytri Mantra it affects Anahata Chakra and my heart opens up and my chest is filled with warmth.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2000 Report Share Posted November 15, 2000 As such it is said that only one has who taken Diksha (Initiation) from a spiritual teacher should recite Gayatri Mantra. If done otherwise one won't get the effect. Thats what i know. I don't know if there have been any exceptions to it.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2000 Report Share Posted November 16, 2000 The gayathri mantra is taught to any aspirant in the spiritual path. An initiation is necessary for such mantras as they have specific metres for chanting. So the only qualification necessary for learning this mantra, is to have the desire to know the Vedas. Why can't a person who desires to know the Vedas be called a brahmana (brahmin)? namaste > > Anurag Goel [sMTP:anurag] > Wednesday, November 15, 2000 5:52 PM > Ramakrishna > RE: [ramakrishna] Re: the holy gayatri mantra > > > As such it is said that only one has who taken Diksha (Initiation) from a > spiritual > teacher should recite Gayatri Mantra.
