Gayatri Mantra Meaning, Advance benefits and Power


Gayatri Mantra Origin

Gayatri Mantra has been chronicled in Rig Veda which was written in Sanskrit some 3500 years ago. However, it is believed that this mantra has been chanted long before it was recorded in the text. For westerners, this mantra was quite a mystery and even most Hindus couldn’t get the head and tail of it. It was a well-guarded secret from those outside the Hindu-Brahmin community.


Gayatri Mantra Meaning

Today it is chanted and sung around the world with reverence and love. It is akin to Lord’s prayer which holds significance and is quite impactful. It is very soothing and divine in nature and the sounds of it; is healing in nature. Its flowing rhythmic pattern indeed makes it a beautiful part of an individual’s daily Spiritual practice.

Gayatri Mantra Benefits

It is said that the entire mantra spirals through the Universe from the deepest part of the chanters hearts – appealing for the peace and goodwill of all. Gayatri Mantra invokes and inspires wisdom in us. To state it simply the mantra says – “May the divine light of the Supreme Being illuminate our intellect, to lead us along a path of righteousness”.

The Vedas state, to chant the Gayatri Mantra, purifies the Chanter. To listen to the Gayatri Mantra, purifies the listener. However, there is so much more to this beautiful mantra than just purification – it opens your heart center and expands our horizon. Gayatri Mantra helps us to open for new opportunities.

Gayatri Mantra Chanting

The shorter version of Gayatri Mantra is far more common and practiced largely around the world “Om Bhur Bhuva Swaha Om Tat Savitur Varenayam Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo Yonah Prachodayat”; which means We meditate on the glory of the Creator; Who has created the Universe; Who is worthy of Worship; Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light; Who is the remover of Sin and Ignorance; May He open our hearts and enlighten our Intellect.

Power of Gayatri Mantra

Most Hindu see Gayatri as a divine awakening of an individual mind and the individual soul – the awakening of the Atman. There is a union of collective consciousness – a place where we accept the Brahman that we are. The simple power of Gayatri mantra is considered as close to touching God. One popular interpretation of Gayatri Mantra is – ‘Gaya’, meaning vital energies and ‘trâyate or tri’, meaning – one who preserves, protects, gives deliverance, grants liberation.
