The Gayatri Mantra is considered the quintessence of all the wisdom of the Vedas. Everything that has been incorporated into these sacred texts for centuries has been embodied in a few words that only priests used to read when they met every new dawn. Now these words have become available to all comers. Anyone can use the wisdom of India to realize their desires in life, or at least to cleanse themselves of evil powers.
What is the Gayatri Mantra ?
A mantra is a sequential set of words, a small text that is customary to chant for a specific purpose. The Vedas contain various verses that are recommended for use in specific life situations. Only the Gayatri Mantra is found in all the Vedas, of which there are four, as you know.
The word Gayatri itself has several meanings. This is the name of the goddess, and the size of the verse, and the name of the mantra. The Highest Being of the same name blesses and protects everyone who regularly uses this verse, who glorifies spirituality and power (as the yogis say).
What is the meaning of the Gayatri Mantra ?
There are a lot of translations of this verse. Since the words that make up it are ambiguous, their combination gives rise to various images. For example, you can put the following meaning in this verse: “God is like the sun ! Glorify and look at it! The light of his face illuminates us, falling upon us! The sun shines radiantly. We behold it. Let it direct us along the path of truth! Merge with the light Of the Sun, we acquire the truth and meaning of God! Oh, Source of Divine Light! Give me one of my innumerable rays so that I can blaze for a moment as brightly as you! "
Each person intuitively puts into his understanding what his soul radiates. An appeal to the Higher Forces for advice and support is what the Gayatri Mantra is. The text is pronounced in an unfamiliar language. But he quickly absorbs into the subconscious, creating music there that is consonant with the understanding of sunlight and joy!
For whom is the Gayatri Mantra created ?
It used to be that all such texts were created only for the initiates. Only priests could read this mantra. A different understanding is now being put into reading and using the Vedas, of which the Gayatri Mantra is an integral part. Sai Baba, the famous Indian Saint, practically made a cultural revolution in the religious society of the country. He stated that everything that is the heritage of the ancient sages was created for absolutely all people. Neither caste, nor gender, nor skin color, nor human faith matters. Anyone can use the Vedas for their own good and happiness of other people.
How to read a mantra
Sai Baba recommended pronouncing each word clearly. So that you yourself understand what you are saying. But, besides this, when reading a verse you need to visualize your understanding of the Divine light for everyone. Gayatri Mantra - not a talisman for personal use. This appeal to the Higher Forces with a request to give enlightenment to all mankind! There is no selfish meaning in it.
