    Gayatri Mantra Meaning
    In hinduism, the true meaning of the word gayatri is “Mother of all vedas” as it is supposed to be the origin point of the vedas. Just as a mother is the origin point or the very basis of a child. This is the reason as why Goddess Gayatri is also termed as the “Veda-Mata”. It is supposed to be the prayer of the supreme lord of all beings. The best part about Gayatri mantra is that it can be universally applicable. It is not created for a perticular religion, cast, color or ethinicity but for the enlightment and protection of the whole human kind.

    The sages in ancient times arranged the words of gayatri mantra in such a fashion which does not only give it a unique meaning but also generates very powerful vibrations.

The positive effects of chanting, listening and thinking of gayatri mantra makes it a popular choice for meditation, all over the world.

    One general fact about all the sanskrit shlokas and mantras is that, these all are designed so intelligently to utter a specific meaning as well as to create unique vibrations which not only provide inner peace but also helps in the awakening of various hidden powers in human body. Continuouse chanting of these shlokas and mantras create a powerful magnetic energy circle in and outside of chantee. This is the main reason that the chantee is advised to sit upon a mattress of grass, wool or any non-conductor material while chanting these mantras so as to stop the earthing of produced energy.

    Gayatri mantra is sometimes called 'Maha mantra' i.e. 'Great Mantra' or 'Great Shlok'. It is the most important and popular 'mantra', so much that people have personified it as goddess 'Gayatri'.
    Benefits :
    There are many large and small, visible and invisible glands in the body.The utterance of different words has its impact on different glands and by such impact the energy of these glands gets stimulated. Mantras have been composed on this basis. There are twenty-four letters in Gayatri-Mantra which are related to twenty-four such glands located in the body which, on getting stimulated, activate and awaken the powers of righteous wisdom.
