Gayatri Mantra or Gayathri Mantra
Gāyatrī is considered the veda mata. Gayatri is a Culmination
(combination) of Lakshmi, Saraswathi and Parvati Devi. The Gāyatrī Mantra
is an ultimate and highly revered mantra of Hindus which is derived from
Rigveda (3.63.10), attibuted to Maharishi
Viśvāmitra. It is praised in almost all vedic and Hindu religious texts.
The famous Gayathri Mantra is the only mantra which is not a Prayoga
Mantra. It is being chant for the well being and cannot be used for any other
purpose.
During upanayanam, it is being ordered to chant the Gayathri Mantra
atleast 108 times a day. (But 1008 times chanting of gayathri is the best)
Gayatri mantra upadesam usually done on Upanayanam day for Brahmins. Only
during this upadesam mother (female) is allowed. (No other mantras generally not
taught to females earlier).
Hindu reform movements spread the practice of the mantra to include women and
all castes and not gayatri mantra is used by all.
