GAYATRI MANTRA
The Gayatri Mantra is an ancient hymn, which when sung by enough
people has the power to transform consciousness. Its vibrations are identical
to that of the primary vital force in nature. It is one of the oldest invocations
known to humanity, and is as ancient as light itself. The mantra is sung not
spoken and is most effective when done so in its original Sanskrit language.
And, it is even more effective when the singer fully understands the true meaning
underlying its sound.
The Power of the Gayatri Mantra appeals to the highest wisdom - to the brilliance
of the cosmos which illumines an understanding of our true nature. The mantra
is an appeal that asks that we become subtle and receptive channels for the
divine wisdom that pervades the experience of life in human form and which is
the essence of our very own Self.
To sing the Gayatri Mantra purifies the singer. To listen to the gayatri mantra
purifies the listener. This sacred prayer and archetypal mantra vibration spirals
through the entire universe from the heart of the singer and appeals for peace
and divine wisdom for all. This Mantra is empowered to burn all mankind’s
sorrows by virtue of worship to the Divine; this mantra is for a happy, healthy,
peaceful life and even to attain Salvation or Liberation. In this pious way
the Gayatri Mantra is the most beneficial mantra for all for human beings
