Gayatri is the Mother of all scriptures (Vedas). She is present, wherever Her name is chanted. She is very powerful. The One who nourishes the individual being is Gayatri. She bestows pure thoughts on anyone who worships Her. She is the embodiment of all Goddesses. Our very breath is Gayatri, our faith in existence is Gayatri. Gayatri has five faces, they are the five life principles. She has nine descriptions, they are ‘Om, Bhur, Bhuvah, Swah, Tat, Savitur, Vareñyaṃ, Bhargo, Devasya’. Mother Gayatri nourishes and protects every being and she channelizes our senses in the proper direction. ‘Dhīmahi’ means meditation. We pray to her to inspire us with good intelligence. ‘Dhīyo Yonah Prachodayāt’ - We beseech her to bestow on us everything we need. Thus Gayatri is a complete prayer for protection, nourishment and finally, liberation.
It s a sacred chant that demonstrates the unity that underlies manifoldness in creation. It is through the recognition of this unity that we can understand the multiplicity. Clay is one and the same thing, though pots of different shapes and sizes can be made from it. Gold is one, though gold ornaments can be multifarious. The Spirit is one, though the embodied forms in which it resides may be many. Whatever the colour of the cow, the milk is always white.
WILL YOU JOIN US for the Get Your Chant On Celebration?
To help you I have just sung and recorded my own version of the Gayatri Mantra with some Tibetan Meditation Bowls in the background. These Tibetan bowls are tuned to 528Hz and will help you to enter a deep state of relaxation. You can follow the chanting with me in the below sound player for as long as you wish. Try it out and see if you can do 15 minutes.. then see how you feel during the rest of the day. You need to do this for 7 days, and then you can post and share your experiences with us.
Please include the tag "chant" so we can all find it. I will be reading and responding to everyone who posts.. as will many of us on the @ecoTrain.
You can access and hear it below, just click play!
