    Hi Indusladies, :thumbsup



    We are doing our daily prayers. The below two mantras are very powerful which been briefed with meaning. At present, we people don’t know where we are going what for we are working a machine life. Time criteria, work pressure and stress people are not finding time for prayer. We used to say these mantra’s everyday. Hope our friends can…..





    Gayatri Mantra




    AumBhurBhuvah Swah, Tat Savitur Varenyam
    Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi, DhiyoYo Nah Prachodayat


    When we take Mantram, Gayathri Mantram is said to be chief of all Mantrams. While saying this Mantram, we not only get the blessing of Sri Gayathri Devi but also get the blessings of Surya Devan. And this mantram is equivalent to the rays of Suryan. That kind of speciality and greatness, this Gayathri mantram has.

    Goddess Gayathri is considered the veda mata, the mother of all Vedas and the consort of the God Brahma.She seats on a red lotus, signifying wealth.The Gayathri mantra by the sage Vishwamitra" is considered the supreme mantra among all.The Baghavad Gita also clearly exalts the Gayathri Mantra is the supreme among mantras.

    In Sanskrit, Gayathri means Kaayantham Thirayatha. The explanation of this is the person who is chanting this mantram will be protected by Sri Gayathri Devi.

    This Mantram doesn't belong to any specific caste (or) religion. It is a common mantram and can be chanted by anyone.

    Gayatri Devi is an incarnation of Saraswati Devi, consort of Lord Brahma, symbolising the "shakti" (strength) and "dev" (quality) of Knowledge, Purity and Virtue. Saraswati Devi is held to be the patronness of the Arts, being a poet and musician, as well as skillful composer. In the form of Gayatri Devi, with the blessings of Lord Brahma, she is believed to have given the four Vedas to mankind.

    For every Mantram, there will be one Rishi, who is termed to be the Kartha (person who will be main for that and will be equivalent to that mantram). Vishwamitra, who belongs to Kshatriya Kula, is referred to as the Kartha for this great Gayathri Mantra. So this Mantram is not only for Brahmanars, Vedic peoples etc but also for Kshatriyas and to all in this world.



    Shanti (Peace) Mantra Summary


    Asato maa, Sadgamayaa
    Tamaso maa, Jyotirgamayaa ;
    Mrityor maa, Amritam Gamayaa.

    Asato-Maa, Sad Gamaya - From untruth to Truth! Untruth is the death of the ego. The Truth is eternal and immortal. So once you are part of the Truth, there is no question of death at all. My friends, the third barrier stopping enlightenment is the barrier of ego. Therefore, to experience God, we should see that the ego dies as early as possible.

    Tamasoma, Jyotir Gamaya - There lies the light of wisdom. Tamas is the darkness. Jyoti is the light. With light, darkness is dispelled. Darkness is death. The light is Truth, Bliss, Peace. The light is eternal.

    Mrityor maa, Amritam Gamayaa - Lead me from death to immortality through purity of purpose.

    We are birthless, deathless and eternal; we are Truth itself. We celebrate birthdays because, having enough money, we want to have a social function. We enjoy it for a while, happily arranging it. Happy Birthday! But actually you were never born. It is only the body that appeared. That's all! You existed even before the existence of this body.

    Sai Baba gives this beautiful example: There is electricity everywhere. But when it is inside the electric light bulb, it sheds light. When the bulb is removed, the electricity is still there, is that not so? So, electricity is ever-present. When the bulb is fixed, you get illumination. When the bulb is removed, you don't get illumination. With the bulb or without the bulb, electricity exists. You are Divine energy. You are Cosmic energy. You are the eternal Truth. The bulb is the body. That's all!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the post. In our house, the gayatri mantra is the prayer we say before going to bed. We started with our son when he was 3 yrs old. He is now 11 yrs old and still says it and he also taught it to his little sister.
    If you don't mind I would like to mention this site where they have word to word meaning...
