I also thank you for posting this information about the "vedic" day. I wonder if you have more to share about this. I am aware of the Gayatri mantra. My sister once took it upon herself to give me a spiritual name (that is another story). It was Vimala, which she explained was the Shakti of Gayatri. Of course, I don't use this name. I would only use a name Amma has give me, and hopefully when She is here next year, I will get to ask for one. But what do Brahma Gayatri, Vishnu Gayatri, Shiva Gayatri and Kai Gayatri mean? It seems to me this division of the day is very elegant. Jai Ma ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 There are many Gayatri Mantras. Each deity has one. But here I believe he is talking about the Granthis. Please correct me if I am wrong.
