Guest guest Posted August 5, 2000 Report Share Posted August 5, 2000 Namaste The Gayatri Mantra is used for purification. It is used as part of all fire sacrifices, even though the fire sacrifice is used as part of the initiation. Besides the Maha Gayatri Mantra, there are several Gayatri mantras for each Deity, as its a meter as well. Initiation into the Mantra by a Guru is the most efficacious, but you can be initiated by God, or by circumstance as well (it can be argued that these are the same thing). For fun try: http://www.mataji.org/ or http://w3.gwis.com/~ajmani/gayatri.html or http://members.spree.com/education/suniljha/gayatri/gayatri.htm P.S. Note my Signiture, it is a gayatri mantra to my Guru.
