Dear Farah .. i have never heard a Gayatri mantra without bhur buva swaha... as it would make gayatri mantra incomplete. There are some gayatri mantras for other forms of gods too like for Ganesha... so it is possible that in those mantras they dont use bhur bhuva etc. The main gayatri mantra is said to be known to enlightened souls only.. the one we chant is actually a compressed form of main mantra perhaps shantnu or sudhakar would like to add Aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true as aumji said there are gayathri ganesha as well as gayathri lakshmiji and other gods and goddess. True gayathri aumji you are right is not available to us. Let me explain further. The rishi who gave gayathri to the world found gayathri so powerful that many started using it for nefarious activity even at that time, so he cursed the gayathri mantra and deleted some of the wordings from the main mantra but even then the gayathri is still a powerful mantra. One brahmin told me, brahmins have given all health, wealth, progeny etc., mantra to the world but have kept gayathri mantra the mother of all mantras with themselves. There are many multiple uses of the gayathri mantra existing now. When i was anchor person for the laughter club i was told by one person attending the same that his ancestors from kerala to teach then existing king a lesson for the tyranny he was reigning on the people in hush hush manner at midnight in particular group and sequence chanted reverse gayathri mantra leading to the death of the king. Agreed the murder was justified but you cannot wipe out the karma and it seems they knew about it and they say even now, the descendant of those group of brahmins are cursed never to have male child in their line of progeny. The maximum exploitation of the mantra is by the brahmins ofcourse. I read a small booklet many years ago written in marathi language. The author from Pune city said gayathri with 3 aums should be chanted by brahmins only, with two aums by ruling class i.e. shatriyas only, single aum by vaishas - business class and plain bhur bhuv svaha by shudras and women folk only. Hey Farah don't look at me like that i am not a m.c.p. (male chauvinistic pig). I am just quoting the author and even Aradhanaji will vouch for me being pro woman. The mantra is Aum Bhoor bhoosv.... Aum Tatsavitur...... prachodayat Aum... Again start from Aum Bhoor bhoosva etc., etc., To achieve the ultimate success one has to do nyaas etc., and complete 24 lakhs of chanting and only then one can have siddhi of the mantra. For the commoners like us one mala of 108 would be ideal, anything less i am not in favour at all. Anything more fine but minimum chanting should be 108 only. Some do 9 18 27 54 etc., which is okay for an 8 year old kid but rest should try to cover 108 beads chanting. By the way in olden times gayathri mantra was chanted by both males and females without any restriction. In fact the thread ceremony was performed of both males and females unlike now wherein it is only done for the males only. Few years back i read in times of india an article wherein it was stated that Lord Hanumanji while searching for Sita hit upon the idea of scanning the sea coast of Lanka because he felt the sun was setting and his Sitamayaa would be performing Sandhyavandana at sea shore. So in the end Aumji what you have said is right the mantra which is in existence now is the pirated version of the original but still very very powerful. I wonder what may be the power in the original version of gayathri. With best wishes, Sudhakar HARI OM TAT SAT!

To do purascharan of Gayathri mantra which consist of 24 syllabus therefore one has to do 24 lakhs time chanting of the mantra. Once you start you may increase the number but should not decrease it as far as possible. Then taking bath is compulsory. The direction should be East. Asana should be of Darba or Kusa grass on which you should spread woolen mat and over this spread a cotton mat and then seeking permission of all Devi, Devatas, also gram devatas i.e. local deity where you are residing are to be taken. Then you draw a fence round your mat with a chalk chanting nirvignamastu so no evil entities can enter that area and disturb your sadhana. Then starts nyaas which is awakening each body part wherein resides the particular deity. This is simply done by touching that body part with your right hand and saying a particular mantra (i am sorry i don't remember what the mantra is which ofcourse any priest in the temple worth his salt will guide you but please do give him some dakshina for imparting the knowledge of nyaas mantra). It is quite laborious until you get a hang of it and believe me you will always find some vignas (obstacles) preventing you from doing the purascharan of the Gayathri mantra. It is safer to do one single mala daily or if you have time 10 malas would be ideal. This is all that i know of. Hope this satisfies your curiosity. I am sorry i cannot help further than this.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 > Could you please tell us about nyaass. What does it mean and how it Nyas is a complicated, time consuming ritual whereby one invites various Devas/Devis into ones body, before starting Puja. The Devas/Devis add their power to your Sadhna. Nyas isnt necessary for most Sadhnas. The Durga Saptashati usually gives some version of Nyas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid that this all is possible in this Kaliyug and living in the world with going to office, caring for family etc. So, as you said in the end, it is better to do one/two mala daily upto 24 lakh japs. Will that have same results ?? Jai Gurudev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i told was a practical solution unlike 20/30 malas is not within everyone's grasp. But persistence always pays and one must try to see that this small investment is never missed no matter what. Ofcourse our prarabd karma ( the one with which we have come) can sometimes withhold the benefit but for a short duration till they get cleared with regular chanting and there is no way we can know that and therefore continuity is most important. But in Kaliyuga many have no patience and then one grumbles this doesn't work. It has been rightly said, Patience is a virtue, virtue is a grace and two together form a beautiful face. But have you seen many sadhaks have grouchy face. I am not ready to accept any excuse and i am not talking about handsomeness or beauty i am talking about Prasannatha and that requires HEAP OF PATIENCE. Mein kuch jaada to nahin bhola?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Dear Basanthie SewsunkerSai Ram.Your PPt on Gayathri was very good. I had been campaigning for long time for correct pronounciation of Gayathri Manthra. The First line, evey one is using "Svah" Thecorrectspell and pronounciation should "SUVAHA" The words in this line indicates, Bhooloka, Bhuvarloka, and Suvarloka. Wrong pronunciation is not good. It will not produce desired results. Please, I would request you also to join me this campaign, and educate the devotrees in correct pronounciation and spelling.
