Swami on the Gayathri Manthra - 3

[Guest guest]

"Gayantham Thraayathe Iti Gayathri". Because it protects the one who recites it, It is called Gayathri.When Gayathri acts as protector of the life-forces, She is known as "Savithri".'Savithri is the presiding deity of the five pranas. She protects those who lead a life of Truth. This is the inner meaning. When one's intelligence and intuition are developed by the recitation of the mantra, the activating deity is "Gayathri". When the life-forces are protected, the guardian deity is called "Savithri". When one's speec is protected, the deity is called "Saraswathi". Because of the protective roles of "Savithri, Saraswathi and Gayathri" in relation to life, speech and the intellect, Gayathri is described as "Sarvadevathaa-swarupini"- the embodiment of all the Goddesses or Deities.The Gayathri mantra has to be recited three times a day - in the morning at sunrise, at noon, and at

sunset.These are called "Sandhyaa Kaalam" - the time of coming together of night and day, of morning and evening, and of day and night.Time, like man, has three qualities-Satva, Rajas and Tamas. The day is divided into three parts. The four hours between 4.00.a.m and 8.00.a.m. in the morning and between 4.00.p.m. and 8.00.p.m. in the evening have the Satva quality. The eight hours between 8.00.a.m. in the morning and 4.00.p.m. are Rajasic. The eight hours between 8.00.p.m. and 4.00.a.m. which are mainly used for sleep, are Tamasic. The eight hours of the day from 8.00.a.m to 4.00.p.m. are employed by all beings, including animals and birds, in the discharge of their day to day duties and are regarded as Rajasic. When When the four Satvic hours of the morning 4.00.a.m. to 8.00.a.m. are used for engaging one-self in good actions like worship, virtuous deeds, keeping good company, one is sure to raise him self from the human to the Divine level. It is during the Satvic period

from 4.00.a.m. to 8.00.a.m. the Gayathri manthra should be recited.

Dear Sri Kumar: I am reading your articles under the caption with great interest, since it is my favourite subject. Whatever may be the explanations, unless the gayathri is chanted/pronounced perfectly, there is no good benifit. In many places, people chant "Bhoor Bhuva Svah" or even "swaha". I have written several articles in the net explaining that it should be "Suvaha" not "svah". You had also mentioned in yoursecond article as "svah". The important vovwel "U" is always missing. Please urge your popular readers to chant/pronounce correctly. Love Srinivasankumar mahadevan <mahadevan12 wrote: "Gayantham Thraayathe Iti Gayathri".
