The Gayatri Mantra

·         The vedic form of the famous Gayatri mantra is:

·        Aum bhur-bhuvah-swah tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dheeahi dhiyo yo nah prachodayat.

·         This can be translated: Aum. Let us contemplate the spirit of the divine of the earth, the atmosphere and heaven. May that inspire our minds. Savitri is the Sun and this mantra is RECITED at the three junctions or twilight of the day.

·         Here is described how the mantra Aum hums in the base or Muladhara chakra, and moves through seven stages to the chakra above the head. (Sahasrara).

·         Maha Vishnu describes Aum as consisting of the following.

·         Bhuhu is existence, Bhuvah is the elements, Svah is the atma of everything, Maha is greatness and light, Tat is Brahman (the absolute)

·         Tapah is all knowledge, Satyam is supremacy and internal wisdom. This tantra connects the three letters of Aum to the seven worlds.

·         Tat, refers to the first cause of all substance, as fire in the circle of the sun and is supreme Brahman.

·         Savituhu is the source of all living beings.

·         Varenyam is the excellent one who receives adoration.

·         Bharga destroys si destroys sins

·         Devasya means it is full of light, while Dheemahi refers to knowledge being golden and always within the sun.

·         Dhiyo means Buddhi ·         Yo stands for energy (tejas).

·        The mantra is divided into three sections of eight letters and four sections of six letters.

·         A dhyana (meditation) - Gayatri as having four faces, which are white, yellow, red and black.

·         Yet the tantrik tradition has different views of the Gayatri. For example, in the Matrikabhedatantra, there is a couplet, which says a person who knows the Brahman (the absolute) is a Brahmin.

·         In the tantrik tradition, each aspect of devata has her or his own form of the Gayatri and it is often pronounced at the four junctions of the day, including midnight.

·        For example, Tripurasundari Gayatri runs:

·        Tripurasundari Vidmahe, Kameshvari Dheemahi, and Tanno Klinne Prachodayat.

·         This means: Let us contemplate Tripurasundari, let us think of Kameshvari, May that wetness direct.

·         The Gandharva Tantra uses the 24 different syllables of this mantra in Sanskrit as visualization, starting from the base of the spine and moving to the top of the head.

  • The other tantrik Gayatri is a mantra known as Ajapa. This is recited by every living being unconsciously 21,600 times a day as she or he breathes. Half are Sun breaths and half are Moon breaths. It consists of the letters Ha and Sa.
