Re: gAyatrI mantra: tradition
The Gayatri Mantra was actually revealed in the holy place of modern-day
Kayavarohan, Gujarat.
In our shastras, there actually exist Gayatri mantras for each main caste,
with varying metres, and also slightly different wordage.
Unfortunately in the Kali Yuga, the Gayatri Mantra is recited with great
distortion, both in pronunciation and intonation. A distorted saying of
the Gayatri brings negative effects to those who chant and hear it,
according to our scriptures. Then again, I guess it is good that in this
day and age, at least there are those who chant and meditate on the sacred
Gayatri Mantra.
Prabhu
