Some points to note when chanting (Explanations clearly
included in the online link above via videos)
(1) The OM is long and not a short one.It is
OOOOOMMMMMM.
(2) The ending aaa in Suvahaa is extended,like suvahaaaaaaa

(3) The N in Varenyam is a palatal N.The tongue should touch


the palate of the mouth.The ending MMM in Varenyam should
vibrate on the lips for some time.

Buddhi ! .

THE TONGUE MUST TOUCH THE PALATE OF THE MOUTH ( ROOF OF MOUTH )
DURING THE 'N' IN 'VARENYAM'.

-It will protect you from harm wherever you are --traveling,
working, or at home. The Gayatri Mantra will protect us from
harm wherever we are,whether in a bus or car,in a railway train
or in a plane,in a bazaar or on the road.Do we need any
protection other than what we can get by chanting the Gayatri
Mantra? No.Sai Baba tells us that, ' The Gayatri Mantra is
enough to protect the person who chants it'. Why is the Gayatri
Mantra enough to protect the person who chants it? The Gayatri
Mantra is enough to protect the person who chants it because,the
Gayatri Mantra embodies all Divine Potencies.

mind and intellect also be cleansed. Make it a point to repeat it
when you bathe as well as before every meal, when you wake
from sleep, and when you go to bed. And also repeat santhi

thrice at the end, for that repetition will give santhi or peace to
three entities in you --body, mind, and soul.[Sai Baba, 20-61977]

proclaims that He is Gayatri in Veda mantras.

LORD KRISHNA IS GAYATRI IN VEDA MANTRAS.

-" It is essential to recite the Gayatri mantra at least three times


during morning, noon, and evening. This will serve to reduce
the effects of the wrong acts one does every day. It is like
buying goods for cash, instead of getting them on credit. There
is no accumulation of karmic (result of action) debt, since each
day's karma (action) is atoned for that day itself by reciting the
Gayatri mantra ( Sai Baba )
-"One who repeats the Mantra 108 times in each sitting will
attain radiance soon.One who repeats the Mantra 1008 times
with sincerity and devotion in each sitting will attain
illumination in 40 days." (SATGURU SANT KESHAVADAS)

Gayatri Mantra leads to enlightenment

- Gayatri must be worshipped as a Mother.The Vedas proclaim


Gayatri to be such a Mother.The benefit we derive from the
Gayatri Mantra is the cleansing of the mind - Chitta suddhi.
Even other Mantras have this ultimate purpose.However, Chitta
suddhi is the direct result of Gayatri Japa. (The
Shankaracharya of Kaanchiipuram )
- All of the Vedas and all Mantras are represented when chanting
the Gayatri Mantra.And,their purpose and powers are included
when the Gayatri Mantra is chanted.This is why Gayatri Maa is
called , the mother of the Vedas.

- All Gods and Goddesses are embodied within Mata


Gayatri. ( Sai Baba )
If the Gayatri Mantra is not recited
correctly,it has the opposite effect of
enveloping the person in darkness.But,if we
recite it with Love,God will accept it. ( Sai
baba )

More Info Regarding the Gayatri Mantra.

-Even westerners,who experiment with the


Gayathri Mantra find that it has power.The
mantra should be said by a person,well practiced in

spiritual life.
( Sai Baba,Conversations with Sathya Sai
Baba,p.119 )
-Westerners have investigated the vibrations
produced by this ( Gayatri Mantra ) and have
found that when it is recited with correct
accent as laid down in the Vedas,the
atmosphere around becomes visibly
illumined.So,Brahama-prakasha,the effulgence of
Brahma,will descend on you and illumine your
intellect and light your path when this Mantra is
chanted.The Gayathri is the 'Annapurna'
Mother,the Force that animates all Life.So do not
neglect it.
( Sai Baba,SSS,Vol X, edition : 1980, p.122 )
- If you intend to overcome the delusion,you must
establish yourself in God.The Bhrama ( delusion )
can be overcome only by the attainment of DaiviShakti ( divine power ). The Gayatri promotes
the acquisition of Daivi-shakti.
( Sai Baba, SSS, Vol.IV,edition :
1981,p.07,Discourse on 26 April 1965 )
- The gayathri Mantra develops the Dhee Shakti
( intellectual power) or the power of
discrimination.So,its consequence will be the giving
up of evil company and the seeking of kindred

souls.
( Sai Baba , SSS, Vol.IV edition :
1981,p.407,Discourse on 26 April 1965 )

THe Gayathri Mantra is a prayer for the


development of your intellect
( Sai Baba,SSS,Vol.IV , p.410,Discourse on 26 April
1965 )
-

- The Gayatri will protect your body,make your


intellect shine and improve your power of
speech.That is why Gayatri is considered to be very
important for this second stage of ( student) life,in
which you are entering today.
( Sai Baba,SS, 6/95, pp.166 & 167 )
-Sage Manu lays special stress on Gayatri.He has
declared that the gayatri is the very life-breath of
the Brahmin.It is not his declaration only;it is the
truth.What is more efficient for spiritual uplift than
Dhyana ( meditation ) on the effulgence that
illumines and feeds the intellect of man ?What is

more vitally fruitful than prayer,which pleads for


saving the mind from sin-ward tendencies ? For
man,there is no better armour than the cultivation
of virtues.Manu states that the Brahmin will not
lose his status as long as he holds on the Gayatri
and is inspired by its meaning.He says that if he is
too weak to pursue the study of the Vedas,he must
at least recite the Gayatri Mantra and adhere to it
till the very end.The Smriti ( Manu-smriti) too says
that there is no treasure richer than the
Gayatri.
( Sai Baba,Dharma Vahini,Reprint 2001,pp.43
& 44 )

- There can be no fanaticism,no hatred,no rivalry,if


the Gayatri is adhered to.Its Japa ( recitation )
will clarify the passions and promote love.
( Sai Baba,SSS,Vol.VI,edition : 1982,p.114 )
''The regular repetition of a few Malas (one
Mala consists of repeating the Gayatri Mantra
108 times) of Gayatri every day will bestow
upon you all that is auspicious and
benevolent to you, herein and hereafter.'' No driver of a car identifies himself with the
car.Likewise,the body is a car and the Atma is the
driver.Forgetting one's true role as a driver,one is
identifying one's self with the body,which is only a

vehicle.This truth is emphatically brought out by


the Gayatri MANTRA
(Sai Baba,SS,9/95.p.234 )
-Chanting of the gayathri mantra purifies the mind
and confers devotion,detachment and wisdom
( Sai Baba,SS, 3/2000, p/71 )

- If you chant the Gayathri Mantra whole-heartedly,you will


never face difficulties or hardships in life.Chant the divine name
incessantly
( Sai Baba,SS 3/2000 , p.72 )

-The Gayatri Mantra enabled Sage Viswamitra to use rare


weapons which bowed to his will when the Mantra was repeated
with faith. Through the powers he attained in this way,
Viswamitra was able to create a counterpart of this Cosmos.
(Sathya Sai Vahini - 184)
- Bhagavan's advice to young people is that they should chant
the Gayatri Mantra when taking their bath.Bhagavan says that
when we take our bath, we are cleansing our bodies. Therefore,
we should take this opportunity to cleanse our minds and
intellects also at the same time.
-The more one chants the Gayatri Mantra, the greater the
benefit to the one who chants it.
- We should chant the Gayatri Mantra at least 108 times
(One Mala) every morning. This will take only 15 minutes.
-At least one Mala of Japa you must do daily without a
break. It will guard you from all dangers, give you infinite
strength to overcome all obstacles, and take you to the very
pinnacle of splendour, power, peace and bliss.
To repeat the Gavatri Mantra 24,000 times is very
auspicious.

Today,a great deal of wickedness,troubles and turmoils are


prevalent in the world because of the decline of the influence in
the Vedas.Water,air,food,noise are all tainted by pollution.We are
forced to lead a polluted life.When the air we breathe itself is
polluted,how can we lead a pollution-free life ? The
environment and elements should be pure to ensure purity of the
heart.The cause of this pollution lies nowhere else except in our
own actions.Whatever words we utter,they spread in the entire
atmosphere.We can purify the world by chanting the Vedas and
singing the glory of God.The Rishis ( saints ) in ancient times
used to move to forests and chant the powerful Vedic mantras
to purify the atmosphere of the whole world.These Vedas are
neglected today Baba
