Gayatri Mantra

What You Need To Know

The Gayatri mantra is one of the oldest and most powerful of Sanskrit mantras. It is believed that by chanting the Gayatri mantra and firmly establishing it in the mind, if you carry on your life and do the work that is ordained for you, your life will be full of happiness.

The word "Gayatri" itself explains the reason for the existence of this mantra. It has its origin in the Sanskrit phrase Gayantam Triyate iti, and refers to that mantra which rescues the chanter from all adverse situations that may lead to mortality.

Goddess Gayatri is also called "Veda-Mata" or the Mother of the Vedas — Rig, Yajur, Saam and Atharva — because it is the very basis of the Vedas. It is the basis, the reality behind the experienced and the cognized universe.

The Gayatri mantra is composed of a metre consisting of 24 syllables — generally arranged in a triplet of eight syllables each. Therefore, this particular meter (tripadhi) is also known as the Gayatri Meter or "Gayatri Chhanda."

The Mantra

Aum
Bhuh Bhuvah Svah
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
Dhiyo Yo nah Prachodayat


~ The Rig Veda (10:16:3)


The Meaning

"O thou existence Absolute, Creator of the three dimensions, we contemplate upon thy divine light. May He stimulate our intellect and bestow upon us true knowledge."

Or simply,

"O Divine mother, our hearts are filled with darkness. Please make this darkness distant from us and promote illumination within us."

Inner Meaning & Analysis

Let us take each word of the Gayatri Mantra and try to understand its inherent meaning.

The First Word Om (Aum)
It is also called Pranav because its sound emanates from the Prana (vital vibration), which feels the Universe. The scripture says "Aum Iti Ek Akshara Brahman" (Aum that one syllable is Brahman).

When you pronounce AUM:
A - emerges from the throat, originating in the region of the navel
U - rolls over the tongue
M - ends on the lips
A - waking, U - dreaming, M - sleeping
It is the sum and substance of all the words that can emanate from the human throat. It is the primordial fundamental sound symbolic of the Universal Absolute.

The "Vyahrities": Bhuh, Bhuvah & Svah
The above three words of the Gayatri are called Vyahrities. Vyahriti is that which gives knowledge of entire cosmos or "ahriti". The scripture says: "Visheshenh Aahritih sarva viraat, praahlaanam prakashokaranh vyahritih".

Now, let us understand the different meanings of these words given in the scriptures:

Bhuh Bhuvah Svah
Earth Atmosphere Beyond Atmosphere
Past Present Future
Morning Noon Evening
Tamas Rajas Sattwa
Gross Subtle Causal


Thus, by uttering these three words, the chanter contemplates the Glory of God that illumines the three worlds or the regions of experience.

The Remaining Words

Tat simply means "that" because it defies description through speech or language, the "Ultimate Reality."
Savitur means "Divine Sun" (the ultimate light of wisdom) not to be confused with the ordinary sun.
Varenium means " adore"
Bhargo means "illumination"
Devasya means "Divine Grace"
Dheemahi means "we contemplate"
Dhi means intellect
Yo means "who"
Nah means "ours"
Prachodayat means "requesting / urging / praying"

The last five words constitute the prayer for final liberation through the awakening of our true intelligence.

Gayatri is the embodiment of all Gods and all Mantras

There is no need to chant any other Mantra if you chant the "Gayatri Mantra" Sathya Sai Baba, March 2000

Ah, so it is :-)

 

Thank you, Monika! I LOVE this mantra :-) And yet, sometimes I sing others - out of pure JOY - LOL!

 

Love, Light and BLESSINGS,

Against what one might thing from the name GAYATRI,

this mantra is sung in reverence of the SUN, not the Earth ...

Gayatri Mantra

Dieser Artikel beschäftigt sich mit dem Gayatri-Mantra. Über die Göttin siehe Gayatri (Göttin).

Gayatri (Sanskrit. f., गायत्री, gāyatrī, die weibliche Form von gāyatra (Hymnus)), bezeichnet im Hinduismus die bedeutendste vedische Hymne, das Gayatri-Mantra. Ebenso ist Gayatri das Versmaß, in dem das Mantra geschrieben wurde. Es wendet sich an Savitar (m., savitṛ)[1], den Aspekt der Sonne bei ihrem Auf- und Untergang, weshalb man dieses Mantra auch Savitri (f., sāvitrī) nennt.

Ursprung und Bedeutung [Bearbeiten]

Dieses überaus populäre Mantra, laut Tradition die „Mutter der Veden“, ist für viele Hindus das tägliche Gebet, das sich jedoch nicht an eine personale Gottheit wendet, sondern an die Sonne als sichtbare Repräsentation des Höchsten. Neben der Lobpreisung enthält es die Bitte um geistige ErleuchtungSavitri steht für den Ursprung des gesamten Universums sowie den Beginn allen Seins und die Upanishaden identifizieren ihn an mehreren Stellen auch mit Atman, dem inneren Selbst des Menschen.

War es früher nur Gläubigen aus höheren Kasten erlaubt, das Mantra zu rezitieren, beten es heute weitgehend alle Hindus, meist in gesungener Form. Besondere Pflicht ist es jedoch für Angehörige der Brahmanen-Kaste, wo die Jungen im Upanayana, dem Initiationsritus zwischen dem sechsten und zwölften Jahr, offiziell in das besondere Mantra eingeführt werden. Von nun an gehört die andächtige Rezitation in der Morgendämmerung, zu Mittag sowie in der Abenddämmerung zu den täglichen Aufgaben. Sie soll nicht nur besondere spirituelle Kräfte fördern, sondern auch geistige Unreinheiten beseitigen.

Das Gayatri-Mantra setzt sich aus einer Zeile des Yajurveda und dem Vers 3.62.10 des Rig Veda zusammen. Außer in den Veden finden sich auch in vielen anderen hinduistischen Schriften, denUpanishaden ebenso wie in der Bhagavadgita und in der späteren Literatur unzählige Hinweise auf Heiligkeit und mystische Bedeutung.

Gayatri ist all das existierende Sein. Die Sprache ist Gayatri, denn es ist die Sprache, die singt und die alle Furcht überwindet. (Chandogya Up. III.12.1.-6)

In der Bhagavadgita (10.35) identifiziert sich Krishna mit dem höchsten Mantra:

„… von den Metren bin ich Gayatri …“

Urheber dieser vierundzwanzig Silben des Gayatri-Mantra soll der Seher Vishvamitra sein, von dem es in den Puranas heißt, er sei der erste von insgesamt vierundzwanzig Rishis gewesen, die den Sinn des Mantras vollkommen erfasst hätten.

Im Laufe der Zeit wurde das Mantra personifiziert. Als personale Verkörperung gilt die Göttin Gayatri, Frau des Schöpfergottes Brahma.

Übersetzung [Bearbeiten]

Durch die Vielschichtigkeit enthalten die Zeilen mehrere Bedeutungsebenen, was zu sehr unterschiedlichen Übersetzungen führt.

ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः ।
तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं ।
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि ।
धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥
  • In Umschrift
oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tát savitúr váreniyaṃ
bhárgo devásya dhīmahi
dhíyo yó naḥ pracodáyāt
  • In Deutsch:
Om, wir meditieren über den Glanz des verehrungswürdigen Göttlichen,
den Urgrund der drei Welten, Erde, Luftraum und himmlische Regionen.
Möge das Höchste Göttliche uns erleuchten, auf dass wir die höchste Wahrheit erkennen. [2]
  • In Englisch (von S. Krishnamurthy):
We meditate upon the radiant Divine Light
of that adorable Sun of Spiritual Consciousness;
May it awaken our intuitional consciousness.

A Tree Conversation ....

Posted by Amoran on May 18, 2013 at 3:41am 10 Comments

Hello Dear Family and Greetings!



Well, it is Friday and the Trees and I wish to share.



I am still a bit shy about such things, but our Brothers, the Trees, are not!



On another forum, someone asked me to "interview" the Trees by submitting solicited questions from the reader populace. I was not all that excited, but the Trees were! Laughing now .... I shall surely desire not to do this for aliving.



When I publicly accepted I was immediately attacked and…

Just thought of a dream i had in mid-December (forgot to add this to my 1st blog) when i really started to meditate on Gaia's ascension..and the rest of humanity..and to try to better myself in the process..

During meditation I'd try to contact some friends in the UK..I'm in Canada..We'd all meditate at the same time..different local times of course..

I'd use solara an ra meditation youtube videos to help me.

I usually go to bed early..around 9:30..now if i remember…
