the aspirant to the very pinnacle of splendour, power,
peace and bliss.
7. Humility, non-possessiveness, spiritual insight,
selfless service, sacrifice, understanding, forbearance,
universal friendship, unflinching devotion to Truth,
cosmic consciousness and cosmic love and other
divine virtues manifest themselves in man, by the
practise of Gayatri Mantra.
8. Man commits errors and sins due to the darkness of
ignorance. Gayatri blesses with the Light of Truth so
that man cannot fall into the clutches of karma and
rebirth.
9. By opening our third eye of wisdom, it reveals the
past, present and future to us and leads us gently to
the Blessed Abode.
10. Transforming our energy into divine love and
creativity, the light of Gayatri makes our whole life a
divine life.
When should we meditate?
Gayatri meditation is also known as ‘SANDHYUPASANA’ or
‘SANDHYAVANDANA’ which means a meditation at dawn
and dusk.
SANDHYA means the meeting period of day and
night(dusk) and night and day(dawn).
According to Vedic literature our Rishis seemed to insist
only upon early morning and evening worship. Generally
morning prayers are done most profitably between 4.30
and 6.00am and evening prayers between 5.00 and
7.00pm.

Recommendation:
The devotee should :
1. Chant and Meditate on the Gayatri Mantra, daily, at
least ten times in the morning and ten times in the
evening.
2. Do so with your Ishta Devata foremost in your mind.
3. Do so with love, bhakti and shraddha, concentrating
intensely on the Gayatri.
4. Be regular, be consistent and you will feel the power
which is derived from this wonderful and sacred
Gayatri.
In conclusion it is worth noting that although the Gayatri
is intended for spiritual illumination, millions of devotees
who pray for health, wealth, longevity, progeny, etc. have
had those desires also fulfilled.
In the Vedas it is said ‘SAMANO MANTRA’- let one mantra
be common to all. Let this Gayatri Mantra be that
common Mantra for all Mankind. Let us from today give
further serious consideration to words of God that will
brighten our paths as we proceed to His Abode.
