There are people everywhere,
chanting the Gayatri Mantra from the heart, which in turn is like a cleansing
breeze moving over our earth. Twenty-four hours a day this mantra is emanating
from an under-current of altruism. What is this mantra all about and why is it
so hauntingly familiar to those who hear it for the first time? The Gayatri
Mantra resonates with beings of all ages and from all over the world. The word
‘beings’ is used here rather than ‘people’ because everything resonates to the
sound, the frequency and meaning of the Gayatri Mantra.
The message of
the Gayatri Mantra is meant for all and
touches everyone. ---ShantiMayi
The Gayatri is an Ancient Vigil. People all over the world are chanting this deeply moving
prayer at this very same time. No matter what time of day or night you may
chant, there are others chanting the mantra too. Gayatri is an ancient vigil
surrounding the planet.
The Gayatri Mantra is one of the keynotes for the

in nature. The mantra is chanted in its original language, Sanskrit. It is one
of the oldest prayers known to humanity; its sentiment is as ancient as light.
This prayer appeals to the highest wisdom, to the brilliance of the cosmos, to
illuminate a realization of our true nature.
Gayatri Mantra
A yantra is a diagram that transmits subtle information of mystical significance
to the one who looks at it. Like a mantra, each yantra embodies a very
particular meaning, opening inner awareness and receptivity to the information
that the yantra expresses. It is said that a yantra is most potent when the bij (Sanskrit letters or syllables)
are in their rightful positions and less
potent when the bij are absent from the diagram. The Gayatri Yantra is a sacred diagram that transmits a subtle language
encoded in the Gayatri’s potential. Geometric yantras may be so precise that
each line is drawn in a certain direction and in a certain progression. Every
curve, every line and even the number of lines convey meaning. Some yantras are
not as precise in structure, but are as precise in the meaning that they convey.The exact message that a yantra embodies is nearly never, if ever,
explained or spoken in words.(Source: http://www.jivanjili.org/gayatri_mantra.html)
