The great Gayatri Mantra

Gayatri meditation is the highest form of meditation known in the Vedas. Gayatri is chanted for the attainment of universal consciousness and for the awakening of intuitive powers.
Gayatri meditation destroys all delusions, energizes prana, bestows longevity, health, brilliance and illumination.
The Gayatri Mantra is the key to opening the door of Cosmic Consciousness.
Gayatri Mantra is addressed to the energy of the Sun, Surya. This Mantra has infinite potentiality. It is a vibrant formula. The Gayatri Mantra is the bestower of all that is beneficial to the person who chants it.
Chanting the Gayatri Mantra regularly and with faith relieves diseases, wards of all misery, and fulfills all desires.
“Of all mantras, the supreme and most potent power of powers is the great, glorious Gayatri Mantra.” (Sant Keshavadas – Gayatri, the highest meditation, 1978)
“All spiritual powers and potencies are contained hidden within it. The Gayatri is meditation on spiritual light. While other mantras are great for their purpose, this one is specifically for the purpose of enlightening the intellect.
The Gayatri Mantra is effective in the bringing in of spiritual light into the physical body. The Gayatri Mantra, therefore, will bring luster to the aura and promote the accumulation of spiritual light at the cellular level. This quality alone makes it a powerful healing mantra. It also builds a cumulative quality of protection in form of spiritual armor, with protracted use.” (Thomas Ashley-Farrand, - The Ancient Power of Sanskrit Mantra and Ceremony, Vol. II, 2002)
Gayatri Mantra removes all fears. It is the best cure for all ills. It destroys karma and blessed with liberation. Wherever Gayatri Mantra is chanted, devils and evil spirits are driven away by the fire of that Word of God.
(Sant Keshavadas – Gayatri, the highest meditation, 1978)
