Gayathri Mantra the foremost mantra in Hinduism .The Gayatri Mantra is a highly revered mantra in Hinduism, second only to the mantra Om. The Gâyatrî Mantra is from the Rig Veda (iii, 62, 10), which has existed in written form for at least 2500 to 3500 years.
Gayathri’ is not actually the Goddess, which sounds surprising but she is held in equal reverence because she is the mother of the Vedas or Divine Knowledge.
The word Gâyatrî is made from these two words:
gaya – vital energies
trâyate – preserves, protects, gives deliverance, grants liberation.
So, the two words “Gâyatrî Mantra” might be translated as: a prayer of praise that awakens the vital energies and gives liberation.
By many Hindus, the Gayatri is seen as a Divine awakening of the mind and soul, and within it a way to reach the most Supreme form of existence, and the way to Union with Brahman. Understanding, and purely loving the essence of the Gayatri Mantra is seen by many to be one, if not the most powerful ways to attain God.

Om (Aum): ”The Beginning and the End – Alfa and Omega” Revelations – Chapter 22 vs:13
The Bible (John 1:1) says: “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” Modern Vedic philosophers have interpreted this teaching of the Bible, and equated Om with God. Om is the most important of all mantras. All mantras generally begin and often also end with Om.
Kundalini Yoga and Gayathri Mantra
“Iam the light of the world, who ever follows me will have the light of life..” St John Ch 8 vs:12
The Gayathri Mantra has been revered for thousands of years by both Hindus and Buddhists alike. It is considered a supreme vehicle for enlightenment. It is called “The Mantra of Spiritual Light” because it infuses the Spiritual Light of Creation into all the seven Chakras in ones body…
It heals the body, feeds the Spirit and illumines the Intellect.
“May the Almighty God illuminate our intellect to lead us along the righteous path”.
