Gayatri Mantra.

'Gayatri Mantra', the ultimate Vedic prayer to awaken the intellectual powers of a person, first found its reference in the 'Vedas' believed to be the storehouse of all Divine Knowledge and the most ancient scriptures known to mankind. The universal prayer is addressed to the Sun God, addressed as 'Savitha' as the Life-Giver on Earth. Goddess Gayatri or Annapurna is believed to be the Mother-God that animates all Life. Considered to be the essence of the Vedas, Gayatri Mantra fosters and hones the knowledge-yielding faculty of a person. The four 'Mahavakyas' or ultimate sentences of Gayatri Mantra, is a sacred mantra that demonstrates the unity that underlies multiplicity and manifoldness in creation.

    The essence of the Mantra can be stated as follows - 'Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life, Remover of pain and sorrow, The Bestower of happiness, Oh! Creator of the Universe, May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light, May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction.'

    The individual words and characters of the Mantra have a meaning of their own than can be defined as follows:

Om: The primeval sound that represents Brahma,
Bhur: The physical world that embodies the vital spiritual energy or 'Pran',
Bhuvah: The mental world and destroyer of all sufferings,
Swaha: The celestial and spiritual world that embodies happiness,
Tat: That or God, referring to transcendental Paramatma (Ultimate Spirit),
Savithur: The Bright Sun or the Creator and Preserver of World,
Varenyam: Best or most adorable,
Bhargo: Destroyer of all sins,
Devasya: Divine Deity or Supreme Lord,
Dheemahi: We meditate upon and take in,
Dhiyo: The Intellect,
Yo: The Light,
Nah: Our,
Prachodayath: Inspire or Enlighten.
Meaning:
We meditate on the glory of the Creator;
Who has created the Universe;
Who is worthy of Worship;
Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light;
Who is the remover of all Sin and Ignorance;
May He enlighten our Intellect.

Thus, we can say that Gayatri Mantra basically consists of three parts:
1. Praise,
2. Meditation, and
3. Prayer.



While chanting the mantra, we first praise the God or the Divine Power, meditate upon it in all reverence and then finally pray or make an appeal to the God awaken and strengthen the intellectual powers of a person. The Mantra is said to be the embodiment of all deities and is certainly not associated with any particular religion or sect, time, place or person. While Om, Bhuh, Bhuvah, Swaha, Thath, Savithur, Varenyam, Bhargo and Devasya are said to be its nine colors or praise of the Divine, Dheemahi is related to meditation and Dhiyo, Yo, Nah and Prachodayaath are said to be the parts of the prayer aspects of the mantra.

Raghavendra Swamy Sloka

"Pujyaya Raghavendraya Sathya Dharma Rathaya Cha
Bhajatam Kalpavrikshaya Namatam Kamadhenave."

Meaning: 

I worship the esteemed Raghavendra who is the protector of Sathya and Dharma.
I salute the esteemed Raghavendra who is like a Kalpavriksha (Wish Fulfilling Tree)
I bow to Sree Raghavendra who is also like our Kamadhenu (Wish Fulfilling Cow).

Kalpavriksha is a divine tree, which is there to fulfill all our wishes. Kamadhenu, similarly is a wish fulfilling cow. It is also sometimes referred to as mother of all cows.



   Sri Raghavendra fulfills the desires of all the devotees who sincerely pray to him. He has no bias towards any caste, color or creed. Exactly like the Kalpavriksha and Kanadhenu. A cow doesn't ask who the milk is for? Everyone from a child to a 100 year old consumes milk. The cow just gives milk without even asking if the milk is going to be consumed by whom. The same way Sri Raghavendra Swamigal fulfills the wishes of his devotees.

How to Chant:


Anyone irrespective of their religion, caste, color when pray sincerely will have their wishes fulfilled. We have seen this from the several miracles performed. That's the reason 
Sri Raghavendra Swamigal is referred to as Kalpavriksha and Kamadhenu.

So, lets all sincerely pray several times a day this two lines for good health, lots of devotion and peace in the entire world.
