Gayatri Mantra

The Gayatri Mantra is the main and most famous of the Rig Veda mantras from India.

It is the great mantra of The Sun, as the divine creator, and chanted every day at sunrise and sunset. The gayatri mantra can be chanted for the goal of harmonizing the influence of The Sun and all the other planets through it.

This power mantra has twenty four syllables within its words.

Oh God, the Protector, the fabric of life, Who is self-existent, free from all pain, and Whose contact frees the soul from all troubles, Who knows and pervades the universe, sustaining everything, the Creator, Energizer, and Illuminator of the whole universe, the Giver of happiness, Who is worthy of acceptance, the most excellent, Who is pure and the purifier of all, let us embrace that very God, so that He may direct our mental awareness in the right direction.
