Gayatri Mantra For Vinayagar
Auriville Cha
You are definitely right. All can chant Gayathri Mantra irrespective of gender or creed. But to notice is we should have a clean body and mind before reciting these mantras,and there are certain times as well for reciting these mantras.And I believe you dont take non veg food, which should be strictly avoided by any one who recites these powerful mantras daily.
you are correct and it should be noted that ancient brahmanas only allowed to chant this mantra with whole heated and purified thoughts but now it has been playing in calling bells, mobile ringtones where some people scares others in bad words this prayer also playing, definitely this would led the world to destruction i am so sorry if i hurt anybody, but it should be noted that it is a secret mantra , the mantras had been stolen by other and they create wonders owners of all of them still saying dis beliefs and feels for the stupid loss of welfare(gold and arnaments) of our nation
aare sabhi ko pur hak hai mantra ucharan ka,ab jara thandi ho jayiye aur palash par pyar bhari kavita likhiye,bahut dino se milwaya nahi aapne palash se,ishq ke mausam mein ye jhagdewali post naaaaaahiiiiiiii:(,
hey nidhi
you have totally got wrong on this.
Dont think i am advising you but its true that you should avoid non veg food totally if you chant mantras daily.Mantras makes certain vibrations in our body and generates power in our body.But if v dont live the right way ,surely the opposite will happen.There are people who have gone mad by not living the right way while chanting mantras.
This story tells us how we follow ways of doing things from our parents without even examining the logic behind them. Some archic ways of doing things continue sine die just because we do not care to examine their relevance today.
I do agree with you. If you ask me I will not ask for sacrifice of any animals for my wellbeing or for the wellbeing of anybody else. And I hope gods have much more virtues and qualities than me. If it is not acceptable to me, how can gods and goddess accept such things?
In the early vedic age however, women did not have the right to study the Vedas. I suppose the men did not want women to chant or even hear the gayatri Mantra. Now this mantra can be chanted by men and women of all castes and creeds.
Gayatri-Upasana can be performed mentally at any time in any circumstance. It is doubtlessly beneficial in every condition. Nevertheless, performing it regularly and religiously has greater significance and spiritual impact. Any experiment or task if conducted systematically with due concentration and punctuality assures completion and comprehensive output. The same is true of devotional practices. The rituals associated with the daily upasana of Gayatri are devised to help desired mental and emotional conditioning of the sadhaka. These are simple and could be practised by every one. It should be noted that these are not mere customs or mechanical acts. Rather, these are derived from in-depth understanding of the spiritual nature of human self. For adept performance of daily upasana it is important to note the implications and sentiments associated with them as highlighted below.
God does not discriminate between a son and a daughter. Only persons of crude mentality do so. Women should refuse to listen to the biased views of any person who says that women have no right to do Gayatri Sadhana. They can worship it and also perform Yagya.
Regular Jap should be suspended during the period of menses. Mental Jap can, however, be performed in all circumstances. Women who put on Yagyopaveet should replace it by a new one after the period of menstruation.
Women have the same right as men in respect of worship of Vedmata Gayatri. To convert inertia into momentum two objects of opposite qualities which attract each other are required. Electricity is generated by attraction and repulsion of negative and positive currents. Electrons and protons of an atom get activated on account of their mutual give and take. This conscious creation has been divided into male and female forms to make the eternal animate creation alive, otherwise this universe would have remained enveloped in inconscience. Union of rayi and Pran energies results in chaitanya. If there is no union of male and female elements, consciousness, pleasure, pulsation, speed, activity, growth etc. will all disappear and inconscience will reign supreme in the Universe.
The effect of this influx of righteousness (satogun) in the body and mind is amazing. This is not visible to the naked eye nor can it be understood from purely physical point of view. But those who are endowed with the occult knowledge of the working of the inner being know it well that decrease in the elements of tam and raj and increase in sat.
I agree fully with Rishibala as Maa Gayatri is herself a woman and then how she can let other women be deprived of the Gayatri Mantra. Its as simple as that. There is no discrimination at all for chanting the all powerful Gayatri Mantra and girls can recite it without any issues.
@ Muthiah- There is no compulsion of being a vegetarian to recite the Mantra. You can chant it absolutely without any problem.
The only thing is that the Mantra is more effective in case of a vegatarian. But nonetheless you will see the results of chanting the mantra, your life will be better than it is now.
@ Neri- Offcourse the Mantra can heal relationships and in no way your devotion to God will decrease. Moreover your devotion to God will increase as you are trying to mend a relationship which is like doing a service to God of spreading love and happiness in each others lives. Good going Neri, just recite the Mantra with full faith and belief and you will see the results for yourself.
I hope that this clarification stands valid even in this scientifically developed age. Every ritual and practice of this Great Hindu religion has a valuable hidden meaning. Unfortunately these were not carried on to the next generation that caused some imbalances in the society. Had it been given in full meaning, we very well could have avoided fanatics & half learnt scholars who now dictate and discriminate women on so many counts
Please chant the mantra. But ask yourself some questions of the following genre:
1.Do I know what the Vedas are and their significance?
2.Am I honest, merciful and feel unity with the world?
3.Is it that I want to chant it out of rebellion spirit?
4.Have I read basic books of Indian philosophy?
Do all priests know the vedas by heart? Most people do not know what hinduism is. Is all Indian philosophy analytic? Everything depends on MEN and their willingness to do their part and it fails only because men are not willing to do their part.
@Vijay Shastri,
Your contention that, since it is a prayer seeking stimulation of mental powers, it could be chanted by all, is incorrect. That is just a modern half-understood conception. There are ample Puranic mantras with the same meaning, which could be chanted by Ladies.
@Rewa Smriti,
The body is called Sthuula Sharira and the mind, the sookshma Sharira. Essentially the mantra work on both aspects. I will tell you this, if you do regular sadhana of the Gayatri mantra for several hours daily, and be regular in the practice for a few months at least, and simultaneously, to the maximum extent possible, follow the Yama, Niyama rules established by Patanjali Rishis in Yoga Sutras, there would be a great change in your body. It will be shining. It is true and YOU can go ahead and practise what I say, BUT be prepared to live the life of a Sannyasini for the reasons mentioned above.
@Nihar,
The deity of Gayatri mantra is Savita and not a Maa Gayatri. That is a later Tantric interpretation. The source of the Gayatri mantra is the Vedas which also talk extensively about who Savita is.
Hi Folks
The goddess Gāyatrī is considered the veda mata(Female), the mother of all Vedas and also the personification of the all-pervading Parabrahman, the ultimate unchanging reality that lies behind all phenomena. Gayatri Veda Mata is seen by many Hindus to be not just a Goddess, but a portrayal of Brahman himself, in the feminine form. Essentially, the Goddess is seen to combine all the phenomenal attributes of Brahman, including Past, Present and Future as well as the three realms of existence.

It is highly likely that this rule about women not being allowed to chant gayatri mantra was created to preserve male dominance in the brahminical priesthood traditions. Rules such as this were made more to preserve the political and honored status of brahmins in hindu society and have nothing to do with the gayatri mantra. Stop putting all these rules for women.
Think before you eat a piece of meat, that its from an animal that has been struggled, strangulated and horrendously butchered till its death just to become a meal before you. Try to perceive the pain the animal could have experienced, try to understand its mental feelings, its also has father, mother and children.
Mantras are helpful for purification of our mind and body.But we should not just chant mantra, we should go to the next level of understanding ourselves and the cosmic reality.Vedas,mantras,purana etc.can help only for the purification of mind and body,but until the TRUTH is not know material longing will never end and will end up as looser and eventually will die without fulfilling ones desires.Scriptures says that our thoughts at the very moment of death determine the next life.So right thinking and right knowledge from young age is essential to achieve a peaceful mind.
