Namaste,

This isn't clear. Rather our elders say that there are 24 aksharas in the mantra and there are 24,000 shlokas in Valmiki Ramayana. That's a better thing to believe. 

Thanks and regards
Lakshman Raghuram

Hello Rajesh ,
      
        Its not true ..

         Renowned as a Brahmarishi, Vishvamitra holds the revered position of being the seer (Dhrasta) for the Gayatri mantra. His pivotal role in the Ramayana, where he bestows the Astra Shastra upon Lord Rama, further underscores his significance. It's noteworthy that Vishvamitra initially encounters Rama as a Brahmarishi. In the spiritual realm, mantras, especially profound ones like the Gayatri, are not mere compositions of verses; rather, they emerge from the sublime depths of meditation. As Maharishis attain heightened states of consciousness, they become attuned to the celestial frequencies emanating from the divine. Mantras often find their genesis in these transcendent moments, where the vibrations of the cosmic sound waves connect with the spiritual seeker.  The Gayatri mantra's origin reflects the deep communion between the enlightened sage(vishvamitra) and the cosmic resonance during profound meditative states.

Thank you...

Madhu

Gayatri mantra has 24 aksharas. Valmiki’s Ramayana has 24,000 slokas. One akshara of the Gayatri occurs at the beginning of each set of 1,000 verses in the Ramayana. The God who is praised in Gayatri mantra and in the Ramayana, is the One praised in Srimad Bhagavatam.
