Meaning of Gayatri Mantra

Rishis selected the words of various Mantras and arranged them so that they not only
Convey meaning but also create specific power through their utterance. Gayatri Mantra
Inspires wisdom. Its meaning is that “May the Almighty God illuminate our intellect to
Lead us along the righteous path”. All the problems of a person are solved if he/she is
Endowed with the gift of righteous wisdom. Once endowed with far sighted wisdom, a
Person is neither entangled in calamity nor does he/she tread the wrong path. A wise
Person finds solution to all outstanding problems. Only those persons who do not think
Correctly find difficulty and take wrong steps due to foolishness. Chanting of Gayatri
Mantra removes the deficiency. The teachings and powers incorporated in the Gayatri
Mantra fulfill this purpose. Righteous wisdom starts emerging soon after Jap(recitation)
Of this Mantra is performed.
