Description

Gayatri is a profound prayer. It is an authentic prayer that elevates, exhilarates, and enlightens. According to Hindu scriptures, prayer in its real sense is not just the chanting of a few verses. It is a comprehensive exercise that involves jnana (knowledge), dhyana (meditation), and anubhava (experience). Gayatri Mahamantra is a true prayer that not only reaches out but also reaches in.

Gayatri is chanted as a Mahamantra, worshipped as the Mother Goddess, and expressed as a Meter. It is not a prayer for worldly and material benefits. Gayatri is a prayer for the highest enlightenment. It is a prayer that leads to a sublime experience, a prayer that opens up our mind and vision, body and intellect to a world beyond worldly attachments. It is a prayer that leads to the Ultimate Truth and Supreme Bliss that every enlightened human being seeks.

Gayatri, like the Vedas, is meant for the entire mankind, irrespective of gender, caste, creed, religion, or nationality. It is a profound prayer that can touch and transform every human being.

This book is a good read for everyone who believes in the efficacy of prayer and meditation. It is also a good read for everyone who wishes to gain an insight into the breadth and depth of ancient Indian wisdom - the Sanathana Dharma. This informative book is meant for every generation, both young and old.
