The Gayatri Mantra is said to be the oldest and most powerful of mantras, being thousands of years old. It purifies the person chanting it as well as the listener as it creates a tangible sense of well being in whoever comes across it. Translated, it means "May all beings on earth reach enlightenment," but as with all mantras, the meaning of the Sanskrit words isn't as important as the effect the vibrations of the words have on the body and energy centers.

Yesterday I went to my mantra group after missing it twice because of work.
We sang this mantra in 4 different versions.
Have a nice weekend

ReplyDeleteI kept it open in another window too. This is just beautiful! I imagine you must feel so centered after a session of chanting.
