It is a compounded set of words pregnant with enormous significance. It emanates from the inner power of man. Filled with such power, the mantra, when it is pronounced properly, brings out the divine power in man. The vibrations produced by the utterance of the mantra, uniting with the cosmic n\u0101da (primal sound) in the universe, become one with the Universal Consciousness. It is these cosmic vibrations, which assumed the form of the Veda (sacred revelations of spiritual knowledge).&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/p><footer><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Sathya Sai Baba<\/a><\/footer><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-heading su-heading-style-default su-heading-align-center\" id=\"\" style=\"font-size:23px;margin-bottom:20px\"><div class=\"su-heading-inner\">Gayatri Chanting Sadhana<\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\" magee-shortcode magee-row row\">\n<div class=\" magee-shortcode magee-column col-md-3\" id=\"\" style=\"text-align:;\">\n<div class=\"magee-shortcode magee-promo-box  promo_box-1pah66 boxed\" id=\"\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-info\">\r\n                                            \n<h4>Who can participate?<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"magee-icon-list  magee-shortcode list-afcqgg\" id=\"\">\n<li class=\"li-poljy7\"> Individual<\/li>\n<li class=\"li-upmysh\"> Family<\/li>\n<li class=\"li-l4k0l1\"> Center<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-action promo-action-zt8tj5\">\r\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"btn-normal btn-lg\"><\/a>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" magee-shortcode magee-column col-md-3\" id=\"\" style=\"text-align:;\">\n<div class=\"magee-shortcode magee-promo-box  promo_box-tbouje boxed\" id=\"\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-info\">\r\n                                            \n<h4>Duration?<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"magee-icon-list  magee-shortcode list-l0wtfw\" id=\"\">\n<li class=\"li-fseq3d\"> As per your Sadhana Offering<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-action promo-action-swctnb\">\r\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"btn-normal btn-lg\"><\/a>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" magee-shortcode magee-column col-md-3\" id=\"\" style=\"text-align:;\">\n<div class=\"magee-shortcode magee-promo-box  promo_box-lyuaza boxed\" id=\"\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-info\">\r\n                                            \n<h4>Suitable for?<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"magee-icon-list  magee-shortcode list-urse0i\" id=\"\">\n<li class=\"li-z7x1nu\"> Adults<\/li>\n<li class=\"li-fwx9nu\"> Young Adults<\/li>\n<li class=\"li-hmftzo\"> SSE Groups 1\/2\/3\/4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-action promo-action-daorsr\">\r\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"btn-normal btn-lg\"><\/a>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" magee-shortcode magee-column col-md-3\" id=\"\" style=\"text-align:;\">\n<div class=\"magee-shortcode magee-promo-box  promo_box-pviwf0 boxed\" id=\"\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-info\">\r\n                                            \n<h4>How long does it take to do?<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"magee-icon-list  magee-shortcode list-1hq06x\" id=\"\">\n<li class=\"li-jymkag\"> 5 &#8211; 7 Minutes maximum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-action promo-action-zhv9dr\">\r\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"btn-normal btn-lg\"><\/a>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" divider magee-divider magee-shortcode divider-do8eaj divider-border\" id=\"\"><div class=\"divider-inner divider-border\"><\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\" magee-shortcode magee-row row\">\n<div class=\" panel-3r01x3 magee-shortcode panel magee-panel\" id=\"\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"panel-heading\">\r\n                                            <h3 class=\"panel-title\">Details<\/h3>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                        <div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n                                            \n<p>The Gayatri is a universal prayer enshrined in the Vedas. It is addressed to the Immanent and Transcendent Divine which has been given the name &#8216;Savita,&#8217; meaning &#8216;that from which all this is born.&#8217; The Gayatri may be considered as having three parts &#8211; (i) Adoration (ii) Meditation (iii) Prayer. First, the Divine is praised, then It is meditated upon in reverence and finally, an appeal is made to the Divine to awaken and strengthen the intellect, the discriminating faculty of man.<\/p>\n<p>The Gayatri is considered as the essence of the Vedas. Veda means knowledge, and this prayer fosters and sharpens the knowledge-yielding faculty. As a matter of fact, the four core-declarations enshrined in the four Vedas are implied in this Gayatri mantra.<\/p>\n<p>Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, vol 13.34: June, 20, 1977<\/p>\n<p>The Gayatri Mantra is a sacred chant that demonstrates the unity that underlies manifoldness in creation. It is through the recognition of this unity that we can understand the multiplicity. Clay is one and the same thing, though pots of different shapes and sizes can be made from it. Gold is one, though gold ornaments can be multifarious. The Atma is one, though the embodied forms in which it resides may be many. Whatever the colour of the cow, the milk is always white.<\/p>\n<p>Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, vol 16.6: March, 17, 1983<\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gayatri Mantra - Sathya Sai Baba (108)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r_0Q8-k13Fg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"plain-container","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"disabled","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"disabled","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"disabled","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1050"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1050"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1050\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1367,"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1050\/revisions\/1367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
