1-#Savita is the presiding Deity of the #GayatriMantra,

#Fire (#Agni) is the mouth,

#Vishvamitra is the #Rishi and #Gayatri is the metre.

Gayatri Mantra is recited during the investiture of sacred thread, practice of #Pranayama and #Japa, etc. (1/15)

#संस्कृतिबोध
2-What Gayatri is, the same is #Sandhya, and what Sandhya is, the same is Gayatri.

Sandhya and Gayatri are identical.

He who meditates on Gayatri,

..meditates on Lord #Vishnu, the Supreme Lord of the #Universe. (2/15)

#सनातनशुद्धरूपसेविज्ञान
3-A man can repeat the Gayatri Mantra mentally, in all states, even while lying, sitting, walking, etc.

...three times every day, in the morning, noon and evening.

It is the Gayatri Mantra alone that can be commonly prescribed for all. (4/15)

#मंत्रशक्ति
7-Gayatri is the mother of the Vedas and is the destroyer of sins.

There is nothing more purifying, on the earth as well as in the heaven, than the Gayatri.

The Japa of Gayatri brings the same fruit as the recitation of all the four Vedas together with the Angas. (7/15)
8-This single Mantra repeated three times a day brings great good (#Kalyana or #Moksha).

It is the supreme Mantra of the Vedas.

It destroys all sins. (8/15)

#मंत्रशक्ति

in the wilderness of the miseries of this world (#Samsāra). (12/15)

#MantraSadhana
13-#Buddha famously said, #Life is #Suffering.

Instead, it is one of the first great #Truths of #Buddhism

My own personal attempt towards alleviating suffering in this world is #charity and giving people the best advise I can. (13/15)

#Astrology.
14-To that end, I use #Astrological Consultations – wherein the intent is - to raise money and donate the proceeds to charity.

Join me in this #Yajna.

Those seeking a personal consultation - please send a Direct Message. (14/15)

#AstrolgoicalThread.
15-Money thus generated, shall be given to charity.

Preference will be given to those, with acute issues.

May #Goddess #Saraswati guide this little effort of mine with her own hands.!

Om Tat Sat!

Shubham Bhavatu! (15/15)

1-एक टक देर तक उस सुपुरुष को निहारते रहने के बाद बुजुर्ग भीलनी के मुंह से स्वर/बोल फूटे -

"कहो राम ! सबरी की डीह ढूंढ़ने में अधिक कष्ट तो नहीं हुआ ?"

राम मुस्कुराए :- "यहां तो आना ही था मां, कष्ट का क्या मोल, क्या मूल्य ?"
2-"जानते हो राम !

तुम्हारी प्रतीक्षा तब से कर रही हूँ, जब तुम जन्मे भी नहीं थे|

यह भी नहीं जानती थी, कि तुम कौन हो ?

कैसे दिखते हो ? क्यों आओगे मेरे पास ?

बस इतना ज्ञात था कि कोई पुरुषोत्तम आएगा जो मेरी प्रतीक्षा का अंत करेगा|
3-राम ने कहा :- "तभी तो मेरे जन्म के पूर्व ही तय हो चुका था कि राम को सबरी के आश्रम में जाना है”|

"एक बात बताऊँ प्रभु भक्ति के दो भाव होते हैं, पहला ‘मर्कट भाव’, और दूसरा ‘मार्जार भाव’|
