The Gayatri Mantra
-----------------------
The Vedic form of the famous Gayatri mantra is:
tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dhimahi
dhiyo yo nah prachodayat.
The phrase Om Bhoor Bhuvah Svah is generally added to the mantra,when it is recited.
tat savitur varenyam means " that revered God (Solar Principle)" bhargo devasya dhimahi means " destroy the ignorance with divine wisdom"
dhiyo yo nah prachodayat means " lead our intellects (buddhi) and energy in right direction "
Chanting Method

Gayatri should be chanted at medium speed, and each mantra chant should be immediately followed by the next chant, such that a cycle (spiral) of chants is formed and pervades around the chanter.
Precautions
-------------
No precautions as such are necessary , but the following are worth noting.

Precautions
-------------
No precautions as such are necessary , but the following are worth noting.
1. The mind should be positive, and no negative thoughts should be entertained. Because, what ever thoughts we entertain during Gayatri chant, gets multiplied.
2. Specific time and place for regular chant is more helpful in the longer run.

The 24 powers of Gayatri mentioned above awaken certain qualities, and along with this awakening, one starts getting success and prosperity i.e., siddhi. Many feel that these benefits are showered by some Gods or Goddesses. But in reality, the development of the subtle force is done within themselves. If they are able to realize the subtle force working in them, they will realize that such benefits do not accrue of their own accord, and that all of them are the results of the interplay of spiritual forces in them. Gayatri sadhana or upasana is no more a blind faith, but is a scientific process.
