There appear to be reservation in the minds of some learned people as to who are and who are not entitled to chant or to repeat the Pranava and the Gayatri Mantra as part of their spiritual Sadhana.
Sathya Sai Baba declares us as follows:
“There are many who argue that the Pranava can be repeated only by a few, and that others not entitled to it. This is wrong. This false conclusion has been arrived at since they do not know the Truth. It springs from a mistaken belief. The Gita does not mention this group or that group. Lord Krishna declares “whoever”(Gita viii –12,13) without any qualifying words limiting it to one class or sex.”
Sai has also declared:
‘The Gayatri Mantra is the elaboration of the Pranava sabda or OM. It (the Gayatri Mantra) is now held so venerable and valuable that initiation into the Adhyatmic life is achieved by its contemplation.”
Quoting the Shukla Yajur Veda (XXVI-2),
Swamy Vivekananda asks: “Can you show any authority from this Veda of ours that everyone has not the right to it? This Veda is our only authority, and everyone has the right to it.”
1.What is the Gayatri Mantra?
The Gayatri Mantra is the Universal Prayer enshrined in the Vedas, the most ancient Scriptures of Man. It is a prayer that can well be spoken with yearning by men and women of all creeds and climes in all centuries. Repetition of this Mantra will develop the intelligence.
2.Recite the Gayatri Mantra.
