Among all the millions of mantras recorded in archives, the Gayatri Mantra is the essence of all mantras. Although there are many mantras that invoke light, the Gayatri Mantra reigns supreme. Its specific purpose is to enlighten the mind and the intellect, to accumulate the highest spiritual light and to attain enlightenment. The prana becomes energized, the aura becomes brighter, a quiet permeates the mind.
Practiced both by Hindus and Buddhists, the Gayatri Mantra is recognized universally for its spiritual potency. Represented with five heads, Gayatri is shown as Lakshmi (the primordial power of manifestation), Saraswati (the power of knowledge and empowered speech), Durga (the power of protection), Radha (the power of bliss) and Bhu Devi (the power of Earth).
