| "Gayatri" means "joy of singing". The traditional Gayatri metre consists of 24 syllables, arranged in three lines of eight. There are hundreds of Gayatris, all of which follow the form given here. By far the most common Gayatri (beginning Om, Bhur, Bhuvah Svaha) is the 'Savitri Gayatri' which honours the Sun. This particular Gayatri is the Guru Gayatri which honours the Teacher. It is chanted three times. Listen to this chant. |
