Gayatri Mantras

Mother of all Mantras, The Gayatri.

Lord Ganesh

We also have the Sakam Gayatri,.

While the regular Gayatri is meant for Self realization as the primary goal, our Rishis were aware, that though the regular Gayatri Mantra shall deliver

other benefits as a side spin-off, ordinary Mortals require specific desires to be fulfilled and they need a special Mantra for a specific desire in Mind.

These Gaytris are to be addressed to 24 Deities.

These Gayatris also contain the twenty-four Aksharas when intoned correctly as in regular Gayatri.

The term "Sanatan Dharma" was mentioned and explained in depth in Vedic literature (Rig Veda) (4-138) and was used during the Hindu revivalism movement in order to avoid having to use the term "Hindu" which is of non-native (Persian) origin. The phrase " Dharma Sanātana" occurs both in the Manusmrti (4-138)[12] and in the Bhagavata Purana,[13][14] in context with "cosmic order".Hinduism, also known as Sanatana Dharma, is the religious tradition indigenous to the Indian subcontinent with about 950 million followers worldwide, making it the third largest religious system in the world. Hinduism differs from most religions in that there is no particular theological belief or set of doctrines that unites all its adherents. The goal of the Hindu path is moksha (literally, 'release'), understood to be liberation from samsara (repeated cycle of birth and death), and this is achieved by piercing the veil of maya (illusion). Some widespread Hindu philosophical concepts and practices are karma (cycle of cause and effect),Dharma (righteousness or obligation), reincarnation and yoga. There is no one book that is considered sacred by all Hindus, but the Vedas, Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita are revered by most Hindus.
