The Gayatri Mantra is the key to opening the door of Cosmic Consciousness. The best times for meditation are in the morning, just before sunrise and in the evening, just before sunset.
Sit facing East or North in Padmasana or Siddhasana (or Vajrasana), or in any other easy, comfortable posture. Sit on a mat covered with a woollen blanket and cotton cloth (to insulate your body from the ground). Once you sit in a posture, avoid unnecessary movement of the body.
Keep the trunk, head and neck erect.
Be fearless.
Sit with a firm determination to realise the Truth.
The Gayatri Mantra is a cosmic rhythm consisting of 24 syllables, arranged as a triplet of 8 syllables each.
When you repeat the Mantra, meditate on the meaning of the Mantra and pray for the vision of Mother Gayatri Devi. This Mantra is dedicated to God as Light and the Sun is the symbol of that light.
This Mantra has universality, because it is meditation on Light through the Sun, which is the same to the whole of humanity. This Mantra confers wisdom, prosperity, purity and liberation.
One who repeats the Mantra 108 times in each sitting will attain radiance soon.
One who repeats the Mantra 1008 times with sincerity and devotion in each sitting will attain illumination in 40 days.
Gayatri Mantra has 24 syllables.
To repeat the Gayatri Mantra 24,000 times is therefore very auspicious.
