উৎপত্তি ও কাহিনি

Yajurveda / Taittiriya tradition (Sandhyavandana ritual); Gayatri verse from Rigveda 3.62.10 · Sage Vishvamitra (the Gayatri verse); the Vyahritis and Shiras from Vedic ritual · Vedic

The central verse is the celebrated Gayatri Mantra revealed to Rishi Vishvamitra in the Rigveda. For ritual use in the thrice-daily Sandhyavandana, the Vedic tradition frames it with the seven Vyahritis — born, says the Taittiriya Aranyaka, when Prajapati brooded upon the worlds — and crowns it with the Gayatri-Shiras. In this complete form it became the mantra of Pranayama, uniting controlled breath with the meditation on Savitr's light that opens every Brahmin's day.

শাস্ত্রে যেমন বলা হয়েছে

It is traditionally held that Pranayama performed with this mantra burns away the impurities of the breath and senses, just as fire purifies gold; the Manusmriti declares that the sins of the senses are consumed by Pranayama joined to the Vyahritis and the Pranava. Sages say that one who steadies the breath upon the Gayatri sees the inner solar light dawn within the heart.

জপ সংখ্যা3বার
উত্তম সময়At the three Sandhyas — dawn, midday and dusk — and before any meditation or puja

Sit erect facing east (or north). Close the right nostril with the thumb and inhale slowly through the left (Puraka) while mentally reciting the whole mantra once. Hold the breath (Kumbhaka), closing both nostrils, reciting it a second time. Then release through the right nostril (Rechaka), reciting it a third time. This is one round of Pranayama; three rounds are commonly done. Keep the spine straight and the mind fixed on the solar effulgence of Savitr throughout.

এই পাতায় সম্পূর্ণ प्राणायाम मन्त्र বাংলা লিপিতে দেওয়া আছে — সেই একই মূল শ্লোক, অক্ষরে-অক্ষরে লিপ্যন্তরিত, যাতে আপনি স্বচ্ছন্দে পড়তে ও জপ করতে পারেন। যেকোনো পঙ্‌ক্তি (বা ▶ বোতাম) ছুঁয়ে তার পাঠ শুনুন।
হ্যাঁ — শুধু লিপি বদলায়; শব্দ ও তার অর্থ মূলই থাকে। এই পাতার শ্লোকে-শ্লোকে অর্থ, উপকারিতা ও পাঠের নিয়ম একইভাবে প্রযোজ্য।
The ordinary Gayatri is the single verse 'Om Tat Savitur Varenyam…'. For Pranayama and Sandhyavandana it is recited in its expanded form: first the Pranava 'Om', then the seven Vyahritis (Bhuh, Bhuvah, Suvah, Mahah, Janah, Tapah, Satyam), then the Gayatri verse, and finally the Gayatri-Shiras ('Om Apo Jyoti Raso-mritam Brahma Bhur-Bhuvah-Suvar-Om').
The Vyahritis are sacred utterances naming the seven cosmic worlds (lokas): Bhuh (earth), Bhuvah (mid-region), Suvah/Svah (heaven), Mahah, Janah, Tapah and Satyam. The first three are the 'Maha-Vyahritis' and are the most commonly used; all seven appear in the full Pranayama form.
The Shiras ('head' or crown) is the line 'Om Apo Jyoti Raso-mritam Brahma Bhur-Bhuvah-Suvar-Om' appended after the Gayatri. It identifies the divine light with the waters, the essence, the immortal nectar and Brahman, and seals the meditation. It is used specifically in ritual Pranayama.
Traditionally the Gayatri in this ritual form is received through Upanayana/Gayatri initiation and used in Sandhyavandana. Many teachers, however, encourage devotees to use the simple Gayatri verse for breath-awareness and meditation with reverence and a clean, calm seat.
