Origin & Story

Traditional Hindi devotional chalisa · Traditional · Devotional era

The Gayatri Mantra is the most revered verse of the Vedas, addressed to Savitr (the Sun) as the source of all light and wisdom; its Goddess, Maa Gayatri, is honoured as Vedmata, the mother of the Vedas. This Chalisa praises her twenty-four sacred syllables, her form seated on a swan, and her power as Saraswati, Lakshmi and Kali in one, the divine light that awakens the intellect and burns away ignorance.

✦ As told in scripture

It is held that the twenty-four syllables of the Gayatri kindle the light of the intellect and burn away the sins of many births; the sages declare that of all the mantras in the world none equals the Gayatri, and that whoever takes her refuge crosses beyond every calamity.

It is a forty-verse Hindi hymn in praise of Maa Gayatri, the Goddess of the Gayatri Mantra and mother of the Vedas. It glorifies her twenty-four syllables and her power to grant wisdom, and is recited for knowledge, purity and the fulfilment of wishes.

Maa Gayatri is worshipped as Vedmata, the mother of the four Vedas, and as the Goddess embodied in the Gayatri Mantra. Depicted seated on a swan with book, rosary and water-pot, she is revered as the union of Saraswati, Lakshmi and Kali, the very power of divine wisdom.

It is best recited at the three sandhyas (dawn, noon and dusk), and especially at sunrise during Brahma muhurta, facing east. It is often recited daily together with japa of the Gayatri Mantra.

The Gayatri Mantra ('Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah...') is the twenty-four-syllable Vedic verse itself, while the Gayatri Chalisa is a later devotional hymn praising the Goddess of that mantra. Devotees often recite the Chalisa and then perform japa of the Mantra.

They are held to kindle the light of the intellect (dhi), burn away sin and ignorance, and bring peace, health and prosperity. The Chalisa promises that whoever takes refuge in Gayatri crosses beyond every calamity and gains the fruit of the heart's desire.
