About Gayatri

According to Bhagawan Sathya Sai Baba, peace in the world actually starts from the individual. Then how does chanting the Gayatri Mantra help to achieve this goal?

Gayatri is called veda matha. She is present in all four vedas. It is a universal prayer. It is addressed to the sun's energy and it is a vibrant formula with potency. It is the protective shield for all who chant because it contains the spirit and energy of all vedic verses. It is the key to open the door of cosmic consciousness. It confers wisdom, knowledge, prosperity, purity and liberation. Gayatri is a form of eternal truth. It destroys all the sins of the world.
