Yogi’s all across the world tend to preach with the utilisation of mantras and chants. It is important to note that each mantra however, serves a certain purpose and the distinction of these mantras should not be overlooked.
Gayatri Mantra is composed of twenty-four sound-syllables. Each sound-syllable is the energy of any one of the twenty four gods, and Gayatri is a combination of the energy of them all.
Each energy is of a different nature and serves a different purpose. Doing japa of the desired mantra daily can help in obtaining the desired energy. One mala each day in the early mornings hours is sufficient.
