Goddess Gayatri and History of Gayatri Mantra
Gayatri Devi is an incarnation of Saraswati Devi, consort of Lord Brahma, symbolising the “shakti” (strength) and “dev” (quality) of Knowledge, Purity and Virtue. Saraswati Devi is held to be the patronness of the Arts, being a poet and musician, as well as skillful composer. In the form of Gayatri Devi, with the blessings of Lord Brahma, she is believed to have given the four Vedas to mankind.
Goddess Gayatri
Gayatri is depicted seated on a lotus. She is depicted with five faces representing the pancha pranas /pancha vayus(five lives/winds): prana, apana,vyana, udana, samana, of the five principles/ elements (pancha tatwas) earth, water, air, fire, sky (prithvi, jala, vayu, teja, aakasha). She has 10 hands carrying the five ayudhas: shankha; chakra, kamala, varada, abhaya, kasha, ankusha, ujjwala utensil, rudrakshi mala.
Gayatri, Savitri and Saraswati are three goddesses representing the presiding deities of the famous Gayatri mantra chanted thrice a day. Gayatri is the presiding deity of the morning prayer and rules over the Rigveda and the garhapatya fire. Every grihasta (householder) was expected to keep 5 or 3 sacred fires ( Five fires: ahavaneeya, dakshagni, garhapatya, sawta, aavasadha.) in his house to perform Vedic rituals.
In Sanskrit, there are definite rules that regulate poetry: rhyme and meter are not written whimsically. The Gayatri Mantra has a Vedic metre of 24 syllables. Amongst the regulated poetry, the Gayatri mantra, chanted by properly qualified persons, is the most prominent. The Gayatri mantra is mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavatam. Great sins are said to be expiated by a pious recitation of this Gayatri verse which reads as follows:
Om bhoor bhuvassuvaha,
Tatsa Vitur varenyam,
Bhargo devasya dheemahi,
Dheeyo yonah prachodayat
Gayatri mantra is meant for realization of God and is regarded as representing the Supreme Lord. It is meant for spiritually advanced people. Success in chanting it enables one to enter the transcendental position of the Lord. But, in order to chant the Gayatri mantra, it is necessary for one to first acquire the qualities of the perfectly balanced person in terms of the qualities of goodness according to the laws of material nature. The Gayatri mantra is considered to be the sonic incarnation of Brahman and is regarded as very important in Vedic civilization. In Bhagavadgita (Ch. 10. 35), Lord Krishna states:
Brihat saama latha saamnaam
Gayatri chandasaam aham
Maasaanam maarga sirshoham
Ritunaam kusumaakaraha
Among the hymns, I am the Brihat saama sung to Lord Indra,
Of the poetry, I am the Gayatri verse sung daily by the initiated,
Of all the nuwsas (months), I am the margasira (November- December)
Among all the ritus (seasons), I am the flower bearing – spring.
Hindu Temples across the world perform Gayatri havan (homam) periodically to propitiate the Lord. Ghee (rectified butter) is applied during the homa by all the participants seated around the homa-kunda.

Formation of Goddess Gayatri
According to Hindu belief, Goddess Gayatri Devi was incarnated in the absence of Goddess Saraswati. Once Lord Brahma was decided to conduct a ritual. The presence of his wife was significant in that ritual. But Goddess was not able to attend the ritual on time. Lord Brahma was infuriated at the action of Saraswati Devi. Therefore, he asked the priests to search for a woman to participate in the ritual as his wife. Priests searched for the woman as per the advice of Lord Brahma. Eventually, they found a shepherdess Gayatri Devi. As per the belief, shepherdess Gayatri Devi was a form of Goddess Saraswati. Lord Brahma married Gayatri Devi to finish the ritual. Four sacred Vedas were dispensed to Lord Brahma by Goddess Gayatri Devi. Therefore, she called by the name ‘Mother Of Vedas.’

Brahma requested the priest to get him a girl immediately, so that he can marry her there itself and proceed with the ritual as planned. There was a beautiful maiden, whose abode used to be the Himalayan regions of Mount Kailash and lake Manasarovar. Incidentally she was found to be at that place then. Brahma was pleased, married her and made her his consort, and went ahead with the sacrifice. This remarkable young woman was none other than the divine manifestation of the sacred vedic hymn, Gayatri Mantra, and hence she became, Gayatri Devi.
