The Gayatri mantra is considered the most important and sacred among all mantras in Hindu rituals. The material and spiritual benefits it bestows are immense. It is believed to be one of the oldest mantras, which has also been chronicled in the Rigveda. Its origin is attributed to Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe.

The mantra consists of the prefix "om bhur bhuvah suvah," which appears in the Yajurveda and the verse 3.62.10 of the Rigveda. It is also the name of the goddess who is considered the personification of this mantra. Chanting the Gayatri mantra helps increase spiritual growth and wisdom. Deva Savitur is invoked in this mantra, so it is also called Savitur. Savitur is associated with the sun or Surya dev.
