Gayatri is pervading everywhere. It consists of three deities – Gayatri, Savitri and Saraswati. Of these, the first one is the master of the senses. The second is the teacher of truth, and the third is the master of speech. Hence, it is the Trinity of the senses, the mind and speech. Gayatri is hailed as Chandasam mata (the Mother of all Vedas). Gayatri has five faces and is the embodiment of all deities – Sarva devata swarupam. Stotra (description of the glory), dhyana (meditation) and prarthana (prayer) are all contained in the Gayatri Mantra. When does a prayer become meaningful? It is only when you stabilise your mind and turn it towards God. The basis for this is to meditate, pray and experience. It is essential to achieve harmony in thought, word and deed. Gayatri is teaching this great lesson. Every small word or phrase in a mantra has immense inner meaning. It cannot be dismissed as superstition. – Divine Discourse, May 06, 1995
