Btw, I have read so...@Gana: Thanks. Good comments.<br /><br />Btw, I have read somewhere that ladies chanting Gayatri mantra may have problems with their Uterus and hence not recommended. As you rightly pointed out there are thousands of mantras and slokas which are available and why to just harp on only one mantra.Thinking Heartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881232980990490997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635524965753194156.post-54221882311348396012012-10-28T19:35:21.652+05:302012-10-28T19:35:21.652+05:30@Kaya, Probably a little late in my comment (almos...@Kaya, Probably a little late in my comment (almost a year late I guess, but posting it nevertheless) as far as I know, ladies can chant Gayatri Mantra and perform Pranayama, but the practice of Sandhayavandhana is reserved for men according to Vedas. No one knows why there's such a distinction, it might be due to the prejudices of the past. But there are equally powerful modes of worship which women-folk in our households do which men don't know or don't perform. Almost any women of a traditional house-hold would know how to recite Soundarya Lahiri with its proper intonation and raaga. It is the single most interesting and powerful treatise in the powerful yet not so well known field of mantra worship. Each mantra in Soundarya Lahiri is meant to achieve a particular benefit. And believe me it is powerful. Let's try to understand the treasure trove knowledge that vedic mantras has left us, but try to shard off the cobwebs of prejudice that years of misunderstanding and malafide campaign has left in the midst and get the true glory of our wonderful civilization.Ganapathy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01782326648104101392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635524965753194156.post-38965913668724621602012-10-28T19:33:52.220+05:302012-10-28T19:33:52.220+05:30@Kaya, Probably a little late in my comment (almos...@Kaya, Probably a little late in my comment (almost a year late, but nevertheless) as far as I know, ladies can chant Gayatri Mantra and perform Pranayama, but the practice of Sandhayavandhana is reserved for men according to Vedas.

For the time being let me ask this question which answers your query. "when you want to run a marathon race or a sprint would you do warm up and cool down exercises before and after the race? Other rituals and mantras have deeper meaning and significance and it is a package. <br /><br />I shall make a detailed response, please watch this space...<br /><br />RegardsThinking Heartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881232980990490997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635524965753194156.post-52829553746593581162012-07-24T14:40:06.870+05:302012-07-24T14:40:06.870+05:30Can one do just the pranayama and Gayatri japa?

The very traditional answer they give is Gayatri Mantra offers "Chitta Shuddhi". Chitta is often quoted as the subconscious mind or the discriminatory intelligence or the sum total of all the four antarkaranas.<br /><br />I have read and heard that just one mantra or even one akshara is sufficient to cross the ocean of birth and death provided we can reach the right depths. I request you to approach some one more qualified to answer this.Thinking Heartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881232980990490997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635524965753194156.post-51821692288757374162012-03-15T18:00:07.155+05:302012-03-15T18:00:07.155+05:30Can gayatri mantra clean the sanskaras and imbedde...Can gayatri mantra clean the sanskaras and imbedded beliefs in the subtlest body/ karan sharir/ unconscious mind?<br /><br />what should one do to purify the mind from the deepest of negative samskaras whose root is actually the karmik seed which has become latent in this lifetime and haunting the present?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635524965753194156.post-74418276733341593372012-02-14T16:32:39.746+05:302012-02-14T16:32:39.746+05:30NiceNiceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052711639220145417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635524965753194156.post-8533468002854850452011-11-23T09:51:17.941+05:302011-11-23T09:51:17.941+05:30This is really a wonderful one.To my knowledge lad...This is really a wonderful one.To my knowledge ladies can practice PRANAYAMAM and chant Gayathri mantra.Sandhyavandanam is not for ladies.

@Ka...Thanks to the "Anonymous" comments. <br />@Kaya: Thanks. To my knowledge this ritual isn't for ladies. May be just like when a man earns for his salary he does it for the family too, so same way this is a man's karma on behalf his & his family's well being.
