Agni Puranam describes the significance of Gayatri Maha Mantra.
Human body is made up of five elements : Fire, Water, Wind, Ether and Earth . Out of several veins there are 10 major veins : Ida, Pingala, Sushumna, Gandhari, Hastijivha, Pritha, Yasha, Alambusha, Huhu and Shankhini. These major veins carry the 'Prana Vayu' (breath for life). Apart from the major veins there are some other sources for 'Prana Vayu ' : Apana, Samana, Udhana, Vyana, Naga, Kurma, Krikara, Devadatta and Danajaya.
Gayatri Mata is worshipped by all the deities including Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. Gayatri Mata exists in each individual's soul in the form of a swan. Gayatri Maha Mantra provides abundance of merits. One who chants Gayatri Maha Mantra a single time gets liberated from his sins. One who chants this Maha Mantra ten times - attains Heaven. One who chants the Maha Mantra twenty times - attains the most desirable world superior than heaven. One who chants the Maha Mantra hundred and Eight times - attains 'Salvation' (No birth again). One who chants the Maha Mantra thousand times - is releived from the severe sins like Brahma Hathya, Killing of Cow etc. The Maha Mantra should always be preceded by Pranava Mantra ' Om'.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
