When we talk about Gayatri we are talking about life principle. The best physical expression, the most beautiful and grand expression of life is the human body. We can evolve in a very fast way and reach the highest peaks of consciousness within a few years through yoga. Yoga is a technique by which you lead a highly compressed life, a very fast life that is in accordance to the laws of evolution. The entire cosmos is in a process of evolution. The mineral is evolving into a plant life. The plant is evolving into an animal life. And the animal life is evolving into a human life. The human life is evolving into a divine life. And after that the evolution continues. The process of living, the process of evolution is what is explained in Gayatri. We are a part of the evolution. Planet Earth is a part of evolution. The solar system is a part of evolution. For this human body, solar system is the highest goal of evolution.

Gayatri is the life principle because of which not only us but also the entire cosmos exists. That life principle in us exists as the process of breathing. This breath pervades in us from birth to death. So from life to death, the only thing about which we are sure is that we are breathing. This awareness of breathing is the first step to understanding Gayatri. Your breath or your svasa has split into five. That is your pancha prana. Your breathing controls the five plexes or five centres what the yogis say as Muladhara, Svadhistana, Manipuraka, Anahata, and Vishuddhi in your body. So if you know how to breathe and send the inhaled air into the required lobes, you can control the five senses. We have five types of pranas prana, samana, vyana, udana and apana. So the entire magic of Gayatri is to know how to change these five pranas. For this we have a formula in the form of Mantra. Life which can be controlled by the five senses is Gayatri. Gayatri means utilizing the powers of Sun and Water which have been formulated in the form of a mantra. We should understand it as a formula for utilizing Sun and Water. Sun is also known as Fire, Agni. Our body is made up of 75% water. Our planet earth is also made up of 75% water. The ratio between land and water for the planet Earth is the same as the ratio of land and water in us.

In modern terminology Gayatri is called the art of living. Let us try to utilize the knowledge of Gayatri which can transform us not only into divine human but also this earth into heaven.
