Who is Goddess Gayatri?

Gayatri is an aspect of Sarasvati, Lakshmi, and Parvati, all three in one form, a manifestation of Adi Shakti, possessing the rajoguna and hence the source of Brahma's creative power. Without Gayatri, Brahma remains dormant and unable to create the universe.

The sacred texts explicitly declare: "The Gayatri is Brahma, the Gayatri is Vishnu, the Gayatri is Shiva, the Gayatri is the Vedas." She is beyond all sectarian boundaries, worshipping Gayatri is equal to worshipping all five of the great goddesses: Gayatri, Lakshmi, Sarasvati, Durga, and Radha Devi.

ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यम्।
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात्॥

The Gayatri Mantra, the most sacred verse of the Rig Veda, given by sage Vishwamitra
