Fact behind Gayatri Mantra:
Once the Devas, the Shining Ones wanted to learn
the secrets of the Universe. Since learning about the Scientific aspect 'atoms'
etc. did not quite work out, they went to the Lord. The Lord gave them the RIG
VEDA, the YAJUR VEDA and the SAMA VEDA to study. After a
couple of eons of study, the Devas lost their patience and wanted to quit. The
Lord urged them not to give up and decided to teach the essence of the 3 Vedas
in 3 fragments:
Essence of Rig Veda Tat Savitur
Varenyam
Essence of Yajur Veda Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
Essence of Sama Veda Dheeyo Yonah Prachodayaat
Essence of Yajur Veda Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
Essence of Sama Veda Dheeyo Yonah Prachodayaat
The more the Devas practiced and contemplated
upon the Gayatri, the more complexities were revealed to them. So they lost
patience again and went to the Lord to make it simpler still. So the Lord gave
them the essence of the 3 segments, in the 3 words:
Bhur, Bhuvaha, Svaha
The Devas spent a few cycles of Creation,
probably a quadrillion human years pondering upon the 'maha vyahritis' ie
'Utterances of the Lord' but became impatient again and urged the Lord to make
it simpler yet. So He Said "All right I'll make it simpler"
And He taught them AUM
And He taught them AUM
