Dhiyo yonah Prachodayat
तीनों लोकों के उस वरण करने योग्य (सूर्य) देवता की शक्तियों का ध्यान करते हैं, वह हमारी बुद्धि को प्रेरित (जाग्रत) करे।

The God (Sun) of the Earth, Atmosphere and Space, who is to be followed, we meditate on his power, (may) He inspire(s) our intellect.
This is the Gayatri Mantra given in Yajur Veda Mantra 22/9,30/2,36/3 Saam Veda Mantra 1462 and Rig Veda 3/62/10 .
The Gayatri Mantra was discovered by Sage Viswamitra. It was the same Sage Viswamitra who initiated Sri Rama into the mysteries of Sun worship,The Gayatri Mantra enabled Sage Viswamitra to use rare weapons which bowed to his will when the Mantra was repeated with faith.
The Gavatri Mantra is addressed to the energy of the Sun,It has immense powers, powers that are truly amazing, for the Sun is its presiding Deity.
The Gayatri Mantra is the reliever of diseases ; wards all miseries off ; fulfills all desires fends off all sins and bad addictions ;increases memory,intelligence ,wit ,power of decision making and ultimately always motivating to right path and action (the veryspirit of the prayer is to God Sun to guide us to Right Action)
There are three ways of Meditation of Gaytri mantra. One should sit on any suitable asan preferably sukhasan. The one should concentrate aagya chakr(Forehead between the eyes). We must not concentrate on any point which is outside of our body then close eyes we must chant the Gaytri mantyra with its full meaning daily. Second method= while sitting on asan one must do pranayaam. When we breath inside then we must stop breathing with close eyes and concentration on aagya chakr. Then we must continue to chant Gaytri manra. When we will be unable to stop breathing then release breathing slowly and slowly and thus stop breathing outside and recite Gaytri mantra.(Try to couple and yoke the two-Breath and Mantra , to be tempered in one . ) And repeat the method again and again that much you can do easily ;slowly increase the time and number .Third is the advance stage when you can do it at any place at any time in any posture and the mantra /words go very abstract that it chants itself the moment you remember it or even think of it.
