Does Gayatri Mantra signify uniformity ?
Gayatri mantra symbolises omnipresence of the singular entity – God. Gayatri mantra is an incantation for invocation of the supreme god. Literally if u look at the meaning it will be addressed to Sun of all suns (not the sun of our solar system) – substitute for God (singular supreme being) which brings light to the entire shristri (earth) and universe in toto , may we attain the radiance and lustre of that supreme being through our prayers. So it is addressed to no god in particular. Only in the ancient times Sanskrit was known only to the well educated people (mostly Brahmins). The lower caste which was usually uneducated was not able to grasp the meaning of the words and read them…..I dont think it was restricted to who should utter the mantra when it was coined. But the powers that were present in the ancient times (right from the aryans and controller of vedas) made it practically impossible for the common people to learn and practice it. You ar right in saying that education ha
