Shri Gayatri Stotram

Shri Gayatri Stotram is a sacred Vedic hymn dedicated to Goddess Gayatri, the divine personification of the Gayatri Mantra (Om Bhūr Bhuvaḥ Svaḥ Tat-Savitur-Vareṇyaṃ Bhargo Devasya Dhīmahi Dhiyo Yo Naḥ Pracodayāt) and the revered Mother of the four Vedas (Veda-Mata).

In Sanatana Dharma, Goddess Gayatri represents the triple cosmic solar energies: Gayatri in the morning (Brahma-Svaroopini), Savitri at noon (Vishnu-Svaroopini), and Saraswati in the evening (Shiva-Svaroopini).
