About the Gayatri Mantras of the Gods
Following the pattern of the great Gayatri of the Rigveda, each deity has a Gayatri of three parts: we know (vidmahe), we meditate (dheemahi), may He or She inspire us (prachodayat). Several appear in the Mahanarayana Upanishad. Devotees chant the Gayatri of their chosen deity (ishta devata) 11, 21 or 108 times.
