Bala (young) satsanghees:
The founder of this mahamantra (invocation to the Lord or meaningful prayer
to the Lord) is sage Vishwaamitra Rishi. He was born a king, and after
loosing battles after battles with sage Vasistha by using various arms and
ammunition, he prayed to the Lord for many many years and attained a higher
degree of knowledge with the title "Rajarshi" meaning, even being a king,
he also attained a high level of knowledge of the Lord; but he wanted to
attain the same level as Vasistha, that is to become a "Brahmarshi" "
knowler of Brahma", ie, the one who sees in everybody else the same Lord;
simply put, the one who loves everybody equally and acknowledges that the
Great universal power called by different names is ONE SINGLE ENTITY.
After lot more study, practise, he finally attains that knowledge and is
one among the "Saptharshis" "7 great knowledgeable and realised teachers"
The prayer "Gayatri Mantra" is addressed to the Lord Sooryanarayana, or
"Sun God"; Sun is the everyday visible (exception North/South poles!) power
of that Universal Power/Lord and is the LIFE SUSTAINING POWER FOR ALL,
PLANT, ANIMAL AND HUMAN LIVES.
