Why Om Shanti Chanted Thrice

One witnesses disturbances in the world and in one's Mind body.

Some are due to factors within one's control and some beyond one.

It is the Hindus way of pacifying these my chanting and thereby attempting to appease them.

Gayatri Mantra Incorrect ?

Gayatri Mantra, I was asked earlier, seems to be incorrect, as it contained the 24 letters as it is known to contain.

I have written a detailed article on this and explained how this view is incorrect.

Now based on Sanskrit Grammar, both old and Classical, an article has appeared and has gained wide acceptability.

It states that the Gayatri Mantra, as is being practised to day violates the Chandas or loosely translated as Prosody.

Chandas is a Metre.

Gayatri is more of a Metre than mere mantra text.
