Sir, I have been practicing Gayatri Sadhana🙏 for many years. From my understanding, the Goddess Gayatri is a unified form of Saraswati (Hrim), Lakshmi (Shrim), and Kali or Durga (Klim).

For most of us moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth-death) is the ultimate goal. Isn’t this an escapist and pessimistic approach? In my view this is not true. Instead of Moksha, we should seek peace, power, prosperity and happiness/bhoga in this world itself. This world must have been made for this, otherwise these things would not have existed and whenever we fell short in our efforts to attain them, God helps us at our call through his different forms.
