What is Sri Aurobindo Gayatri? How and when to chant. Any rules and regulations? ☀️🪷🧘👁️

Sri Aurobindo’s Gayatri is the mantra given by Sri Aurobindo to invoke the Sun, a symbol of the Supermind. Gayatri is the metre or rhythm of the Mantra while the Deity is the Divine in His aspect of Truth-Light. The mantra is an invocation to the Light and Power of the Supreme to illumine and transform us.

ॐ तत् सवितुर् वरं ऱुपं ज्योति परस्य धीमहि ।

यन्नः सत्येन दीपयेत् ॥

Om Tat Savitur Varam Rupam Jyoti Parasya Dhimahi

Yannah Satyena Dipayet.

“Let us meditate on the most auspicious form of Savitri (the Sun-god), on the Light of the Supreme, which shall illumine us with the Truth”.One can do it anytime though the mantra aligns with the morning rising sun. 
There are no rules or regulations but it is best if the heart gets engaged in the mantra. It should be an act of love and not a mechanical ritual being done to take some advantages. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I was reading the ‘Bhawani Mandir’ under Vandemataram, where Sri Aurobindo said, “We will therefore build a temple to the white Bhawani, the mother of strength…” and said that the mandir would be built away from the modern cities, etc. Did he mean to build the physical mandir? And if so, was it built? Or is it more in the subtle space over India? Please could you shed some light? 🛕🗺️😊🙏🏻🌸

Here is what Sri Aurobindo himself said (in third person) when asked about the idea of Bhawani Mandir. …
