vishwamitra is only the drashta of the mantra & not the inventer.Sri Krishnaya Namah! Respected Bhagavathas, I have few clarifications as below, to seek from your goodself:1. What is Gayatri Manthra - is it more to do with the Lord (Surya/Vishnu or whoever we pray) when we do Sandhyavandanam or is it Gayatri - a lady whom Lord Brahma married when Saraswathi was not there while performing aYagna.the famous gayatri is mantra invokes the paramatma vishnu in the centre of the sun.we do say during sandhyavandanam paramatma devata.the doubts are answered below them. 2. What is the significance of this manthra. Why is it accorded so much importance that even Ashtakari manthra has to be chanted only after thismanthra japam.it is the part of sandhyavandanam & hence it is chanted .But ashtakshara mantra japam was later introduced & hence it is chanted later. 3. Is this manthra ageless - i.e., does it got prominence only after sage vishwamithra chanted this or was it prominent over yugas and kalpas.all vedic mantras are ageless.4. While the manthra drasta is sage vishwamitra who is the Lord for this
manthra.5. Why is it enjoined with other manthras like - vishnu gayathri manthraetc., Please enlighten me. Sukumar Sri Krishnaparabrahmane Namah!------------------------ Yahoo!
