The Rigvedic Meter: Gayatri Mantra (30 Minutes Uninterrupted)
This 30-minute presentation features the Gayatri Mantra, a paramount Vedic chant rooted in textual fusion. It derives its opening phrase ('Bhur Bhuvaḥ Svaḥ') from the Yajurveda and its primary invocation from the Rigveda (Mandala 3, Hymn 62, Verse 10).
Analysis of the Chandas (Meter): The mantra is defined by the Gayatri Chandas, a classical meter characterized by 24 syllables divided precisely into three padas (feet/lines) of eight syllables each. This structure is central to Vedic literature; Gayatri is one of the seven great Rigvedic meters:
Gayatri
Ushnik
Anushtup
Brihati
Virat
Trishtup
Jagati
This Tripada (three-footed) structure led philosophers to regard the Gayatri as the poetic embodiment (Vak) of the created universe. Worshipping Savitr, the divine source of light, the mantra is a profound statement of cosmic reality.
