The Gāyatrī Mantra, also known as the Sāvitri Mantra, is a highly revered mantra from the Rig Veda, dedicated to Savitri. Its recitation is traditionally preceded by oṃ and the formula bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ, known as the mahāvyāhṛti, or "great (mystical) utterance." Vishvamitra is said to have created the Gayatri mantra. ॐ भूर् भुवः सुवः । तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं भर्गो॑ देवस्यधीमहि । धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥ oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ suvaḥ tatsaviturvareṇyaṃ bhargo devasyadhīmahi dhiyo yo naḥ prachodayāt
