SrI: Dear " Sudham 18" : The best time to recite Gayathri is during Dawn , Noon and Dusk ( Pratha: , MaadhyAhnika and Saayam Sandhyaa ). It is only for those who have had Upanayana samskAram . 108 or 1008 times recitation is the best . 10 times recitation is adhamam and 28 is madhyamam and 108 or 1008 is Utthamam .You would not only have to recite the Gayathri mantram but also reflect on the deep meanings of this Veda Mantram . The Vedic svaram relating to this Rg Veda mantram has to be maintained . As a part of the 2007 Ahobilavalli e-book series , I will be writing about Gayathri , Saavithri and Sarasvathi from the Vedic perspective . I plan to write about the form of Gayathri ( the significance of the five faces , ten eyes , ten arms , the weapons et al) as well as Gaayathri AshtOttharam and places for perfroming Gayathri Japam and what to sit on during the Japam ) and a lot more .
