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 .
