More about the book
The Gayatri mantra, known as Gayatri or Savitri, is one of the most recited texts in human history and is revered as the "Mother of the Vedas." This book traces the mantra's evolution from around 1000 BCE to 1000 CE, exploring how it transformed from a simple verse into a significant symbol of Brahmanical Hinduism and its deification process. The author conducts a philological-historical analysis of over a hundred texts in Vedic and Sanskrit, while also incorporating religious studies perspectives. This work appeals to scholars and a broader audience interested in South Asian studies and spirituality.
