.......Gayatri Devi the Goddess is considered the veda mata, Essentially, the Goddess is seen to combine all the phenomenal attributes of Brahman. Goddess Gayatri is also worshipped as the Hindu Trimurti. Some also consider her to be the mother of all Gods and the culmination of Lakshmi, Parvati and Sarasvati.......
.....The Gayatri mantra is one of the oldest and most powerful of Sanskrit mantras. It is believed that by chanting the Gayatri mantra and firmly establishing it in the mind, if you carry on your life and do the work that is ordained for you, your life will be full of happiness.
.....Gayatri is typically portrayed as seated on a red lotus, signifying wealth. She appears in either of these forms:
.....1. Having five heads with the ten eyes looking in the eight directions plus the earth and sky, and ten arms holding all the weapons of Vishnu, symbolizing all her reincarnations.
.....2. Accompanied by a white swan, holding a book to portray knowledge in one hand and a cure in the other, as the goddess of Education......



.....The word "Gayatri" itself explains the reason for the existence of this mantra. It has its origin in the Sanskrit phrase Gayantam Triyate iti, and refers to that mantra which rescues the chanter from all adverse situations that may lead to mortality...........

Maruts or Marutas in Rig Veda

Maruts or Marutas in Rig Veda are the Gods associated with wind and storm in Rig Veda. They accompany Indra, the king of Devas. In Puranas, Maurts are the sons of Sage Kashyapa and Diti.

In Vedas, Maruts are said to be 7, 27, 29 or 180 in number. They along with Indra wreak havoc on Earth by throwing thunderbolts, churning up huge storms and creating earthquakes. They were propitiated for a peaceful life on Earth. Thus Maruts personify natural calamities that caused trouble to human beings on earth.

In Puranas also Marutas are associated with Indra. Sage Kashyapa had two wives Aditi and Diti. Pleased with Aditi, Sage Kashypa blessed her with a son – Indra. Now Diti grew jealous of Aditi and demanded an equally radiant son from Sage Kashyapa.

Sage Kashyapa promised her a son equal to Indra. As Diti advanced in her pregnancy, she became more beautiful and radiant. Aditi grew jealous. She thought that her son Indra will be relegated by the son of Diti.

So she asked Indra to do something to protect his authority. Indra cleverly won the trust of Diti by serving her. Once while Diti was sleeping, Indra cut her womb into 49 pieces. The child got out of the womb as 49 marutas. They got the name Maruta as Indra asked them not to cry while he cut the womb. Ma Ruda – Don’t Cry.

Thus Maruts are brothers of Indra.

Diti who lost her son, cursed Indra to lose his kingdom. Aditi was cursed to be born on earth and grieve over children. Thus Aditi was born as Devaki and had to see her children being killed by Kamsa
