Serious practitioners of Bhakti will want this book in their library. This thoroughly researched, logically presented book covers the seven Gayatri mantras chanted by brahmanas in ISKCON: what they are, the effects of chanting them, the meaning of diksha, becoming qualified to chant the mantras, the practice of chanting, the bijas, and more. The pilgrimage toward pure chanting of Gayatri requires inspiration, guidance, understanding, attention, and mercy. Minute details of chanting Gayatri are laid out systematically for each mantra.
Chapter Eight, "The Gayatri Treasury," is a source of meditation and inspiration on Gayatri, but that's not the only place in the book one will find nectarean inspiration for chanting and becoming more serious about the practice of chanting Sri Gayatri.
An interesting resource: there is an appendix with mula mantras for many personalities, and one about various Gayatri mantras. A full index makes this book a great reference.
Hardbound, 340 page, index, 5.75" x 8.5".
