GM As a Powerful Aid to Austerities

Gayatri mantra chant, mentally, pondering over it's meaning, can reconcile one with the absence or loss of material things. Hence purposeful chant of the holy Gayatri mantra is a powerful aid to austerities, including Yama, Niyama etc. It is no wonder that traditionally Brahmins were able to live on Uncha-vritti and yet steadfastly upheld the path of Dharma, for thousands of years. Whenever one is upset over lack or scarcity of something, one is well advised to resort to the holy Gayatri mantra to use it as an opportunity for austerity.
