In this discourse, Om Swami answers questions related to Gayatri Mantra Sadana in Toronto.

The first question - What is the Importance of yantra in sadhana? And can one use Sri Yantra for Gayatri Sadhana? Om Swami says one cannot use the Sri Yantra for Gayatri sadhana unless specifically instructed by their Guru. When it comes to the visual aspect of energy, it's an image of some sort. Then there is the Sonic aspect of energy, which is the mantra (sound) itself. Then you have the energy aspect of the energy itself, this is usually the yantra - the energy field. Yantra's can very accurately represent the sound of the mantra.

The second question - Do we need a picture of Goddess Gayatri for Gayatri Sadhana? Om Swami says, if you have never done Gayatri sadhana before, then one can use any image they connect with. If one has done some chanting before, then they can look for an image of Goddess Gayatri and use that image. Just the mantra itself is very powerful and an image is not required.

The third question - If God is one, how does this relate to different deities and different energies? Om Swami says, it ultimately depends on what helps one become more mindful and connect better.

The fourth question - What is more beneficial, a guru mantra, or any other mantra like the Gayatri mantra? Om Swami says the brutal truth is that this depends on who your guru is. If your guru, spent time invoking the mantra, then sooner or later the mantra given by him/her will benefit you. But if your guru did not themselves practice the mantra, but started giving it, then that mantra will not have much benefit. Regardless, if one was to start from scratch and do the Gayatri mantra sadhana on their own, they will not be disappointed.
