The Gayatri Mantra is traditionally chanted three times or a multiple thereof. It is the main element of the ‘Sandhya Vandanam’, a religious Hindu practice performed at dawn, noon and dusk by male, upper caste Hindus initiated into the ‘sacred thread ceremony’.

Apart from this practice, the Gayatri Mantra can be used in many different ways. It can either be recited only a few times as a short prayer, as a blessing before meals or for mental purification while taking a shower. It can also be used for Mantra Japa and chanted 108 or more times, perhaps with the help of a Japamala.
