The Gayatri mantra

The Gayatri is one of the most revered verses of the Vedas, from the Rig Veda, addressed to Savitr, the sun as the source of light. It is traditionally chanted at sandhya: at dawn, at noon and at dusk.

How many times

Common counts are 108 (one mala), 27, 11 or 10 at each sandhya. Choose the count above. Each tap is one full repetition.
