Gayatri's Vision and Grace The special vow that Yajnavalkya had been observing to earn the Grace of Gayatri was fruitful. Goddess Gayatri appeared before him. Yajnavalkya prayed, "O Mother, kindly grant me the knowledge of Yajurveda to complete my Vedic studies." Goddess Gayatri smiled and said, "My child Yajnavalkya you have to pray to Sun god to get this wish of yours fulfilled. He will teach you Yajurveda." She then blessed him and disappeared. As a result of the grace and blessings of goddess Gayatri, Yajnavalkya's body and mind began to throb with a new vitality. He became aware of the presence of various divine powers immanent in subtle form in different parts of the body. He had yet many great things to do. Yajnavalkya gained a special ecstatic joy and soul force by the divine vision of gods and goddesses. |
