Mumbai: Gayatri Jayanti, celebrated each year during the Jyestha month on the day of Nirjala Ekadashi, marks the divine birth of Goddess Gayatri – revered as the mother of all Vedas. Known as Veda Mata or the Mother of Vedas, Goddess Gayatri embodies wisdom, purity, and divine power. She is believed to be the collective incarnation of Goddess Saraswati, Goddess Lakshmi, and Goddess Parvati, representing knowledge, prosperity, and strength.
This spiritually potent occasion holds immense significance for Hindus, as it is observed with devout rituals, mantra chanting, and worship of the divine feminine energy. Gayatri Jayanti is also considered a day of high cosmic energy, offering rare astrological alignments believed to amplify the blessings received through prayer and meditation.
When is Gayatri Jayanti 2025?
Gayatri Jayanti will be celebrated on Saturday, 7 June 2025, which falls on the Ekadashi tithi of Shukla Paksha in the Jyestha lunar month. The Ekadashi tithi begins at 2:15 AM on 6 June 2025 and ends at 4:47 AM on 7 June 2025. The festival takes place a day after Ganga Dussehra and is deeply linked to Nirjala Ekadashi, also known as the most austere of all Ekadashis.
Auspicious Yogas on Gayatri Jayanti
This year, Gayatri Jayanti coincides with several favourable planetary combinations. Ravi Yoga, along with Vyatipata Yoga and Variyan Yoga, will grace the day—enhancing its spiritual potency and making it an excellent time for mantra chanting, meditation, and puja rituals.
Spiritual Significance and Rituals
On this sacred day, devotees worship Maa Gayatri with heartfelt devotion, offering prayers, flowers, and performing Gayatri mantra japa throughout the day. Reciting the 108 names of Goddess Gayatri is believed to invoke her blessings and divine grace. It is widely believed that Gayatri Jayanti marks the prakatya (divine appearance) of the goddess on Earth.
The festival is also an opportunity for spiritual seekers to meditate on higher consciousness, cultivate inner purity, and align with truth through the power of the Gayatri Mantra.
