We have already established the meaning of the Gayatri Mantra, and understood that the science of the syllable design of the Gayatri Mantra was done in such a way so as to encourage free flow of cosmic energy in our bodily system.
The Gayatri Mantra is the only Mantra which is scientifically proven to open all seven energy chakras in the body , thereby energising us with the prana element and rejuvenating us at three levels; body, mind and spirit. In the following excerpt we proceed to understand the specifics of this rejuvenation process and the specific benefits that accrue to us.

The chanting of this Mantra, helps us develop righteous intellect ,which in turn leads to righteous thoughts and actions. Basically that means, that discriminative thinking leads to wise decision making and conduct. With the benefit of thinking wisely comes , material success, health, wealth, and an ability to deal with stress calmly and rationally.
The above is in brief the reason why the Sadhna of the Gayatri Mantra has transformative benefits on our lives. The below mentioned excerpt from the book" Super Science of Gayatri" explains the benefits of Gayatri Worship in detail:

Gayatri Mantra rejuvenates a person spiritually. As soon as a person starts Gayatri Sadhana he feels a new vibrancy surging within himself. With the increase in the element of righteousness in the person, vices, evil thoughts, evil tendencies, malice, avarice etc. start decreasing and virtues like self-restraint, politeness, sweetness, honesty, truthfulness, generosity, love, contentment, peace, service-mindedness, warmth start increasing day by day. The result is that people are positively impressed by his sweet nature and conduct and entertain feelings of praise, gratefulness, faith and respect for him and gladly extend to him all the help that they can. Besides, these virtues in themselves are so uplifting that a person possessing them always feels self-contentment and perpetual peace.
An extraordinary change takes place in the general attitude of a Gayatri Sadhak. On account of the development of prudence, true knowledge and ritambhara intellect, sufferings due to ignorance get eliminated. Everybody has to face difficult circumstances due to destiny and as an essential outcome of his own deeds. However, while an ignorant person feels suffocating pain and suffering on account of loss, bereavement, disease, violence, opposition, shock etc., a Gayatri Sadhak endowed with spiritual discernment and faith meets these adversities with perfect equanimity. He remains in blissful peace even in adversity.

Besides worldly benefits, a Gayatri Sadhak acquires spiritual gifts. Several persons entangled in great difficulties like disease, weakness, unemployment, family quarrels, litigation, violence, absence of conjugal happiness, instability and weakness of mind, daughter’s marriage, apprehension about the future, fear of not getting success in examinations, bondage to evil habits, etc. have been able to overcome such challenges by Gayatri Sadhana.
At the root of all difficulties lie some attitudinal flaws. With the growth of virtues there is change in one’s food, habits, daily routine, outlook and nature. This change becomes the key for removing such flaws and establishing happiness and peace. Many a times our desires, cravings and passions are such that they are not in keeping with our individual worth and circumstances. With purification of mind a prudent man abandons delusions and stops becoming needlessly unhappy. Ordinary people weep and cry when they face calamity due to unavoidable destiny but a Gayatri Sadhak, on account of his increased spir- itual awareness, faces them calmly.

Gayatri Sadhana is also performed for averting a particular crisis and fulfilling specific needs. The results are often astonishing. It has been observed that where utter darkness, failure, apprehension and fear prevailed, a divine light emerged, hopelessness was transformed into hopefulness and difficult tasks became easy by the grace of Vedmata. Having seen several such instances with my own eyes, it has become my firm belief that Gayatri Sadhana is never in vain.
Gayatri Sadhana is a sure spiritual technique for developing latent spiritual powers. Many people practise wrestling and do physical exercises to win a wrestling match. If per chance a person loses a wrestling match it should not be considered that his efforts have been wasted. Such a practice strengthens his physique and he gets its advantage throughout his life.
Good health, vibrancy, longevity, capacity to do hard work, marital happiness, good progeny, fearlessness from enemies and similar other advantages are in no way inferior to winning a wrestling match. If due to destiny a specific purpose is not fulfilled by Sadhana it is certain that immense advantage has accrued to the Sadhak in terms of his inner soul's growth.
Soul is the repository of countless divine powers (Riddhis-Siddhis). The immortal soul, which is the prince of Omnipotent God-head, possesses all His divine powers. But, just as a piece of lit charcoal covered with ashes becomes dimmed so also, due to internal impurities, the light of the soul becomes dimmed.
By Gayatri Sadhana the dark dense covering of impurities gets removed and the soul of the Sadhak manifests itself with divine powers (Riddhis-Siddhis) and shines brilliantly with Brahmatej. A Gayatri Sadhak attains high goals with little effort, which the Yogis attain with difficult prolonged tapasya.
This effect of Gayatri Sadhana is seen from time to time even in the present day. During the last fifty or hundred years, hundreds of persons have achieved wonderful results by Gayatri Sadhana and have made their lives so elevated, that thousands of people have received inspiration from them. Gayatri Sadhana has the capacity of uplifting the soul to great spiritual heights.
In the ancient times, eminent seers had undergone great penance and performed yog-Sadhana and had achieved Riddhi-Siddhis like anima, mahima etc., the basis of which was Gayatri Sadhana. Ancient scriptures are full of descriptions of miraculous powers which they possessed. Such illumined souls are present even today and they are of the view that there is no other as sure and easy a way of achieving success in yog-marg as Gayatri Sadhana.
All the emperors of Suryavansh and Chandravansh were worshippers of Gayatri. By virtue of this divine power, Brahmans were called Jagat Gurus and Kshatriyas as emperors. This is an eternal truth and is as effective now as it was in the past. No one who takes refuge in Gayatri Mata with devotion is ever disappointed.
