"The Gayatri has three parts: l) Praise 2) Meditation and 3) Prayer. First, the divine is praised, then it is meditated upon in reverence and lastly, an appeal is made to the divine to dispel the darkness of ignorance and to awaken and strengthen the intellect. Dhimahi is related to the meditative aspect. Dhiyo yanah prachodayat relates to the aspect of prayer. Chanting the Gayatri Mantra purifies the mind and confers devotion, detachment and wisdom."
