Chaar Ved ki maatu puneeta. Tum Brahmaani Gauri Sita.
Mahaamantra jitne jag maahi. Kou Gayatri sam naahi.
Sumiran kar jo dhyaan lagaave. Ta par kripa maatu barsaave.
Mand buddhi ko buddhi pradaata. Rogi ko aarogya vidhaata.
Daridra ko dhan det turanta. Dukhi ko sukh det ananta.
Tum hi jag ki paalanhaari. Tum hi sab ki rakhvaari.
Sandhya teen samay jo dhyaave. Ta par kripa maatu barsaave.
Tej badhe mukh oj sanvaare. Paap taap sab door sidhaare.
Yagya devta tum jag maahi. Tum bin havan saphal kachu naahi.
Tum bin gyan na kou paave. Tum bin bhav se tar nahi jaave.
Maatu puneet mantra jo jaape. Dukh daaridra sab door so bhaage.
Shraddha bhakti sahit jo dhyaave. Sakal siddhi so jan paave.
Jo yah paath kare Chalisa. Gyan buddhi de maatu jageesa.
Gayatri ki kripa jo paave. So nar bhav saagar tar jaave.
Gayatri maa Chalisa, padhe sune jo koy.
Gyan buddhi tej badhe, mangal mangal hoy.
About the Gayatri Chalisa
The Gayatri Chalisa — the forty-verse hymn to Maa Gayatri, the mother of the Vedas, recited for purity of mind, wisdom and divine light.
A chalisa is a devotional hymn of forty (chalis) verses (chaupais), framed by opening and closing dohas (couplets). The Gayatri Chalisa above is given in both Hindi (Devanagari) and English (Hinglish, Roman script) so you can read it in whichever script you are most comfortable with — switch between the two using the buttons above. It is traditionally recited with devotion, often after a bath and before the deity, especially on the day associated with the deity.
