What is the Gayatri Mantra? Where did it come from? Who made it? Why is the Gayatri Mantra so rad?

Episode 80 is a deep dive into my history and experience with this miraculous prayer. The second half of the talk is the origin story of the Gayatri Mantra - a compelling tale of the sage Vishwamrita and his transformation from a not-so-cool warrior king into a full-blown Brahma Rishi.

This episode is the first I have recorded and filmed at the same time. So pardon if I get a bit distracted at times, this was new to me - looking at my face while talking. Or actually trying not to look at my face while talking.

Also please pardon the interruption about 3/4 of the way through. An Amazon delivery showed up during a particularly gripping part of the story, so I paused the video.

Enough apologies, I hope you enjoy the episode.
