శ్రీ గాయత్రీ చాలీసా

A chalisa to Gayatri, mother of the Vedas, whose twenty-four syllables are said to hold the scriptures entire. She is seen riding the swan, robed in white, bearing book, flower, kamandalu and rosary; she is named as Saraswati, Lakshmi and Kali at once, and the verses ask of her the burning away of ignorance and the light of knowledge in the heart.
