Gayatri Mantra is chanted to
"illuminate/enlighten/ stimulate/inspire/guide/direct our intellect in the right direction"...
The benefits are "clarity of thought" and "clear cut decision making" etc......
Though a lotus flower in spirituality symbolises purity, beauty, fertility and peace, it also symbolises wisdom and knowledge(Gyaan).........hence thought of putting a lotus flower kolam on "Gayatri Japam" day

Shi Maatrey NamahaJai Ambe Maa
I wanna come home to roses
And dirty little notes on Post-its
And when my hair starts turning gray
He'll say I'm like a fine wine, better with age
I guess I learned it from my parents
That true love starts with friendship
A kiss on the forehead, a date night
Fake an apology after a fight
I need a man who's patient and kind
Gets out of the car and holds the door
I wanna slow dance in the living room like
We're eighteen at senior prom and grow
Old with someone who makes me feel young
I need a man who loves mе like
My father loves my mom......
