Gayatri Sadhana can be used as an unfailing discipline by widows for exercising self-restraint, controlling sensuousness and for promoting righteousness and wisdom. Feeling of mental peace, steadiness, wisdom and self-restraint start growing from the very day, this Sadhana is started. Mind is brought under control and wayward thoughts are reigned in and silenced by righteousness. Desires, tastes, actions, sentiments, become pure, pious and righteous (Satoguni). Interest develops in self-realization, devout austerity, penance and love of God. Slowly and steadily the Sadhika is transformed into a Sadhwiapasvani, Brahmabadini. She sees divinity in the form of Gayatri and attains deep inner peace in comparison to which the life of a mere house-wife appears to her to be purposeless.
Before sitting in Sadhana, women should take bath in the early morning by warm or cool water according to season. Water which is very hot or very cold is harmful for women. A pot of water should be kept close by Rosary or mala of Tulsi and Kushasan are best suited. Gayatri should be meditated upon in the form of a middle-aged lady with a smiling face, wearing white clothes sitting on a bull, having four hands containing mala, kamandal, book and lotus flower. This meditation is extremely useful for controlling mind and developing righteousness. Mind should be applied repeatedly on this meditation. In Jap there should be some sound from the throat, lips should be so moved that even a person sitting close by is not able to hear what is being uttered. Jap can be performed both in the morning as well as in the evening. More Jap can also be performed according to convenience. It is all the more beneficial if life of devout austerity and penance could be lived.
