Mata Gayatri is referred to as “Vedmata”. It is from her that the four Vedas (Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharva), Sruti and the scriptures are considered to be originated. According to Hindu religious scriptures, the governing Goddess of Tridev, i.e., Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh also consider Gayatri and hence she is also called “Devamata”.

Goddess Gayatri has a store of knowledge and hence, she is also called “Gyan-Ganga”. Initially, Goddess Gayatri was limited to only deities, but sage Vishwamitra made sure that the glory of Goddess Gayatri reaches people by performing rigorous penance.
