Pronunciation of the Mantra

Question: How is it possible for illiterate persons and children to do Gayatri Sadhana, for whom the pronunciation of the Mantra is somewhat difficult ?

Ans:

Illiterate persons who cannot utter Gayatri Mantra correctly, can perform Jap of Panchakshari Gayatri "Om bhoor Bhuvaha Swaha." If they cannot utter even these words correctly, they can perform Jap of "Hari Om Tat-Sat." This also serves the purpose of Panchakshari Gayatri Mantra .
