The Vishnu Gayatri Mantra is a devotional mantra structured in the Gayatri meter, traditionally used in Vedic recitation. It is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the sustaining aspect of the Supreme, and seeks illumination of the intellect through divine guidance. Devotees chant it with focus to align their thoughts with dharma, meaning righteous conduct.

The word Gayatri denotes a specific metrical pattern of twenty four syllables arranged in three lines. Vishnu refers to the all-pervading divine presence who maintains cosmic order. When combined, the mantra becomes a contemplative prayer invoking clarity and steady awareness, preserved through devotional recitation traditions across generations.
