If chanted wrongly the inappropriate vibrations arising from it can cause distress to the chanter hence the above Gayatri mantra should be chanted under the guidance of the Guru only by those on whom the thread ceremony has been performed. This mantra is more effective if chanted in the morning after a bath.

2. If this mantra has been advised to one by his Guru as worship, then due to the resolve (sankalp) of the Guru that individual is not distressed by the energy generated from that mantra.

3. When chanting the mantra, diet and conduct norms have to be followed. Only then are the appropriate effects of that mantra observed. If not followed then the energy of the mantra is utilized to overcome the defects arising from not observing diet and conduct norms. Consequently, results of chanting the mantra are not as expected.
