some groups (including usually Christians and Jews)add the following words to
the above mantra:*

Prayer groups which will be participating in the Brahmaloka prayers will need
to add the following words between the OM Janaha and OM Tat Savitur Varenyam
verses of the Gayatri.

OM Tapaha*
OM Satyam**

* This is a plane for those who follow God's Son Jesus Christ's instructions
to take up
their cross and follow him.
** The satyam plane means a plane with a certain kind of truth inside of us
see other mantra posting this section of prayers for more expansive prayers
on this)

OM Janaha is the causal, truth generating, plane of 16 vowel sounds and
combination vowel sounds. We place these sounds in the throat part of our
spiritual body (vishudda chakra of purity and fullness)

By the way these worldly Gayatri chants and mantra sounds can also be
combined with
a coordinated dual spiritual sequence of chants inside our human spiritual
bodies

OM satyam O God of truth!
OM ajna O God of obedience!
OM vishudda O God of purity!
OM anahata O God of emptiheartedness!
OM manipura O God of the precious stones (which
Joshua stepped on leading us across the Jordan River
into our promised land)!
OM swadisthana O God of uprightness!
OM muladhara O God of eternal physical/spiritual rootedness

Where does faith fit into this scheme?
"Faith is evidence of things not seen"... (ie on the astral plane Bhuvah)
"It is the substance of things hoped for"..(ie on the heavenly plane Svah)

Core of the subatance of the reality of faith in us:

4th dimensional plane (out of five that form the substances in our reality)
according to the Tattriya Upanishad

Shraddha Faith is at the front of us.
Satyam (relative truth) is on the left of us.
Rritam (absolute truth) is on the right of us.
Yoga (unity) is in the center of it in us.
Maha (a place for all of us to dwell) is behind us or after us.

5th dimensional plane

Priyam (happiness) is at the front of us.
Externally realized joy is on the left of us.
Internally realized joy is on the right of us.
Ananda (value) is in the center of it in us.
Brahman (reality...consciouness,love,will,knowledge,action) is behind or
after us.

At this point if you have been living alone and meditating with
God for many years
You may follow the Gayatri with the Hari OM prayer.

I AM Hari OM, tat, sat, chid, ananda.

that is...

I AM the infinite creative cosmic energy inside of OM (pranava or living
breathing God)
and this creative energy soul is and every will be
a permanent spiritual correspondence inside of us all(absolute truth)
consisting of reality,consciousness, and love.
