What are the importance of Gayatri Mantra? When you should say the Gayatri ?
Never give up the Gayatri; you may give up or ignore any other mantra but you sIn the Gayatri Mantra, the unity of body, mind and soul is depicted in the first line,"Bhur-Bhuvah-Suvaha." The next line, "Bhargo Dhevasya Dheemahi", means "Throw away the darkness." "Dheeyo yonah Pracho-dhayaath" means "Let the effulgence of the Divine dispel the darkness of ignorance."
Gayatri means 'that which saves, when repeated'! It is the torch of spiritual wisdom (jnana)
hould recite the Gayatri at least a few times a day.
Recite the Gayatri. When you bathe, the body is being cleansed; let your mind and intellect also be cleansed. Make it a point to repeat it when you bathe as well as before every meal, when you wake from sleep, and when you go to bed. And also repeat santhi thrice at the end, for that repetition will give santhi or peace to three entities in you --body, mind, and soul.
Chant the Gayatri morning, noon, and evening. You do so many things. Why don't you chant this Gayatri? I bless all of you that you may sanctify your life in this way, making it useful and meaningful.
It is essential to recite the Gayatri mantra at least three times during morning, noon, and evening. Gayatri is a treasure you must guard throughout your lives.
The Gayatri can be recited even when one is taking a bath. It will mean also offering ablutions to the goddess. At noon, if the Gayatri is recited before taking one's meal, the food will get sanctified and become an offering to the deity.
Supplying the calories for the spirit is as necessary a process for happy living as supplying calories for the body. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, morning worship, noon worship, and evening worship --all six are equally essential. You miss any one of the six at your peril.
The Gayatri mantra has to be recited three times a day: in the morning at sunrise, at noon, and at sunset. These are called "sandhya kalam" --the time of coming together of night and day, of morning and evening, and of day and night.
Time, like man, has three qualities: sathwa, rajas, and thamas (poised or pure or serenity, passion, and inertia). The day is divided into three parts:
4am to 8am and 4pm to 8pm have the sathwic (equanimous) quality;
8am to 4pm are rajasic (passionate);
8pm and 4am are tamasic (inaction).
The eight hours from 8pm to 4am are used mainly for sleep. The eight hours of the day (from 8am to 4pm) are employed by all beings, including animals and birds, in the discharge of their day to day duties and are regarded as rajasic (active pursuit). When the four sathwic hours of the morning are used for engaging oneself in good actions like worship, virtuous deeds, and keeping good company, one is sure to raise oneself from the human to the Divine level.
It is during the sathwic period (4am to 8am and 4pm to 8pm) that the Gayatri mantra should be recited.

NO prohibition for chanting. However, it is preferred to chant before / at the time of Surise and Sunset. It is devoted to Sun. All the energy we get, is from the Sun only. I heard that it is scientifically proved, at the time of chanting this Particular Mantra, vibratiions in body differs from ordinary respiration and breathing. As a result of generations of such vibrations, blood flow improves as lot of Oxygen is pumped in the heart. It gets mixed up in the blood. It purifies the blood.
Hari OM
Have a nice day.
