Gayatri, Savitri and Saraswati are known to exist in every individual's body. Bhur, Bhuvah and Swah, which come in the Gayatri mantra, denote the body or materialization, the life force, the vibration, and the soul signifying the radiation. Bhur symbolizes the earth, which is nothing but an amalgamation of several materials in the world. This denotes to the human body, which is also created by combining several materials together. Bhuvah refers to the life force which gives out vibrations in the body. Swah refers to the act of Prajnāna-shakti, which sustains the life force. This Prajnāna-shakti is called a constant, integrated awareness. This is also known as radiation produced in the lives of an individual.
Gayatri is believed to be created of five different faces that make her unique. The first is considered to be "Om", the second being "Bhur-bhuvah-svah", The third "Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ", the fourth "Bhargo Devasya Dhīmahi", and finally, the fifth and the last face called "Dhiyo Yonah Prachodayāt". Gayatri represents these five faces, also known as the five prāñas, the five forces of life. Gayatri is known to be the protector and the saviour of the five prāñas existing in an individual. It also protects the one who recites it. It is called Gayatri. When Gayatri acts as protector of the life forces, she is known as Savitri. Savitri is known in the scriptural story as the devoted wife who brought her husband to life, Sathyavan. Savitri is the deity of the five prāñas already residing in the devotee's body.
