Here is what Sri Sri Ravi Shankar or Guruji answers when one follower asks Guruji the meanins of Gayatri Mantra.
Gayatri Mantra and Its Meaning
Gayatri mantra encompasses the whole universe. There are 24 letters that make Gayatri mantra. There are 24 vertebra in our spinal cord. One is Omkar, two becomes So hum, then like wise 16 and then 24 becomes Gayatri Mantra. Gayathri Mantra is the expansion of that one Omkar. If one is instructed you can can certainly chant the mantra. The meaning of the Gayatri mantra is, let the divinity sink through my intellect. Let our life be purified. But again if you just say Om, that also means the same.
