| Abstract | Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain a leading global health burden, exacerbated by the chronic stressors of contemporary life. While traditional medical interventions are vital, there is an increasing demand for cost-effective, adjunct mind-body therapies that address both physiological and psychological risk factors. Objective: This narrative review explores the impact of the Gayatri Mantra on the cardiovascular system, specifically focusing on its role in stress mitigation, autonomic regulation, and hemodynamic stability. Methods: A comprehensive search of electronic databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, alongside authoritative classical Vedic commentaries, was conducted. The synthesis focuses on studies linking rhythmic mantra recitation to autonomic and cardiovascular outcomes. Results: Evidence suggests that the precise 24-syllable rhythmic recitation of the Gayatri Mantra stimulates the vagus nerve, enhancing vagal tone and promoting parasympathetic dominance. This mechanism is associated with measurable improvements in heart rate variability (HRV), and significant reductions in blood pressure, BMI, and psychological markers such as anxiety and depression. Conclusion: The Gayatri Mantra serves as a potent, non-invasive, and accessible tool for cardiovascular risk reduction. Integrating this ancient practice into modern cardiac rehabilitation offers a holistic framework for managing the autonomic and emotional profiles of patients with coronary heart disease |
