Now a days there are thousands of mantras available in all kinds of remedial books and magazines. The authenticity and the effectiveness of most of them is quite doubtful. Most of what we are reproducing below are from the book "Meditations from the Tantras" by Paramahamsa Swami Satyananda Saraswati, one of the greatest self realized yogis of our times and an acknowledged master of the tantra.
Gayatri Mantra: According to the Hindu scriptures Devi Gayatri is the Mother of the Vedas. It is said that even Trinities (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) worship her as their Mother.
The Gayatri Mantra is the prescribed daily mantra for all Hindus and regarded as the remover of all sins and the bestower of all desired things. It is also part of the Sandhya Vandana.
The sage Vishwamitra is given the credit for bringing Mother Gayatri to earth. The following is the most commonly recited Gayatri Mantra.
Om Bhuh Bhuvah Svah Tat Saviturvarenyam Bhargodevasya Dhimahi Dhiyoyonah Prachodayat
The meaning of the Gayatri mantra is as follows:
We contemplate the glory of Light illuminating the three worlds: gross, subtle, and causal. I am that vivifying power, love, radiant illumination, and divine grace of universal intelligence. We pray for the divine light to illumine our minds.
Om: The primeval sound Bhur: the physical world Bhuvah: the mental world Suvah: the celestial, spiritual world Tat: That; God; transcendental Paramatma Savithur: the Sun, Creator, Preserver Varenyam: most adorable, enchanting Bhargo: luster, effulgence Devasya: resplendent, supreme Lord Dheemahi: we meditate upon Dhiyo: the intellect, understanding Yo: May this light Nah: our Prachodayath: enlighten, guide, inspire
The other Gayatri Mantra is as follows:
Om Bhu, Om Bhuvah, Om Svaa, Om Mahaa, Om Janah, Om Tapah, Om Satyam, Om Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi Dhiyo Yo Nah PrachodayatOm Apo Jyotih Raso-mritam Brahmaa Bhur Bhuvah Swaa Om
According to the Hindu belief there are fourteen worlds. Bhu, Bhuvah, Svaa, Mahaa, Janah, Tapah, Satyam are the seven Higher worlds and Atata, Kutala, Vitala, Mahatala, Rasatala, Bhutala and Patala are the seven Lower worlds. The above Gayatri mantra is recited by those seeking the Higher worlds.

Understanding
With a determination to accomplish The highest welfare for all sentient beings, Who surpass even a wish-granting jewel I will learn to hold them supremely dear.
Whenever I associate with others I will learn, To think of myself as the lowest among all, And respectfully hold others to be supreme, From the very depths of my heart.
In all actions I will learn to search into my mind And as soon as an afflictive emotion arises Endangering myself and others, Will firmly face and avert it.
I will learn to cherish all beings of bad nature And those oppressed by strong sins and sufferings, As if I had found a precious Treasury very difficult to find.
When others out of jealousy treat me badly With abuse, slander, and so on, I will learn to take all loss And offer the victory to them.
When one whom I have benefited with great hope Unreasonably hurts me very badly , I will learn to view that person As an excellent spiritual guide.
In short, I will learn to offer to everyone without exception, All help and happiness directly and indirectly, And respectfully take upon myself, All harm and suffering of my mothers.
I will learn to keep these practices, Undefiled by the stains of the eight worldly conceptions, And by understanding all phenomena as like illusion, Be released from the bondage of attachment.
