Adults who regularly practice Gayatri Mantra and yoga report higher well-being than those who practice only yoga, who in turn report higher well-being than nonpractitioners. A cross-sectional survey of 1,135 adults compared practitioners of Gayatri Mantra with yoga, yoga-only practitioners, and nonpractitioners. Gayatri Mantra with yoga practitioners scored significantly higher on peace of mind, general well-being, life satisfaction, and resilience than yoga-only practitioners, who scored higher than nonpractitioners on all measures except resilience. Longer duration of practice was positively associated with well-being.
