he famous Gayathri Mantra is the only mantra which is not a Prayoga Mantra. It is being chant for the well being and cannot be used for any other purpose.
During upanayanam, it is being ordered to chant the Gayathri Mantra atleast 108 times a day. (But 1008 times chanting of gayathri is the best)
Gayatri mantra upadesam usually done on Upanayanam day for Brahmins. Only during this upadesam mother (female) is allowed. (No other mantras generally not taught to females earlier).
Hindu reform movements spread the practice of the mantra to include women and all castes and not gayatri mantra is used by all.
