Gayatri Mantra is actually used to invoke Goddess Savita. Some interpret Savitr or Savita as a Male God. Some as Female Goddess. I think Savitr or Savitri Devi is the femininely energy of Sun God Surya.

सविता देवी ! आप इस दुनिया को रोशन कर रहे हैं। आप इस पृथ्वी, इस आकाश और ब्रह्मांड को प्रकाशित कर रहे हैं। इतना ही नहीं, आप तीनों लोकों के अपने-अपने स्थानों पर उचित अस्तित्व के लिए जिम्मेदार हैं। और मेरी बुद्धि को प्रेरित करने के लिए दयालु बनें ताकि हम आपके सर्वशक्तिमान और शानदार ब्रह्मांडीय खेल को जान सकें।
