Theosophy and the Gayatri

I have often wondered if the Gayatri mantra and the theosophical
concept of the seven planes of consciousness have something in common.
What do you think based on these statements from this website,
http://www.hronline.com/aryasamaj/mother.html?
The SAMPUTA GAYATRI has the the 7 VAHYRAITIS at the beginning: OM
BHU, OM BHUVA, OM SWAH, OM MAHA, OM JANAH, OM TAPAH, OM SATYAM. These
seven VAHYRAITIS performed in PRANAYAMA help us cross the seven
oceans, the seven heavens, the seven levels of Consciousness by
meditating on the seven Chakras.
