Chapter 1:Significance of Gayatri mantra

1.SIGNIFICANCE OF GAYATRI MANTRA

Practice of Gayatri Mantra is the essence of all Vedas. The Gods Brahma,Visnu and Rudra medidate on and perform Jap of Gayatri at the time of twilights.- Devi Bhagawatha l 6 A 16/15 l .

Gayatri mantra is said to be the food of Gods .This is the mantra that transforms human being to his/her original nature – Devatva (Godliness) by annihilating his/her ignorance. The self (soul) is nothing but the God but it has lost its identity because of ignorance. When ignorance is eliminated, we resume to our original nature. The root cause of all human suffering in the world is ignorance, infirmity and lack. These three kinds of suffering can be removed by invoking the triple currents of the occult powers of Gayatri. Hreem removes ignorance, Shreem removes lack and Kleem removes infirmity. This super science of acquiring the most coveted bliss which was discovered by the Indian mystics and Yogis, is their greatest gift to humanity. This discovery is known as Sadhana. Sadhana leads to Siddhis (divine powers). Gayatri-Sadhana is the fount of miraculous divine powers. 3 Version1,2010 edition

Chapter1 :Significance of Gayatri mantra

Swami vivekananda : “Gayatri mantra is a mantra of righteous wisdom and therefore, it has been called a bejeweled crown of all the mantras”. JBS Haldane (Eminent Scientist(1892-1964)): "The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world" Bhagavan Sri krishna (In The Gita): "Amongst the rivers I will be in the Ganges, Amongst the mountains I will be in the Vindhyas, Amongst the Mantras I will be in the Gayatri" Great yogi Shri Rama Krishna Paramhamsa stated “ I tell people that it is not necessary to get engaged in complicated Sadhanas(=Spiritual practice). Perform simple Gayatri Sadhana and see the results. Great Siddhis(occult powers) are attained by Gayatri Sadhana. This Mantra is short, no doubt, but it is extremely powerful.” The great western thinker, Arthur Koestler, had once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs! Max Muller (German philologist 1823-1900): "Let us obtain (meditate on) the adorable splendor of Savitri (Sun God), may He arouse our minds." Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948): "The man who recites the Gayatri can not fall a prey to illness." 4 Version1,2010 edition

Chapter2 : Meaning of Gayatri mantra

2.MEANING OF GAYATRI MANTRA

Gayatri Mantra as a prayer to God that asks for spread of divine knowledge and annihilation of our ignorance. Gayatri mantra as a mantra creates spiritual vibrations with the individual that awakens 24 subtle glands which in turn generate 24 different kinds of specific energies (commonly referred to activation of 24 Gods within us). Gayatri mantra is the only mantra which is beyond all unnecessary categorizations of race,religion,gender,caste etc made by humans. These immature categorizations do not hold any meaning in God realization (the realization of Devatva). In this mantra, God is addressed as TAT (means That in Sanskrit). It entitles full liberty to the individual to worship God as he/she likes.

Chapter2 : Meaning of Gayatri mantra

Word by Word meaning of Gayatri mantra : OM or AUM =OM comprises of three letters A,U and M;A=stands for Atma or Soul-The mind should think of only the soul and remove body conciousness; U=Unnathi or progress – emotional,intellectual, soceital and spiritual upliftment of self and the world; M=Mahannatha=stands for cultivation of top notch qualities and attributes in life and living a great and noble life. BHUHU,BHUVAHA and SVAHA are known as Maha vyahrities (Maha=Great ,Vya=all pervasive, ahriti=cosmic knowledge) Bhuhu is physical-with respect to individual, it is body. Macroscopically, it is material existence. Bhuvaha is mental/intellectual –Individually, it is mind and intellect. Macroscopically, it is Chaitanya or the energy capacity to do work) which controls matter in this universe. Svaha- Individually,it is our inner self. On the whole,it is Parabrahman (God) which plays with Chaitanya and Jad. By contemplating on these 3 vyahrities,one attains the divine wisdom of using cosmic energy on cosmic matter. 6 Version1,2010 edition

Chapter2 : Meaning of Gayatri mantra

TAT=that (God)-God is impersonally addressed as TAT just like in the Vedas. SAVITHUR=Savita means light. Here,Savita signifies the triple currents of Gayatri – Hreem(Knowledge),Shreem (Wealth) and Kleem (Physical powers and good health). Savithur or God’s light spreads everywhere with this mantra and removes ignorance. Hreem destroys lack of knowledge, Shreem destroys lack of wealth or poverty and Kleem destroys lack of health or physical weakness. VARENYAM= Spread BHARGO= annihilate or destroy (ignorance) DEVASYA= divine DHEEMAHI=we meditate DHIYO=intellect YO=who NAHA=our PRACHODHAYAT=requesting / urging / praying In short -it is a prayer to the Almighty Supreme God, the Creator of entire cosmos, the essence of our life’s existence, who removes all our pains and sufferings and grants happiness beseeching His/Her divine grace to imbibe within us .Her/ His divinity and brilliance purify us and guide our righteous wisdom on the right path 7 Version1,2010 edition

Chapter2 : Meaning of Gayatri mantra

Occult meaning of Gayatri mantraAs mentioned before,Gayatri not only is a prayer for supreme knowledge, but also a mantra. Mantras have huge occult powers within them. Of all the mantras, all the great rishis consider the supreme mantra is Gayatri mantra with gigantic occult powers and supernatural siddhis (powers). During speech, the nerve-fibres of the particular parts of the mouth from which sound emits stretch up to different parts of the body and put pressure on the corresponding glands. There are many large and small, visible and invisible glands in the body. Yogis know that some specific energies lie hidden in these glands, ShatChakras (six energy centre) related to the Sushumna gland are quite well known but there are several other such glands in the body. The utterance of different words has its impact on different glands and by such impact the energy of these glands gets stimulated.

8 Version1,2010 edition

www.awgp.org

Chapter2 : Meaning of Gayatri mantra

There are twenty-four letters in Gayatri- Mantra which are related to twenty-four such glands located in the body which, on getting stimulated, activate and awaken the hidden powers of righteous wisdom.

Gayatri mantra activates the above-mentioned twenty-four divine qualities in the devotee. With their growth, varied accomplishments (Siddhis) and prosperity start manifesting in the life of the devotees. Version1,2010 edition

Chapter4 : How to practice Gayatri mantra

Step 4: Understand/remember the meaning of Gayatri mantra (for say 2-3 mins) Step 5: Perform chanting(Jap) of Gayatri mantraIdeally ,Gayatri mantra has to be chanted 108 times. You can start with 10 times and gradually increase to 108 times. Generally, Gayatri Sadhak do the Gayatri mantra chanting in 3 sets of 108 times each.1set in the morning ,1set in the afternoon and 1 set in the evening.(1 noon and 2 twilights) But most of us work in the afternoon. Therefore, some sadhak do 1 set in the morning and 2 sets in the evening .This is the standard practiced for today’s world. If your religion permits idol worship, you can chose an idol or photo of your favorite God’s form and imagine the deity during chanting. There are 3 kinds of Jap or chanting: 1.Vachak jap-Chanting loudly 2.Upanshu jap-Chanting by lip movement 3.Manasik jap –Chanting mentally The sadhak can choose one of these as per their convenience. Even the posture you sit during sadhana should keep you relaxed so that you can concentrate on the meditation. 12 Version1,2010 edition

Chapter4 : How to practice Gayatri mantra

Step 6: Acknowledge the Gods and Guru by thanking them for their grace Step 7: Maintain a spiritual diary –After meditation, write down what went well, what would have been better and how I will improve. Without measurement there is no progress. Let us be systematic and use scientific approach in everything we do. Few attributes of Gayatri Sadhana : 1) Some Tantriks (practitioners of occult powers) perform Gayatri mantra at midnights which is classified as Tantrik sadhana. These are mainly to get immediate materialistic benefits of Gayatri but are dangerous. So, please be cautious by not performing jap at abnormal times. However, If you are doing Manasik jap (i.e, Jap only in mind), you can do it at any time. 2) At advance level, Sadhaks perform deep meditations on Gayatri mantra which manifolds its powers accordingly. These are called as anusthans. During these deep meditations, strict rules of Sadhana (spiritual practice) are followed likeabstinence from liquor, non vegetarian food, sex, tasty food, These anusthans can be started on any day as per the sadhak’s will. 13 Version1,2010 edition

Chapter 4 : How to practice Gayatri mantra

3) Sadhana is always kept as a top secret and never told. There are 3 reasons behind this –1) If you discuss your Sadhana with others, others may discourage or point out irrelevant mistakes which may de motivate your will towards the objective. 2) The more you talk about your spiritual achievements or practice, the more you are prone to develop Spiritual ego that you are great which is highly detrimental to spiritual progress. 3)Ensuring liberty of worship :every individual is different-every individual’s approach towards God is different. Some extremists force others to worship God in a similar manner like they do which is not appropriate. Liberty is the epitome of Gayatri Sadhana. Therefore,a sadhak should not reveal his/her Sadhana and impose others to practice the way he/she does. Cant we at least discuss Sadhanas so that others can derive benefits from what you are doing ? Yes .definitely we should discuss the good ways of performing Gayatri sadhana but only if the other aspirant is keen on knowing about Gayatri rather than ridiculing your sadhana. Strategy and diplomacy is used such that you answer his/her doubts but at the same time not reveal your Sadhana. It is always advisable to guide him/her towards a authentic guru or book if you don’t know the answers. Version1,2010 edition

Chapter 4 : How to practice Gayatri mantra

Untold secret of Gayatri mantra :

Many Sadhaks perform Gayatri mantra and get benefits ,but only few of them attain the complete benefits of Gayatri. This mantra is like a treasure house of siddis but it has to be unlocked. What are the keys to unlock these powers from this mantra? Vasishtha and Vishwamitra are the two keys that unlock the spiritual and material powers of Gayatri. Very few of the sadhaks have unlocked Gayatri mantra using these keys. What are these keys? Vasista (Vaishist=special) means formidable achiever-One has to be powerful achiever in his/her work field, keen learner and ambitious to attend siddhis or perfection. When he/she practises this art of perfection in many fields, he/she becomes versatile and expands wisdom(= Generic knowledge of all intelligences) Vishwamitra ( Vishwa=World,Mitra=Friend)-He/She has to be friend of the world.This includes-immense love and affection for the world beings irrespective of race,religion etc.respect for life of plants and animals-intense feeling for everyone's enlightenment(not only his/her)-thinking that the whole world is his/her family and he/she has to protect it. By repeated and rigourous practice of Gayatri mantra and living both Vasishtha and Vishwamitra,you can unlock the hidden powers of Gayatri.Both the keys are essential. 15 Version1,2010 edition
