THE POWER OF GAYATRI MANTRA

                                                       GAYATRI MANTRA

             THERE ARE MANY FORMS O GAYATRI, BUT ONE PARTICULAR FORM IS CALLED SAVITUR GAYATRI, WHICH IS DERIVED FROM THE WORD SAVITRI, THE NAME OF MOTHER DIVINE, RADIANT AND EFFULGENT. BEAR IN MIND THAT WHILE MOTHER DIVINE, LIKE OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, ENGENDERS LIGHT, UNTIL WE INVOKE THE LIGHT WITHIN, THE WORLD AROUND US IS DARK. AND THERE IS LITTLE HOPE FOR THE PERSON WHO REMAINS DARK INSIDE.

            THE VEDAS TALK ABOUT FOUR STATES OF MIND, SUSHUPTA, WHEN YOU ARE SLEEPING, JAGRITA, WHEN YOU ARE AWAKE, SWAPANA, WHEN YOU ARE DREAMING, AND TURIYA, WHEN YOU ARE BEYOND. THERE ARE ALSO SEVEN PLANES OF EXISTENCE OF WHICH THREE ARE KEY, BHU, THIS MATERIAL PLANE, BHUVAH, THE PLANE OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND SVAH, OUR TRUE SELF, SOMETHING THAT IS EVEN BEYOND SONSCIOUSNESS. THE EXPERIENCE YOU MIGHT GO THROUGH WHEN YOU ARE CONSCIOUS IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT IS BEYOND CONSCIOUSNESS.

            CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF IS VITAL FOR MANTRA SADHANA. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO REMEMBER WHILE CHANTING ANY MANTRA, AND CERTAILY THE GAYATHRI MANTRA, THAT IT'S NOT ABOUT BECOMING A PARROT AND KEEP CHANTING WITHOUT ANY FEELING, SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT TO GET THROUGH THE MANTRA AS IF IT'S TASK THEY HAVE TAKEN UPON THEMSELVES: GOOD LORD, DO I WANT TO SIT AND CHANT THIS MANTRA AGAIN? AS I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO DO IN MY LIFE,  AND I HAVE TAKEN UPON MYSELF ONE MORE THING?".

            IF YOU ARE GOING TO CHANT THE MANTRA WITH THIS SENTIMENT, YOU WILL NOT GET ANY RESULTS FROM IT - YOU MAY UNDERSTAND, BUT NOT BENEFIT FROM THE MANTRA. THIS IS THE MOST  IMPORTANT, QUALITATIVE ASPECT OF MANTRA SCIENCE, AND IT SIMPLY CANNOT BE IGNORED. IN THAT SENSE, IT'S NOT A TRADITIONAL SCEINCE - IT REQUIRES FAITH.

         ANOTHER IMPORTANT ASPECT OF MANTRA SCIENCE IS LEARNING ITS PROPER USE. WHEN YOU CHANT MANTRAS, AND WHEN THE GRACE OF MOTHER DIVINE IS FULLY BESTOWED UPON YOU, YOU WILL REALIZE WHEN AND HOW TO  USE IT. THAT DISCRETION, THAT SENSE OF DISCERNING WISDOM, COMES AFTE A LONG TIME OF MANTRA SADHANA.

          

              INITIALLY WHEN YOU GAIN POWER AND SHARPENIED INTUTION, OR WHEN YOU FELL YOU CAN BLESS SOMEBODY AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO SOMEBODY'S LIFE, YOU WILL BE TEMPTED TO SAY, "YES, GRANTED, OKAY, SO BE IT", BECAUSE YOU WANT TO MAKE OTHERS HAPPY. OR WORSE, YOU MAY SIMPLY WANT TO IMPRESS PEOPLE. BUT LET'S ASSUME YOUR INTENTION IS SIMPLY TO MAKE OTHERS HAPPY. TO SAY. "OH THIS PERSON IS BOTHERED BY THIS, LET ME MAKE HIM HAPPY", OR YOU'LL SAY, "OH GRANTED, YOU'LL WIN A MILLION DOLLARS TOMORROW," AND SO ON. IF YOU DO THAT, YOU WILL LOSE THE POWER VERY QUICKLY INDEED - IN A MATTER OF WEEKS, OR EVEN DAYS, IF YOU'RE NOT LUCKY. THERE IS A SAYING IN HINDI, BANDAR KE HAATH USTRA LAG GAYA HAI. THE MONKEY'S GOT A RAZOR IN HIS HANDS AND IT'S NOW JUST RUNNING IT OVER EVERYTHING IT SEES.

                THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU CHANT A MANTRA, IT TAKES TIME FOR THE ENERGY TO COME TO YOU. NATURE IS PREPARING YOU SO YOU ARE READY TO PROVIDE A REAL BENEFIT TO SOCIETY.

             PEOPLE WILL COME TO YOU, AND ONLY ONE PERCENT OF THEM WILL COME SIMPLY TO SAY," I AM VERY HAPPY, I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE". NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF PEOPLE WILL COME TO YOU WITH PROBLEMS, ALMOST ALL OF WHOM WOULD BELIEVE THEY ARE NOT THE CAUSE OF THEM. IF SOMEONE BELIEVES HE IS NOT THE CAUSE OF HIS PROBLEM, HOW CAN WE SOLVE IT? IF HE BELIEVES THAT SOMETHING ELSE IS CAUSING THE ISSUE, AND SAYS, "FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT DON'T TELL ME TO DO ANYTHING, BECAUSE I AM NOT THE CAUSE OF IT", YOU MIGHT SAY, "OKAY, YOUR PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLED."

            THERE WAS THIS PERSON IN CANADA - AND I AM TELLING YOU HIS REAL-STORY, WHICH I WITNESSED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN I FIRST MET HIM IN INDIA, HE WAS A DEVOUT WORSHIPPER OF THE GAYATRI MANTRA. HE WAS THE FIRST ONE WHOM I SAW WHO ACTUALLY HAD GAYATRI SIDDHI . SIDDHI IS WHEN A MANTRA BECOMES YOUR OWN AND YOU BECOME THE MANTRA, THE ENERGY OF THE MANTRA WORKS THROUGH YOU, LIVES IN YOU, BENEFITTING OTHER PEOPLE. HE BLESSED AND HELPED MANY PEOPLE SAIL THROUGH DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCE IN LIFE.

                                                          FOUR TYPES MANTRA

              

                                1. "OM BHURBHUVAH SVAH," FIRST PAUSE,

                                2. "TATSAVITURVARENYAMA," SECOND PAUSE,

                                3. "BHARGO DEVASYA DHIMAHI", THIRD PAUSE,

                                4. " DHIYO YO NAH, PRACODAYATA," FOURTH PAUSE.

            IN THE BEGINNING, WHEN YOU CHANT THIS MANTRA, YOU FOLLOW A STRICT DISCIPLINE, SO TO SPEAK. YOU MIGHT ONLY SIT DOWN AND THEN CHANT. BUT AS YOU PROGRESS, CHANTING BECOMES A PART OF YOUR LIFE, AND YOU CAN CHANT 24/7.
