Hidden Powers of Mantra

Origin of Universe


Power of Mantra




Vedic affirmation of the eternal omnipresent Omkar
The power of chant of a mantra is purely spiritual in nature.
It is a kind of conscious energy that influences body, mind & inner self (attitude)
Generates specific vibrations in the subliminal environment & cosmic domains of
consciousness
Importance of sonic pattern



Specific compilation of syllables and sonic patter of a mantra are of crucial importance.
The syllables used in a mantra are like coded representation of sonic energy latently stored in
it.
Enunciation or chanting specific combination of specific syllables in specific order generates
specific quanta of energy that could be of manifold higher order than nuclear energy
Do you know ?? Mantras were invented by the rishis – the scientists
of Shabda Brahm-Nada Brahm- as the coded formulae and subtle ‘sonic
devices’ to generate and use specific effects of the sublime power of Shabda.
Hidden Powers of Mantra

Dual Effects



Jap of a mantra instantaneously generates dual effects – one in inner world and other in
external
Fire burns whatever is inside it and heats up the fireplace and its surrounding area.
Similarly, continuous chanting of a mantra not only titillates specific extrasensory energy
centers, nerve bundles and ganglions inside chanter’s body but also generates specific
vibrations in the surrounding space that spreads in all directions and influences the subtle
environment and other conscious beings too
Subtle Vs. Gross



The power of sublimated/subtle elements is always enormous as compared to that of
gross. Power of steam (subtle) is far more than water or ice (gross). Then what to say
about sublime powers of supreme energy of Shabda.
This is what make the mantras so unique and endowed with infinite power to vibrate and
transmute the spiritual as well as physical realms of life.
Hidden Powers of Mantra

Cyclic motion

As verified in scientific labs, continuous cyclic motion produces enormous power.
 By resonance, sound produced by march of a troop can even break a bridge.
Similarly, The energy generated by chanting of mantra in a specific rhythm at
constant amplitude is also quite intense. This conjugated with the impulsive force of
focused consciousness and vital energy stimulates the otherwise latent extrasensory
hormonal glands and power-nuclei in the body

Rate of Progress


The attainment of supernormal bequests depends on the mental and spiritual
makeup of the chanter and his engrossment in disciplined mode of chanting.
For ex., a radio catches only those frequencies for which it is tuned. The continuity
& quality of reception would correspond to unperturbed linkage & sensitivity &
perfection of internal components
Why Chant ? How to Chant ?

Purpose



4 stages





As body & clothes get clean after rubbing with soap. Similarly, chanting is
the process of cleansing /refining our inner self/attitude.
To awaken hidden divinity within and inculcate divine virtues by
simultaneously meditating over them
Repetition
Retention
Recall
Recognition (to put into practice & change one’s lifestyle
Transformation of Ego

The chanter while chanting any mantra should meditate upon the meaning
of the mantra and believe that divine qualities are being kindled within him
and he should try to bring a transformation in his lifestyle by believing
that he is not an ordinary soul and there is no room for any undesirability
within him.
How to Chant ?

Not just bead rotation

The process of chanting should not be only limited to just bead rotation and mechanical
chanting.

To reap full and real benefits of chanting, meditation is a very important aspect which is
generally ignored by chanters who just worry about finishing a fixed number of rounds of
bead.

Mechanical chanting although will yield results of its own but those are insignificant as
compared to chanting with correct mindset.
Why Gayatri Mantra ?
Om bhur bhuvah swah tatsaviturvarenyam
bhargo devasya dhimahi dhiyo yonah prachodyat
May the Almighty illuminate our intellect and inspire us towards the righteous path
(Rig-Veda 3/62/10, Sam-Veda 1462, Yajur-Veda 3/35, 22/9, 30/2, 36/3)

Supreme of all Mantras



Unique composition



This eternal mantra is said to be the genesis of the Vedas.
The seers, spiritual saints and scholars of all ages affirm the divine preeminence of this
mantra.
It has remarkable configuration of 24 syllables (carriers of Sabda Sakti)
Unique pattern of sublime currents of spiritual force which is derived from the deeper
science of Sabda brahm – Naad brahm
Spiritual aspects


Enables the chanter to reduce/ remove the effects of past karmas (deeds)
Chanter develops a divine ego which enables him to remove the
undesirability which have rooted themselves deep into the unconscious
mind over a period of many births .
Why Gayatri Mantra ?

Scientific aspects

Unperturbed enunciation of this mantra for a continuous
stretch of time would also generate powerful currents that
could induce divine effects by vibrating all subtle glands,
ganglions, nerve bundles, neuronal passages and extrasensory
energy centers in the physical, subtle and astral bodies.
 Scientific experiments reveal that chanting of Gayatri Mantra
stimulates emission of supernormal brain impulses that
generate specific aura around the chanter
 The sound waves that are created, when Gayatri Mantra is
said, is of the shape of a ring. It rises up with great speed,
through the medium of ether and goes towards Sun, and after
touching the surface of the Sun, it returns back along with the
powers of Sun, like Heat, Light, electrical and other powers
which are very subtle. Thus the Mantra combined with all the
powers of the Sun re-enters the subtle body of the ‘Practicer’.
The stronger the will-power and emotion attached with the
Mantra, the Stronger is the attraction of these powers of the
Sun. If the Mantra is said with the full concentartion of Mind,
it can make impossible, possible. *
Why Gayatri Mantra ?

Views

Theosophist scholar Mr. Leadveater attributes distinctive significance to the collective
chanting of Gayatri Mantra in his book “Man- Visible, Invisible” . The sonic waves
along with the sublime currents of Sabd sakti produced by the chanting of the mantra
propagate upwards in a spiral shape and expand up to the heart of Sun (the deity of
Gayatri Mantra). The echo of these is reflected back and bestows the supernatural energy
and flow of prana and divine brilliance of Sun on the body, mind and inner self of the
chanter.

Arthur Koestler, a renowned thinker, philosopher in an interview to “Blitz” magazine
said commenting on the nuclear war “The great Gayatri Mantra is more powerful than
thousands of atom bombs. If all of India collectively chants this mantra, the power
aroused thereby would annul all hazards of nuclear warfare and protect the globe…”.

Individual Vs Collective Effort

Importance of United efforts

United efforts bear unique importance.
 Tiny tips of dry grass knitted together form a strong rope
 Sunrays are bearable when spread on earth’s surface; when focused together at a point
via convex lens, they kindle fire instantaneously
 Gathering a group of wickers makes a broom

1+1 = 11




Power of collective endeavors is far more significant in the fields of consciousness and
spirituality.
Grouping of inert object with another gives two objects whereas join venture of two
active, talented persons may work like that of 1+1=11 or even more
Enthusiasm & joy generated by combined faith of pilgrims is truly remarkable.
Organized move of larger congregation of people of compatible ideologies motivated
for a common aim creates intense ambience of greater influence
Significance of Collective Prayer

Prayer




Unity in prayer



Psychologically, prayer is said to inculcate inducing instructions that gradually
invigorate the potentials of mind.
Intensity & impact of these inner ‘inscriptions’ of prayer rise in proportion with the piety
and depth of the devotee’s intrinsic faith.
These have reach in the hidden folds of mind and thus are effective in eradication of
psychiatric complications, mental weakness, tension, worries, illusions etc.
Unity, conjugation and superposition always multiply and magnify compatible effects.
Same holds true for collective prayer.
‘Namaj’ of Mohammedans, ‘Mass Prayer’ of Christians, ‘Retreat’ practices of army men
all signify this fact
Emergency situations



Groups of people, societies, nations as whole also take shelter of collective prayer at
times of emergency or calamitous adversities.
Bells of temples, churches, mosques, gurudwaras and all other shrines
ring with mass participation in prayers in war times.
This is the last asylum of hope for mankind in critical moments
of helplessness.
Examples of Collective Spiritual
Endeavors

Shri Ram



Role of monkeys & beers in battle of Shri Ram and Ravan illustrates necessity and
importance of mass movement at grass root.
Ram and Lakshman were divine incarnations; drying up a sea and ruining the reign of
Ravana was no difficulty for them but this could not have served the real purpose of
arousing the collective power of the masses that was the need of that era.
Shri Krishna

Lord Krishna- manifestation of the Almighty in human form, had liberated the world
from cruel autocracy of Kansa, Jarasandha and Shishupal at very young age.
 He could have ruined the perverted Kauravas and their gigantic army in few moments
but he preciously strove for the unity of the armed forces of the distributed states in
historic war of Mahabharata.
 In his childhood too, he encouraged collective participation of masses of Gokul for
lifting up the Govardhan hill despite being able to do so in his little finger
Examples of Collective Spiritual
Endeavors

Buddha


Mahatma Gandhi



Buddha changed the trends of the medieval era inspiring the collective arousal of the masses.
His preaching of “Buddham Saranam Gacchami, Dhammam Saranam Gacchami, Sangham
Saranam Gacchami” indeed vibrated awakened souls and led to the formation of an army of
“Bauddha Sanyasis” which was dedicated to the noble aims of “Dhammam”. The collective and
constructive efforts of these disciples spread his message of peace and kindness all over the
globe.
The world recognized the astonishing force of the non violent mass-movement educed by
Mahatma Gandhi for the independence of India.
The united strength of people motivated for a common patriotic goal had shaken and eventually
ousted the mighty British Empire.
Maha-Kumbh


The tradition of pilgrimage was founded by Rishis (sages) for arousing
and channelizing the collective power of morally inclined people for
global welfare and spiritual enlightenment of all.
Great saints, sages and scholars used to meet and discuss the global
problems and produce solutions and constructive plans for progress
and peace of all living beings.

1st spiritual experiment of grand participation in 1953 of people from all parts of the
society
auspicious commemoration of the glorious completion of twenty-four divine
mahapurascharanas (24 lac Gayatri mantra chants) by Gurudev Pt. Shriram Sharma
Acharya (founder of Gayatri Pariwar)
About 25000 sadhaks chanted 125000 Gayatri mantra each over 18 months period and
performed havans of 125000 of this holy mantra
This mahayagya and the associated sadhna was indeed the commencement of the divine
endeavor of Yug Nirman (reconstruction of an era )
Brahmastra Anushthan


The next major experiment of collective spiritual power was conducted as the
“Brahmastra Anushthan” was completed in 1958.
First phase comprised of 24 lac Gayatri mantra chants. Sadhaks who
had performed the Jap with chastity and austerity were allowed
to participate in this sacred yagya

Ashtagrahi Yog



Year 1962 faced the rare alignment of planets – the Ashtagrahi Yog, which was professed
by several authentic astrologers and foretellers across the global, as an ill omen for the
earth
All members of Gayatri Pariwar performed dedicated collective Anushthan to prevent
the likely disastrous effects and as a result it passed without any significant disturbance
to our planet
Shakti Mahapurascharan





This was another remarkable example of collective Sadhna at the times of sudden attacks
by China in 1962 & Pakistan in 1965.
Spiritual energy generated by these collective Sadhnas worked behind miraculous
happenings in the battlefield.
What made the victorious Chinese army’s unexpected ‘about-turn’ in front of the
defeating Indian army? Defense analysts/ political experts don’t
have a logical explanation to this…Only visionaries of subtle impact
were able to know the real cause.
These special experiments were accompanied by large number of
Gayatri Yagyas all over the country.
Unique Experiments of Collective
Writing of the Gayatri Mantra

Suraksha Anushthan

Much before scientific community was alarmed by the unexpected fall of the sky-lab in
June 1979, Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya initiated this spiritual experiment aimed at
preventing the disastrous consequences of the likely mishap.

Space scientist feared sky-lab’s fall would have risked calamitous loss at Laos, Manila,
Panama, Nigeria, states of Gujarat or Orissa and West Bengal in India. However, at last
moments this huge spacecraft got naturally deviated and plunged into the remote depths
of Pacific Ocean leaving safe the inhabited land on our planet.

No scientific investigation could decipher the hidden force of nature that triggered an
upright in scientifically approved likelihood.

Deep study into dominance of subtle world over visible world elucidated this would be
possible by the conscious power aroused by spiritual Sadhnas.

2011 is a year of greatest importance
in this global transition.
Many seers have prophesied that 2011-2012 would be a
turning point in the emergence of new era.
Swami Vivekandanda has said, “The process of the creation of the new era began with the
moment of birth of Thakur Ramakṛishṇa Paramhamsa in 1836”.
The world-renown Yogi, Maharṣi Aurobindo prophesized that the transitional period of
era change would be 175 years. Therefore, 1836 by adding 175 years becomes 2011.

The proclamation of these two great personalities clearly marks the
importance of year 2011.
2011 is also the year of the Birth Centenary of Acharya Shri Ram Sharma, founder of
All World Gayatri Pariwar. Who pioneered the revival of “Sat Yug”, through creative integration of
modern science and spirituality, ancient Dharmic traditions relevant for challenging circumstances of
modern times. According to Him, the “malicious thoughts” are the root cause of crisis in individual,
family, social and world affairs in contemporary times.
The only way out of this desperate situation is
“Thought Transformation.”

Revered Acharya ji had declared the period of 1980 – 2000 as Yug Sandhi Kal (cosmic
changes before the change of era).
He emphasized the need for greater purification of people’s mind and spiritual
enlightenment and molding their attitude to adopt the new world order that is due to be
bestowed by the Almighty.
In this 24 crore Gayatri Mantra Jap was performed daily collectively by 24 lac
parijans(members) per day which later increased to 120 crores chants per day.
Number of yagyas and havans were also augmented in the same proportion reaching
almost every village, town and city in India.
This remarks a rare endeavor of active participation of awakened souls in God’s project
of purification and righteousness orientation of the subliminal flow
Do you know ?? - As part of its Yug Nirman Yojana – a mission of social,
cultural and spiritual refinement and reconstruction, the Gayatri Pariwar,
Shantikunj Hardwar had mobilized a unique spiritual experiment at the
critical juncture of the change of an era.
