I have prepared this article after an intensive study of various texts and presenting my observations before you.<\/p>\n
Please go through<\/p>\n
Everyone knows what is Gayatri Mantra but if I have to describe the divine qualities of this amazing manthra then Gayathri manthra is,<\/p>\n
\u201cAgnirmukham Brahmasiraha.. Vishnu Hridayam Rudra Sikhah\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n It means Lord Agni, the Hindu God of fire is the face of Gayatri mantra; Lord Brahma \u2013 the srishti karaka or the creator of this universe is the head of Gayatri mantra; Lord Vishnu -the sthithi karaka or the mantainer or preserver is the heart of Gayatri mantra and Lord Siva \u2013 the laya karaka, the destroyer or the transformer is the corona of Gayatri mantra\u201d<\/p>\n While Lord Brahma is the gross body of Gayatri mantra; Lord Vishnu is it\u2019s\u00a0subtle body and Lord Siva the causative body of this all powerful mantra.<\/p>\n Gayatri Veda Jananee.. Gayatri Loka Paavanee.. Na Gayatryah Param Jasya.. Metha Dwignaana Muchyathe<\/strong><\/p>\n It means Goddess Gayatri is not only the mother of all the holy Vedas but Gayatri mantra is also the sanctity by itself that keeps all the fourteen lokas sacred..<\/p>\n Hence, there\u2019s no other mantra in this universe that\u2019s more powerful than the Gayatri mantra that deserves a meditation and there\u2019s also no other mantra that teaches it\u2019s chanter a better philosophy than the Gayatri mantra.<\/p>\n (Gayatri mantra should not be written anywhere nor should it be recited loudly.. It’s ridiculous that people are using it as mobile ringtones and caller tunes.. They think it is devotion towards the holy Goddess but it is disservice to the sanctity of the sacred mantra).<\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span> Because Gayatri mantra fulfills the desires of the human soul, it is called the Kamadhenu of Bhuloka \u2013 the celestial Cow of the earth.<\/p>\n ><\/span><\/strong> Because Gayatri mantra withdraws it\u2019s chanter from the eternal cycle of life and death and grants him salvation, it is called \u2018Sudha\u2019 \u2013 the Ambrosia or the Elixir.<\/p>\n ><\/span><\/strong> Because Gayatri Mantra, with it\u2019s touch, converts the metal like subjectivity in a noble devotee into Gold, it\u2019s called the \u2018Alchemist\u2019.<\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span> Because Gayatri Mantra grants everything Her devotee seeks, it is called the \u2018Kalpa Vriksha\u2019 – the celestial tree.<\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span> Because the efforts of those who recite the Gayatri Mantra shall never go waste, it is called the \u2018Brahmastra\u2019, the invincible arrow or the weapon.<\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span> Most importantly, the twenty four aksharas in Gayatri Mantra represent or define the twenty four \u2018Tatvas\u2019 of Goddess Gayatri.<\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span> These twenty four \u2018Tatvas\u2019 are the \u2018pancha mahabhuthas\u2019 or the five elements of Nature (Akash, Vayu, Agni, Jal and Prithvi)..<\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span> The ‘Pancha tanmatras\u2019 or the five archetypes (shabdha, sparsha, roopa, rasa, gnadha);<\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span> The \u2018pancha gnanendriyas\u2019 or the five organs of sense(eye, ear, nose, tongue and skin)<\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span> And the \u2018pancha karmendriyas\u2019 or the five organs of action (mouth, feet, hands, anus and genitals)..<\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span> The other four \u2018tatvas\u2019 are Manasu or mind; budhdhi or mindfulness; chiththam or dross and ahankaram or pride.<\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span> It is only for this reason it is said, \u201cGayantham Trayathe.. Yasmaath Gayathree Tyabhi Dheeyathe\u201d,<\/strong> which means Gayatri Mantra forever protects the one who chants it .<\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span> It is also for this reason it is said \u201csince the twenty four powerful aksharas in Gayatri mantra represent the twenty four vital organs of a human body, it\u2019s daily recitation would protect it\u2019s chanter\u2019s all twenty four body parts from diseases.<\/p>\n ><\/strong><\/span> It is also the recitation power of this Gayatri mantra that had metamorphosed the Rajarshi Viswamithra \u2013 the magical magnifico (manthra drashta) behind Gayatri Mantha \u2013 to Brahmarshi Viswamithra.<\/p>\n Every chanter of Gayatri mantra should bear in mind..\u00a0The bad energies in a chanter of Gayatri mantra may not start diminishing as soon as he begins the recitation of the mantra but would gradually and certainly go over a period of time..<\/p>\n Anyone, however sinful his past might be, may still recite this mantra if only he decides to walk the path of righteousness forever, thereafter.<\/p>\n Love<\/p>\n Narrenaditya Komaragiri<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n narrenaditya@pixelsitelive.com<\/p>\nA chanter of Gaytri mantra should also know it’s other vital divine qualities and benefits<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Finally, there\u2019s one important point<\/strong><\/h4>\n
