The factor which makes Gayatri Mantra
extremely potent is the Sadhak's confidence coupled with faith. Psychologists
are well acquainted with the power of self confidence. Instances have been
cited that only on account of imaginary fear people met untimely death and
persons who were almost dead got new life on account of faith and confidence.
Tulsidas has in his Ramayana compared faith and confidence to Bhawani and
Shankar and stated that -"Bhawani Shankaro vande shraddha vishvas
rupino". It is faith which has the power to turn a bush into a ghost, a
rope into a snake and an idol into God. There are people who happily sacrifice
money, comfort and even life for defending one's faith and conviction. Eklavya,
Kaveer etc. are examples of persons who acquired knowledge not directly from
their masters, Gurus, but by dint of their unflinching faith in them. The basis
of hypnotism is to get the desired work done by the subject just by infusing
faith in him in the words of the physician. The Mantra of the Tantrik works
miraculously on the patient only if he has deep faith in it. A Sadhak devoid of
faith may utter that Tantrik Mantra hundreds of times but it will not have any
effect. This fact applies to Gayatri Mantra also. When the Sadhak takes up
Sadhana with faith and confidence Gayatri Mantra becomes much more effective
and proves to be extra-ordinarily powerful die to the combined effect of faith
and the Mantra's own intrinsic spiritual energy. It is explained below that
which particular letter of Gayatri is related to which part of the body. The
details are given in the following chart:-

Gayatri activates the above mentioned
twenty-four divine qualities in the devotee.
With their growth, varied accomplishments (Saddhis) and prosperity start
manifesting in the life of the devotees. Most of the people think that some god
or goddess is bestowing these gifts because they are unable to see and
understand the working of these subtle divine energies and the transformations
flowing there from. Once they understand that transformations are taking place
as a result of their own Sadhana they would realize that it is not by way of
some scientific process of spiritual growth. Gayatri Sadhana is not based on
blind faith but has a solid scientific basis.
