Gayatri is Kamdhenu 1 (heavenly cow)


Infirmity means weakness. A man is unable to enjoy his natural basic rights on account of his physical, mental, social, intellectual and spiritual infirmities. Delicious dishes, beautiful damsels, sweet music, beautiful scenery have absolutely no meaning for a diseased person. He cannot enjoy money and wealth. How can one enjoy the joys of studying literature, poetry, philosophy etc. if he is intellectually bankrupt? Love, devotion, company of righteous persons and spiritual bliss can hardly be enjoyed by a person who is spiritually bankrupt. Nature's law of survival of the fittest works in eliminating the weak. The weak are always harassed and eliminated. Even positive, factors become quite unfavorable to such a man. W inter season which adds to the strength and vigor of strong persons and to the pleasures of an humorist becomes the cause for catching pneumonia causes of catching pneumonia, gout, rheumatism to a person of weak constitution. Factors which are debilitating for the weak prove invigorating for the strong. Even mighty emperors feel proud in adopting the figure of a roaring lion as the state emblem of their kingdom while the weak bleating goat is killed by wild animals or is sacrificed before the idol of Bhawani. The infirm, thus, always suffer and even favorable factors do not prove helpful to them.
Materials security is yet another cause for human suffering. Difficulties of several kinds have to be faced on account of scarcity of food, clothing, water, housing, cattle, land, companions, friends, money, medicines, books, weapons, teachers etc. and a person has to curtail his legitimate needs, suppress his feelings and waste his precious life. Even capable and competent persons feel themselves crippled beaten down for want of material resources.

Gayatir is Kamdhenu
One who sincerely invokes, adores and worships Gayatri, enjoys pleasures similar to the ones a child feels while sucking nectarlic milk of his mother's breasts. He gets rid of suffering created by ignorance, infirmity and scarcity and all his righteous desires are fulfilled.

Gayatri is Kalpa Vriksha
It is said that here is a Kalpa Vriksha in heaven and a person sitting underneath it gets whatever he wants. All his desires are instantly fulfilled. One can imagine how happy shall a person be who possesses such a Kalpa-vriksha. There is such a Kalpa-vriksha on this earth also which again is known as Gayatri. By outward appearance it is a string of twenty-four letters or nine word of this Mantra incorporates in it the keys to the fulfillment of all righteous desires of a man.
Gayatri is not only one of the numerous gods or goddess. It is the original creative energy of the Absolute Brahma, which is transcendent, in incomprehensible and beyond the cosmos. The words Gayatri Upasana carry the same meaning as Ishwar-Bhakti, Ishwar-Upasana, Brahma-Sadhana, Atma-Sakshatkar, Brahma-Darshan, Prabhu-Parayanta etc. Gayatri-Sadhana is, in fact exemplary yet easiest way of worship. Those who tread this path pass joyously through life and ultimately reach the ultimate goal of G od-realization. Absolute Brahma and Gayatri are, in fact, Two in One.
