Gayatri Mantra rejuvenates a
person spiritually. As soon as a person starts Gayatri Sadhana he feels a new
vibrancy surging within himself. With the increase in the element of
righteousness, vices, evil thoughts, evil tendencies, malice, avarice etc. star
decreasing and virtues like self-restraint, politeness, sweetness, honesty,
truthfulness, generosity, love, contentment, peace, service-mindedness, warmth
start increasing day by day. The result is that people are positively impressed
by his sweet nature and conduct and entertain feelings of praise, gratefulness,
faith and respect for him and gladly extent to him all the help that they can.
Besides, these virtues in themselves are so uplifting that a person possessing
them always feels self-contentment and perpetual quiet.
An extra-ordinary change takes
place in the general attitude of a Gayatri Sadhak. On account of development of
prudence, true knowledge and ritambhara intellect, suffering due to ignorance
are eliminated. Everybody has to face difficult circumstances due to destiny
and as an essential outcome of his own deeds. Whereas, an ignorant and
unrefined person feels suffocating pain and suffering on account of loss,
bereavement, disease, violence, opposition, shock etc. a Gayatri Sadhak endowed
with spiritual discernment and faith meets these adversities with perfect
equanimity. He remains in blissful peace even in adversity.
Besides worldly benefits, a
Gayatri Sadhak acquires spiritual gifts. Several people entangled in great difficulties
like disease, weakness, unemployment, family quarrels, litigation, violence,
absence of conjugal happiness, instability and weakness of mind, daughter's
marriage, apprehension about the future, fear of not getting success in
examination, bondage to evil habits etc. have been able to overcome such
challenges by Gayatri Sadhana.
At the root of all difficulties
lie some attitudinal flaws. With the growth of virtues there is change in one's
food, habits, daily routine, outlook and nature. This change becomes the key
for removing such flaws and establishing happiness and peace. Many a times our
desires, cravings and passions are such that they are not in keeping with our
worth and circumstances. With purification of mind a prudent man abandons
delusions and stops becoming needlessly unhappy. Ordinary people weep and cry
when they face calamity due to unavoidable destiny but a Gayatri Sadhak, on
account of his increased spiritual awareness, faces them calmly.
Gayatri Sadhana is also performed
averting a particular crisis and fulfilling specific needs. The results are
often astonishing. It has been observed that where utter darkness, failure,
apprehension and fear prevailed, a divine light emerged, hopelessness was
transformed into hopefulness and difficult tasks become easy by the grace of
Vedmata. Having seen several such instances, it has become my firm belief that
Gayatri Sadhana is never in vain.
Gayatri Sadhana is a sure spiritual technique
for developing latent spiritual powers. Many people practice wrestling and do
physical exercise to win a wrestling bout. If per chance a person loses a
wrestling bout it should not be considered that his efforts have been wasted.
Such a practice strengthens his physique and he gets its advantage throughout
his life. Good health, vibrancy, longevity, capacity to do hard work, marital
happiness, good progeny, fearlessness from enemies and similar other advantages
are in no way inferior to winning a wrestling bout. If due to destiny a
specific purpose is not fulfilled by Sadhana it is certain that immense
advantage has accursed to the Sadhak in terms of his inner soul growth.
Soul is the repository of
countless divine powers (riddhi-siddhi). The immortal soul, which is
the prince of Omnipotent God-head, possesses all His divine powers. But just as
a live charcoal covered with and becomes dimmed so also, due to internal
impurities, the light of the soul becomes dimmed. By Gayatri Sadhana the dark
dense covering of impurities gets removed and the soul of the Sadhak manifests
with divine powers (Riddhi-Siddhi) and shines brilliantly with Brahmatej. A
Gayatri Sadhak attains high goals with little effort, which the yogis attain
with difficult prolonged Tapasya.
This effect of Gayatri Sadhana is
seen from time to time even in the present day. During the last fifty or
hundred years, hundreds of persons have achieved wonderful results by Gayatri
Sadhana and have made their lives so elevated, that thousands of people have
received inspiration from them. Gaya tri Sadhana has the capacity of uplifting
the soul to great spiritual heights.
In the ancient times, eminent
seer had undergone great penance and performed yog-sadhana and had achieved
Riddhi-Siddhi like anima, mahima etc. the basis of which was Gayatri Sadhana.
Ancient scriptures are full of descriptions of miraculous powers which they
possessed. Such illumined souls are present even today and they are of the view
that there is no other as sure and easy a way of achieving success in yog-marg
as Gayatri Sadhana. All the emperors of virtue of Suryavansh and Chandravansh
were worshippers of Gayatri. By virtue of this divine power, Brahmans were
called Jagatgurus and Kshtriyas as emperors. This is an eternal truth and is as
effective now as it was in the past. No one who takes refuge in Gayatri Mata
with devotion is ever disappointed.
