Rejuvenation of Life


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.
