Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 As yoou all know that we already started chanting Gayatri mantra once a month on Poornima day which is 108 times - now is this addition to that we will be doing world over? it is good idea no doubt but for any specific day we will be chanting- Now as I started with Gayatri mantra last week talking about glories and splendour of Gayatri this week also by grace of Swami I will talk about Gayatri too. To begin with The Gayatri is a universal prayer which can be used by men and women of all races and creeds, for it calls upon the Supreme Intelligence that is immanent (throughout) the universe to arouse, awaken and strengthen human intelligence, so that it may lead one through spiritual effort and activities to success. It does not ask for mercy or pardon, but asks for a clear intellect (Buddhi) so that Truth may be reflected therein without distortion. Swami said that by repeating this maha mantra we will reach the state of fulfillment, a sense of feeling that we have achieved something. Benefits of Gayatri I will mention some for this week- 1 .Gayathri is Annapoorani. In the home where She is worshipped, the family will not wail for food or shelter. 2. Regular chanting of the Gayatri Mantra dilutes the gloom in the family and throws light and new hope, and destroys all illustions. 3.Gayatri is the embodiment of Tri-Devata, that is, Saraswathi, Durga, and Lakshmi and hence the blessings from them grant deeper intellect, better prosperity, and easier automatic relief of family, social and other problems respectively. 4. If the mantra is chanted before taking food, all diseases of the stomach are removed. Gayatri protects from harm, whereever we are, in a bus, car, railway, or aircraft, in a bazzar or on the road. The potential Energy emanating from the entire cosmos is called Gayatri. Meditation on the Gayatri Mantra burns away all the layers of impurities covering the mind, accumulated through countless births, and bestows upon you the vision of Supreme Consciousness. All of wisdom, knowledge, and the entire Vedas are well concealed in these twenty-four seed syllables. Perhaps a whole lifetime is not enough to realize the hidden divine truths of any one of these seed syllables. While we may have many kinds of bodyguards in the external world, we should never forget that the greatest and most important protection is that of Jagan Mata, Mother of the Universe. The repetition of the Gayatri Mantra with intense devotion and faith gives the seeker divine protection. So much for now I will update more by Swami's grace most probably by end of this week as I will be going to Holy India next week to attend Swami's birthday. May Swami Bless us all.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Sai Ram, I recall years ago when Swamy released the Gayatri mantra to the women. As I recall it was a prayer that was given only to male devotees after the end of an initiation. Some of the older male devotees were taken aback at this prayer given to women, but Swamy said that in this Kali Juga everyone needs the benefit of the Gayatri.
