Dear Suresh,

Namaskar

Best time

is always during Brahma muhurta whilst facing east.

You can

chant the mantra during office hours, but you must not recite Om Bhur Bhuva

Svah. Only “tat savitur....etc”, otherwise you may anger the deity.

So please

do recite this mantra, as much as you can.

Best

wishes,

||Shri Gurubhyo Namah||

Visti and other Gurus

The following is what I was told when I was initiated

at my Upanayanam ceremony.

 

1. First things first. This is a Dhiksha Mantra and

has to be initiated by a Guru. This is normaly done at

the time of Upanayanam.

2. This mantra has results only when done along with

Sandhya Vandhanam, Which is done three times a day. ie

it is considered as a part of nitya karma for all who

practice it every day.

3. There are certain niyamas that need to be followed

such as Marjanam, Devatha argyam, Praanayama, Gayatri

aavahanam,Gayatri Mantra Japam and Gayatri upasthanam

etc.

4. These days it has become like a general mantra and

has been recited by every one. Not that I am against

it but want to know whether it yeilds any results if

only Gayatri mantra is recited w/o all other Niyamas.

Please pardon my ignorance and..

I DO NOT WANT TO START A DEBATE or OPEN A PANDORA'S

BOX.

 

The reason is People do ask for mantras and I want to

be sure before prescribing. I have resisted advise of

such mantras while suggesting to some one.

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

Pranaam,

 

Please allow myself to share my comment. This is not an argument.

Whatever content is below is just my understanding/learnings/readings

of Gäyatrï and my experience.

 

You are right that person need to be initiated to do the mantra. But

there is something beyond this also. I myself Practised Gäyatrï for

almost two and half year without any initiation. Just by a shear

experience in waking dream state eary in the morning I felt motivated

to do this and my life comletely changed. Gäyatrï pactise is the one

from which my spritual endevour started.

 

There are two things, one is The Upäsanä (devotional practice with

meditation) and other is Sädhanä (spiritual endeavor of self-

elevation) of realization of Gäyatrï are unanimously attributed by

the spiritual masters and great saintly personalities of all ages as

the perfect sources of purification, escalation and sublime

transformation of personality and life as a whole.

 

Gäyatrï Upäsana is essential for every human being because, it begins

the process of refinement at the level of sentiments and cultivation

of true virtues of humanity in every dimension of personality.

 

Does upäsanä mean only worshiping a deity performing some rituals or

uttering some prayers with or without meditation…? Certainly not.

Rituals are only some `tools' which help initial training of the ever

agile mind…. These external modes of practicing upäsanä are lifeless

without the driving force of internal devotion which inspires the

feeling of samarpana --- total sacrifice of ego, selfish desires,

self-identity --- in the limitless ocean of divine love…., in the

unlimited expansion and eternal expressions of Thou….

 

The Sädhanä of Gäyatrï is of utmost importance for spiritual

evolution as it burns out the past sins and associated intrinsic

deficiencies of the sädhaka (devotee).

 

The illusive propagations of the medieval era and the cynical

mentality of the so called masters of religion at that time had

brought all kinds of misconceptions in Indian philosophy of yore.

Whence the Gäyatrï Mantra was being described as an esoteric mantra

which can be `taught' secretly only by some special gurüs (spiritual

masters) to a special class of `deserving' devotees….

 

Commenting on the `secret initiation' of the mantra by the so

called `gurüs ', simply blow air by chanting mantra in the ears of

the devotees, while a truly noble gurü (satgurü) inspires the life

force of Gäyatrï in the inner self….". The ideal conjugation of

Gäyatrï and satgurü is like a perfect combination of Savitä--- the

subtle body of Sun God, the source of absolute prudence, eminence and

energy, and Brahaspati --- the divine gurü who guides all

manifestations of God.

 

My "Sadhana Guru" had successfully practised the highest kinds of

spiritual endeavors of Gäyatrï Upäsana. He shared his experiences

with millions of devotees and propagated the divine knowledge of

Gäyatrï in scientific light for the welfare of all beings.

 

In no case, its Upäsana and Sädhanä can ever be harmful or risky.

Every human being is free to perform Gäyatrï Upäsana. No one should

have any suspicion in this regard. Devoted pursuits of spiritual

practices always return blessed effects provided associated

disciplines (not ritualistic) are obeyed sincerely.

 

But Gäyatrï Sädhanä is more special in the sense that even in the

case of some mistake on part of the devotee, there is no possibility

of any negative effect or harm…. The divine mother always looks after

all her children with immense love and care".

 

Sincere devotion with purity of sentiments and righteousness of

character never goes wrong" quoting Lord Krishna in the holy Gita ---

 

Nehäbhikrama Näshoasti Pratyavä yo Na Vidyate |

 

Swalpamupyasya Dharmasya Trä yate Mahatobhayät ||

 

Meaning: "Dedicated endeavor commenced along the righteous path is

never lost; it continues (against all hindrances). It can never bring

negative or untoward outcomes. The truth and purity of objective

inspired by the inner self protects the serenity of the path. Such an

endeavor can not end without auspicious success……"

 

When every effort devoted to truly religious objectives protects the

devotee from severe dangers and fears….., then why should there be

any doubt about the success of the great Sädhanä of Gäyatrï which is

devoted to collective arousal of the intellect of all beings along

the righteous path…?

 

The Upäsanä of Gäyatrï can be performed daily by meditation on rising

sun and japa (rhythmic enunciation) of the Gäyatrï Mantra for a fixed

duration of time. Austerity, purity of body, thoughts and sentiments,

regularity of time and place, etc., are some simple disciplines

required to be followed here.

 

But, Mental recitation and contemplation on the Gäyatrï Mantra can be

continued throughout the day whenever and wherever calmness and

concentration of mind can be maintained naturally. Practice of the

above kind could also be pursued by writing this mantra a fixed

number of times every day.

 

I apologize if I have offended anybodys belief, sentiments and faith.

It could be because of my ignorance.

 

May divine mother bless all.

 

Pranaam

Dear Lakshman,

Namaskar

Let me see

if i can close the box.

font-family:"Bookman Old Style"">The Savitur Gayatri is; tat savitur

varenyam...etc. When one is initiated into it the beejas; “Om Bhur

Bhuva Svah” is added in the begining (and so are other beejas depending

on the guru). Then this becomes Brahma Gayatri instead and this requires

diksha.

I assumed that Suresh already had recieved the mantra.

font-family:"Bookman Old Style"">I agree.

font-family:"Bookman Old Style"">I agree.

font-family:"Bookman Old Style"">Diksha mantras come with the gurus power,

and that Guru has already attained siddhi of that mantra, hence when you

recieve it, its power is much stronger. Its always better to recieve a

mantra from a Guru who has recited the mantra, so that you don’t

have to start from scratch.

When prescribing mantras we try to prescribe Prasiddha mantras because its

said that we already have siddhi of these mantras, just be being born. If

you stick to Prasiddha mantras you will get good results. Still prasiddha

mantras give better results if recieved by one who has done the mantras

already.

Best

[Guest guest]

Thank you for your timely and valuable advise.

 

so if i chant during office hours, i will chant like this...

 

Tat saviturvarenyam

Bhargo devasya dhi mahi

Dheeyo yona prachodayath

 

is it correct? kindly correct me. Should i add "OM" before Tat savitruvarenyam?

 

But early in the morning I will chant full version starting from "Om Bhur Bhuva

Svah...... it that OK?

 

Kindly advice me

 

Thanks and regards

Dear Suresh, Namaskar

Best time is always during Brahma muhurta whilst facing east.

You can chant the mantra during office hours, but you must not recite Om Bhur

Bhuva Svah. Only “tat savitur....etc”, otherwise you may anger the deity.

So please do recite this mantra, as much as you can.

Best wishes,

[Visti] Yes. But if you haven't been given diksha of this mantra, then only add

OM in the beginning, and not "Bhur Bhuva Svah"

 

Dear Visti,

 

I was tought this whole mantra by my late Grandfather during my childhood, Can I

consider that as a diksha and recite it fully or should I delete the "Bhur Bhuva

Svah" part.

 

Regards,

Ashish

Dear Ashish,

Namaskar

I would have

asked your grandfather about that. Still, please recite the mantra as it was

taught to you. Better to recite, than not to recite.

Dear Visti & Ajith

thanks for the clarifications. I apologise for the

late response as I was taking part in a Maha rudram

function here and was busy this week. It was a 2 day

affair and with blessings from sringeri Mutt Acharya

the function was performed culminatingin a Purna

Ahuti.

It was my first experience and I learned namakam &

Chamakam from my Teacher in the last month and was

practising.The feelings when the Homam was done is un

explainable. On the whole it was a satisfying

experience.

 

Any how thanks for the explanations and one more thing

before I close this mail. It was emphasised that

Sandhya vandhanam coupled with Gayatri is a powerful

mantra.

 

Thanks onca again to you both for the clarifications.
