Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 24 letters of the Gayatri Mantra The following table gives the 24 letters of the Gayatri spell and its relation to the power. 1. tat tapini fruitfulness 2. sa saphalata valour 3. vi visshwa perseverance 4. tur tushti welfare 5. va varada yoga 6. re revati love 7. ni sukshma wealth 8. yam jnana lustre 9. bhar bharga protection 10. go gomati wisdom 11. de devika subjugation 12. va varahi allegiance 13. sya simhani determination 14. dhi dhyana life 15. ma maryada time 16. hi sphutaa penance 17. dhi medha forecast 18. yo yogamaya alertness 19. yo yogini production 20. na dhanin protection 21. pra prabhava idealism 22. cho ushma adventure 23. da drishya discrimination 24. at niranjana service The 24 powers of Gayatri mentioned above awaken in the sadhak certain qualities, and along with this awakening he starts getting success and prosperity i.e., siddhi. Many feel that these benefits are showered by some God or Goddess. They do not realize the development of the subtle force in themselves. If they are able to know the subtle force working in them, they will realize that such benefits do not accrue of their own accord and that all of them are the results of the interplay of spiritual forces in them. Gayatri sadhana or upasana is not blind faith, but a scientific process whose development and progress are sure to yield to desired fruits. Gayatri is the adi shakti (the prime force). With this force both sentient and insentient worlds (life and matter) derive their movement (gati) or force or inspiration, and result is development and progress. Just as one can easily hear any broadcast from any station by just tuning a knob, similarly, one can establish one's contact through one's spiritual powers with the subtle, all pervading Gayatri. One can use one's own spiritual power for attainment of all or a particular benefit-material, psychological or spiritual. This is sadhana. A sincere devotee with a weak determination faces many odds; even the easiest course becomes very difficult for him. It is just like cold, which enhances the strength of the strong but weakens the spirit of the weak and makes them suffer with pneumonia etc. In other words, the principal which becomes fatal to the weak, become energizing to the strong and determined. The weak sheep is devoured by the wild beasts and even eaten by men, but the lion is adored not only by the wild beast and animals but even by the strongest emperors who wear it as an insignia on their person. A man suffers from sorrow for three reasons viz., lack of power or ability, greed for a thing, and ignorance or lack of knowledge. If he does not possess certain things, say food, clothing, water, shelter, land servants, friends wealth, medicine, books weapons, etc., he faces many difficulties and may feel depressed. Because, he fails to act at the right moment, he suffers endlessly and opportunities rarely to him. Gayatri is the desire-yielding cow (kamadhenu) . One who recites Gayatri and engages one self in her sadhana is blessed by Mother Gayatri. He remains outside the purview of ignorance, incapacity and want of things and gets the desired things.
