G A Y T R I ----------------- MANTRA

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees and Saadhaks.

" NA GAAYATRI PARAMAH MANTRA , NA MATHRU PARA DYVATHAM "

" No Mantra is superior to Gayatri and no Goddess other than our mother exists "

Gayatri is also called Savitri. Savitri =Daughter of Savithru (Sun)

The Mantra has 24 letters- the significance of 24 is not clearly understood

(by me), And I am curious to know.

Sun is the only source of energy SHAKTI for humans,animals and plants. Suns

energy can become Light,Heat ,Electricity,or any other Shakti we can think of.

So reciting Gayatri pleases the SHAKTI.

Humans who recite Gayatri get great strength to overcome any difficulty. and

also get the COSMIC BLISS.

The sound caused by Gallaxy rotating @ a speed of 20k miles/second must be

COSMIC . It can not be heared by human ears but Sages said it sounds like

OHM

AUM

OM

I also want to know the correct phonetic sound of OM.

Kindly enlighten me.

yours devotedly

ijswamy

Dear Saadhakas

 

I always thought the significant numbers were 27, 54 & 108.... but Im

not sure why. Does anyone else know? (If not, I can ask my chanting

teacher when I see him next week.)

 

With love

Dear J. Swamyji,

 

Namaste!

 

The pronounciation of laghu (brevity) mantra can be chanted in two

ways. The first is reciting Auuuummmmm and second is you should

split the mantra into three section AaaaaaOoooooMmmmmm. Both are

correct but emphasis should be to inhale complete yogic breath which

means you fill your abdominal part (though strictly speaking the air

does not enter the stomach but you do stimulate the diaphragm) about

one third, then fill mid chest 1/3rd and upper clavicular regional

with one third air and instead of breathing out - recite the aum

mantra in either of the two ways mentioned above. For starters

recite the aum mantra for a count of 11 only and once you get a hang

of it slowly increase the number. Some say one should recite aum

mantra for 108 times while some say not to exceed more than 21 times

as it generates lot of heat in the body therefore at the end of aum

recitation one should say AUM SHANTI SHANTI SHANTHI..... three times.

 

The gayathri mantra has 24 letters and therefore if one wishes to do

PURASHCHARAN one should chant 24 lakhs time to represent one lakh for

each syllable. My assumption is 3 represents BRAHMA, 6 represents

VISHNU and 9 represents SHIVA. When mantra 24 is added it becomes

2+4=6 representing Vishnu the SUSTAINER. Therefore gayathri mantra

sustains the person who chants it.

 

Hope this clarifies your query.

 

With warm wishes,

Sudhakar

Hello Farahji,

 

Namaste!

 

Long time no see? Trust everything is fine with you.

Did you get to read the book AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI?

Too bad if you haven't.

 

Yeah, the significant numbers are 27, 54 and 108. The

reason being that the number of nakshatras (stars) recognised

by astrologers are 27 and therefore minimum recitation of

Gayathri mantra should be 27 and if you want to chant more then

double it and it becomes 54 and if you want further more recitation

one should double 54 which becomes 108 and all three numbers

27, 54 and 108 when added together individually becomes 9 which

represents Lord Shiva.

 

Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Hmm Sudhakarji I didnt know that.

 

But are Nakshatras the only reason? As 108 is an important number by

itself.

Dear Shantanuji,

 

Namaste!

 

There could be other reasons for 108 but i had learnt when my

upanyam was performed that it represents nakshatras therefore

minimum recitation should be 27. Further 108 when added together

becomes 9 and numerologically it is considered holy specially

9 and multiples of 9. If anyone has further explanations i would

love to know it.

Dear brother Sudhakar

 

Namaste... Im well thanks & you? Yes I have read the wonderful book

that Mr Aum sent me & now Im busy revising for the exam he promised to

set me on his return! :-O (We're all missing him, but for me the longer

he stays away, the longer I can revise!)

 

Have a look at this for some fascinating information on 108, its

brilliant....

Hello Farahji,

 

Namaste!

 

Thanks for the link. It was informative. Coming to your query on

no. 11 if my memory serves me right you had asked this question

many many moons ago and i had answered it as follows:

 

In India while gifting anyone the amount given is usually 11 or

21. It is considered auspicious - further giving 10 denoted end

and stagnation while 11 certainly represents continuity and more

to come. The number 11 when added together forms 2 in numerology

and persons born in number 2 are ruled by Moon therefore all

important transactions should be carried out by these people on

2,11,20 and 29. Besides if these dates fall on Monday it is still

better. As moon rules over pearl these people should wear preferably

BASRA PEARL embedded in silver and worn in middle or last finger on

full moon day. Do you remember this?

 

With warm wishes,

There is another point of view too. The whole universe as per

Astrology, is divided into 12 houses occupied by 9 planets. These 12

houses and 9 planets represent the effect of the whole universe on

individual life.

 

Hence 12X9 = 108 is considered a number sacred and covering the whole

life and whole universe. Having japas in the multiples of 108 means

covering/affecting the whole universe or whole life.
