Gayatri Mahima

[Guest guest]

Q.11. How can one derive maximum benefit from daily Gayatri Upasana during

mornings and evenings?

 

Ans. Regularity in morning and evening Gayatri Upasana must be strictly adhered

to. Although total involvement and concentration are essential ingredients of

Upasana, this alone is not enough. For keeping good health, one is required to

perform a minimum amount of manual labour to digest and assimilate the meals

taken during the day. Likewise, to reap the fruits of worship, it is essential

to adopt Upasana and Sadhana simultaneously.

 

To integrate Upasana, and Sadhana one is required to instill maximum degree of

faith (Nistha) in Upasana. Nistha is reflected as steadfastness in keeping one's

words and maintaining discipline and regularity in habits. Incorporation of

Nistha in Sadhana enhances steadfastness, which in turn provides strength to the

inherent power of resolution and sufficient spiritual strength. The cumulative

effect of these attributes helps and inspires the Sadhak in adopting a strict

self-discipline which is called Tapascharya. For Anusthans, these attributes are

particularly essential. If these attributes are incorporated in the day to day

routine of worship the level of Sadhana rises to that of an Anusthan.
