Gayatri Sadhana

[Guest guest]

Q. 5. What are indications of progress in Sadhana?

 

Ans. After prolonged and persistent `Sadhana' with faith and dedication , the

following characteristics appear in the devotee:-

 

1. Magnetism in personality; sparkling eyes; force in speech; a glowing

countenance; gravity and stability in expression. These qualities deeply impress

everyone coming in contact with the devotee. People interacting with a devotee

of Gayatri behave in conformity with his / her wishes.

 

2. The devotee feels a new celestial energy operating from within.

 

3. The devotee progressively loses interest in improper (sinful) activities. If,

some wrong is inadvertently committed by him, he feels extremely repentant. He

neither becomes elated on favourable happenings, nor loses equanimity while

facing unfavourable circumstances.

 

4. If he curses someone on becoming deeply hurt, the adversary encounters great

misfortune.

 

5. On the other hand,, his good wishes always result in the welfare of the

concerned person.

 

6. He develops the faculty of thought reading. None can hide his shortcomings,

covert actions and motives from the penetrating gaze of a Gayatri devotee.

 

7. He can communicate telepathically with people living far away.

 

8. The environment around him is very quiet and serene. People find unusual

peace, purity and serenity in his presence.

 

9. When at the zenith of his progress, he can paranormally transfer a part of

the spiritual energy (collected by him in course of his Sadhana through

`Tapascharya'), to any deserving individual, for which the latter need not make

the required effort. This is called the process of `Shaktipat' in yoga, which

the Guru uses for grooming the best disciple as his successor.

 

10. While contemplating, during the waking hours or in course of meditation he

may see emissions of multicoloured lights, other para - normal lights or hear

celestial sounds or words.

 

These are some visible signs of progress in `Sadhana' Besides, the devotee

acquires many paranormal capabilities, which are much beyond normal human

experience, knowledge and resources.
