Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Dear friends and devotees, Bhakti is eternal. Power of Gayatri Mantra. Devotion pours through every page. It is said that when a work is written with a genuine spirit of surrender, it cannot fail to stimulate devotion in the one who reads it. The ‘Maha Brahmana’ is such a work. ‘The Glory of Gayatri’ narrates the story of king Koushika and his transformation from being a proud and haughty monarch (rajarishi) to that of a brahmarishi Viswamitra or a mahabrahmana. Unable to secure Nandini, the celestial cow gifted by the gods to sage Vasishta, Koushika was humbled in battle. He becomes an ascetic, performs rigorous austerities, is severely tested and finally emerges victorious. In his final trial, it was the solar form of Savitru that immortalized the sage by gracing him with the vision of celebrated Gayatri mantra is closely associated with Vishwamitra. According to Swami Shivananda; “Of all the mantras, the supreme and most potent power of powers in the great glorious is Gayatri mantra. It is the support of every seeker after Truth who believes in its efficacy, power and glory, be he of any caste, creed, clime or sect. It is only one’s faith and purity of heart that really count. Indeed, Gayatri is an impregnable spiritual armor, a veritable fortress, those guards and protects its votary that transforms him into the divine, and blesses him with the brilliant light of highest spiritual illumination.” What does the word Gayatri mean? According to Bhagavan Sri Sathya SAi: “Gayatri is that which protects the life breath or the senses, beginning with speech. That which saves those who sing it, reveres it, repeat it, or meditate on it is called Gayatri. Veda Mata will confer all boons on all those who worship Her.” The Gayatri symbolizes the Divine Mother; the force that sustains all creation. With love and regards, Sastry.
