EVOLUTION OF VARIOUS FORCES VIA SAVITA-MEDITATION
http://shriramsharma.com/books.htm
The sun is said to be the creator of visible nature. In the same way the sun is the creator of our bodies. It is in the navel. That navel which is not given due importance by modern doctors and scientists, has been given a lot of importance in Indian Yogic scriptures. During pregnancy a mother is bound to the baby in her womb via the navel and via the navel (umbilical chord) the child gets nourished. The navel spreads out in the entire body. Every spiritual practice (Sadhana) that activates our subtle vision first activates the navel. A Kundalini spiritual seeker too has to initially practice Pranayams (Yogic breathing methods) called Anulom / Vilom and Suryabhedan. Patanjali in his Yogic text says – by focusing the mind on the navel plexus one attains wisdom of gross objects in the body. Western scientists call it solar plexus, yet their knowledge regarding it is very minimal.
“He who meditates on the fire that dwells in the navel becomes radiant, brilliant and one whose hunger in the stomach augments. He attains a long life. He begets many children, attains a lot of wealth and name and fame. It is a rule that never spit and eat while facing fire.”

CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD
YOGA VASHISHTHA (6/1/81/63-64) believes that the sun of the navel is the gateway to Kundalini Shakti or Divine Serpent Power. Further details are as follows –
“O Rama! In the stomach region of this machine called the human body, near the navel, masses of flesh shiver (the sun too is a shivering plasma or fire). Further Kundalini Shakti that dwells between water that flows upwards and downwards is like a necklace of pearls in an ordinary pouch.�
The precepts of Yogic Sciences is as factual as it is amazing. Indian Yogis had discovered this energy center which converted matter into energy. (This was when Weterners did not even know what energy was). Generally this energy is very latent and in an ignored state. Due to excess food intake it gets depleted too. As against this if this wastage is obstructed, extraordinary tasks can be executed. This can be directly seen in the lives of many individuals.
Ordinarily the stomach of a human being is said to have the capacity to digest only fruits, flowers, grains and juices. If there was the question of digesting iron, one would need the heat found in atomic energy reactors. If a person is capable of digesting venom that is as solid as steel and poisonous as cyanide, without the help of any external material, machine etc., it proves that his stomach does contain a blazing pyre of fire. In the past there have been many extraordinary instances. There is no need to give details regarding this as of now.
What we are trying to say is that man has so much extraordinary potential within him that he can become the master of many forces. Solar based spiritual practices have proved to be of great help in manifesting these forces. Via Gayatri Meditation, when one establishes a bond between the visible sun in the external world and the sun present in the navel of our body, one can manifest extraordinary capacity in the form of divine forces. http://shriramsharma.com/books.htm
Gayatri is said to have 5 faces. All the icons are symbolic and behind them lie special inspirations. The 5 faces of Gayatri point out to the fact that the human body is made up of 5 sheaths. Each sheath is akin to an infinite vault of jewels. Majority of world humanity takes help only of the preliminary stage i.e. the Food Sheath (physical body) and attains a few material comforts. The intellect of majority of individuals
is of this mediocre type. As against this if a man of discrimination activates the other 4 sheaths and makes them very powerful, he himself will become materially and spiritually very great.
These 5 sheaths can be activated only via Savitri spiritual practices. The 5 faces of Gayatri means activation of the 5 sheaths with the help of Savitri energy. Savitri is said to be white like white fire i.e. white light is her true form. On this basis one meditates on Savitri. Savitri energy overflows with light and heat akin to sun. While meditating on it one imagines a form in the middle of light. Since Savitri is the presiding deity of Savita, it too is a mass of light. One has to perforce meditate on its light. She takes a spiritual seeker towards light, from darkness and gives him special Brahmavarchas, intense Ojas and radiant Tejas (divine forms of light). Hence it is said to be one who possesses white fire.
Lotus eyes means big eyes. Amongst all flowers, lotus is big and is said to be very fortunate. The eyes see things. Lotus eyes symbolize farsightedness. Savitri worship bestows these special qualities on its devotee. It sees the spiritual seeker’s potential, thinks of the future and creates a great future for the devotee. Those facts which cannot be thought of by ordinary men with small eyes are thought of by Savitri seekers since they attain divine eyes i.e. divine wisdom. With such divine eyes a seeker not only attains material and spiritual prosperity but helps others do so too.
Scriptural scholars have described Savitri’s greatness and have said that she has 3 legs, 6 Kukshis, 5 faces and eyes that are white, fire-like and lotus shaped. Truly all these special qualities are present in this super power. Anyone who worships Savitri with deep faith and proper spiritual practices will never lack any thing in life and will never face failure both materially and spiritually.
It has already been said that Savitri’s deity is Savita. Hence it is said to be related to its presiding deity in an inseparable manner. One has to take recourse to Savita during Savitri worship because it is Savita’s energy. Energy and the bestower of energy are always conjoined to one another. Hence Gayatri / Savitri are always included in solar light.
“An intelligent devotee should meditate on Gayatri within the solar aura, in his heart and only after worship rites and meditation should he chant Mantras (Japa).”
The soul overflows with divine light which is Gayatri’s light. Radiance by becoming fire of hunger, digests our food. It gives heat and induces mobility. It bestows intelligence in the head, sentiments in the heart, radiance in one’s personality and greatness in life. This light gives us self-realization and vision of God. Just as our small eye ball helps us visualize this gigantic world, so too the supreme radiance in our soul makes us saintly. It leads us towards light from darkness.
The soul is said to be light in form. While meditating the soul is always visualized as divine light. Selfrealization means visualizing this divine light in the deep cave of the soul. Idols and icons with names and forms are merely photographs of our imagination. It helps us only so far as bestowing maturity / ripening of our meditation / concentration is concerned. In higher stages of meditation one has to take help of divine light. It is spiritual fire of wisdom. It is called Aditya, divine aura and Akhand Jyoti. The more one attains this divine light, the more he becomes one with Almighty God and Savita deity. It is the flame of light in all inert-conscious objects of the world and thus divine powers and the 5 elements are able to function aptly. This light twinkles in galaxies, planets etc. Our well-being is solely dependent on merging with this divine light.
Thousands of Vedic Mantras describe and euologize fire. This fire is not that found in cooking gas but is that divine radiant light which illumines and influences the microcosm (Creatures) and macrocosm (God or cosmic soul). It is Fire of Yajna. As Vaishwanar, it is worshipped as Aditya and Savita. This divine brilliance dwells in fire and the sun too. Hence it is looked upon as being separate despite dwelling in them.
“He is our Inner Witness (God) who despite dwelling in fire is separate from it, Whose body is fire, and Who controls fire by dwelling in fire.” http://shriramsharma.com/books.htm

SHRUTI
Savita, the deity of Savitri, is not the one that rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is merely a symbol. The sun is the covering layer and Savita is its soul. Savita creates light, living beings, awakening and energy. No doubt the visible sun possesses these very qualities, yet the inspirers and establishers of these special qualities within our soul is none other than God Himself as Savita. Savitri energy is conjoined to it. Both are mutually bound to one another. Each one’s function is dependent on the others’ function. One is God and the other is Goddess. Both are inseparable like 2 bodies and one soul.
Savita helps us attain God via Savitri/ Gayatri. It is only a mother who can introduce her child to its father. If the medium viz. mother did not exist this would not happen. In the same way without the intervention of Gayatri Super Power, the soul can never attain the great fortune of becoming a Prince in the Lord’s cosmos and becoming the rightful heir of His grandeur.
This precept has been further elucidated in the Upanishads with examples as given below –
“Who is Savita and Savitri? The answer is fire is Savita and earth is Savitri. Deity of water is Savita and water is Savitri. Wind is Savita and space is Savitri. Yajna is Savita and Richa is Savitri. Clouds are Savita and lightning is Savitri. The sun is Savita and interstellar space is Savitri. Moon is Savita and stars are
Savitri. Mind is Savita and sentiments is Savitri. That wise individual who realizes this all-pervasive, radiant Savita is indeed glorified. One attains Moksha (spiritual liberation) only via Savitri.”
http://shriramsharma.com/books.htm
In the form of questions and answers the above Mantras have described Savitri’s inner nature. A spiritual seeker’s questions have been answered by giving examples of the relationship between Savita and Savitri. Water is visible material and Varuna is its soul i.e. presiding energy. Wind dwells in space. If space did not exist, where would wind dwell? If there were no wind, what would be the utility of space? In the same way Aditya depends on earth.
The Mantras are large. It has examples of many pairs which induces a spiritual seeker to imbibe the fact that Gayatri is the medium via which one attains the goal of life i.e. Almighty God. If a devotee truly wishes to attain God, attain the divine state, merge into God, attain liberation and true Brahminhood, he must seek help of Savitri / Gayatri who is the presiding Goddess of Brahmavarchas (divine light).
