GAYATRI MANTRA CHANTING AND ITS CONGREGATIONAL POWER

http://www.shriramsharma.com/part_2.htm

From the viewpoint of self-purity, the method of Mantra chanting is an extremely useful scientific and intellectually satisfying solution. In Gayatri worship, the aspect of Mantra chanting is most utilized. In other methods of ritual of this worship, very little time is utilized. The time used for chanting one’s Mantra, is predominant.

The gross nature of Mantra chanting is repetition of a certain number of Mantras. It is possible to change the nature of an article by rubbing, polishing, crushing, cleaning, shining it etc. It is the miraculous result of repetition.

While cleaning utensils, they are rubbed with rough materials. When one uses a broom to clean one’s house, the act of rubbing is repeated. While washing clothes, we dip them in soap water and then repeat the acts of squeezing, hitting, rubbing the clothes. While bathing we rub our body with soap, so as to clean it. While washing our hands this is exactly what we do. In ordinary chores right from polishing our shoes upto combing our hair, we do exactly this.

This is the very method applied while using an axe, to cut wood and sand, to cut metals. One can journey for miles together by keeping on raising our feet again and again. One uses the method of repetition while rubbing sandalwood, crushing henna and massaging with oil. Repetition is seen in acts of making dough, making Rotis (Indian bread), cleaning walls and painting furniture. If we do not repeat our actions, the above mentioned tasks can never be fulfilled. So too in the act of Mantra chanting, this principle is fully made use of. When a rough rope keeps rubbing against stone, a mark is seen. Hence one must not doubt that by experimenting with a sacred method of Mantra chanting, our minds that appear rough cannot be smoothened out.

Amongst all the methods used to remove dirt, the principle of rubbing with one’s hand is predominantly utilized everywhere. The method of polishing uses certain chemicals and thus gives a shiny appearance to the article. But the other method of rubbing with the hand is no less important. One can polish metals cheaply and very well by using the method of rubbing with the hand. The machines that polish metals generally use the method of rubbing / friction. The chips of small pieces of marble are used in constructing buildings and with the help of machines and other labourers, the stones are polished by rubbing them hard. This is the miracle of rubbing with the hand. This is exactly what takes place when via Mantra chanting (Japa), the divine centers of the body and mind are dug deep into and thus unearthed. One uses the spade and axe again and again to dig wells. When one uses the hammer, one uses it repeatedly without pausing. No doubt our heart beats all the time and our breathing too is continuous, yet there are minor pauses in between. The blood circulates in the body ceaselessly. Like the clock’s pendulum, the machine called the human body, via the cycle of repetition, works on the basis of the energy generated by the repetition. In one’s life one sees the ceaseless movement of the inner bodily organs, in the form of repetition.

Like the act of rubbing, the other act is cyclic movement. Over here too energy is created. When the wheels of machines move speedily, they generate their own kind of power. The machines of electricity, engines of oil etc. are constructed in a circular manner that helps generate cyclic movement. Over here this cyclic movement is repeated again and again with speed. The stars, galaxies etc. revolve and rotate around their axis. As a result the force of attraction is generated amongst them and with this bond with other stars, galaxies etc., they hang in mid-space and attain revolutional energy and magnetic potential.

Without these it is doubtful whether they could remain steady.

Moving circularly is the miraculous attainment of wheels in various vehicles. Without this none of the machines used in traveling and other journeys can induce movement. Right from handcarts upto railway engines, machines that utilize circular movements are made use of. Just like the to and fro rubbing movement, circular movements of varying speeds, create varied amounts of energy. All are aware of this fact. In Mantra chanting words are repetitive again and again and this cyclic repeated movement, creates energy. This in turn gives us double benefits. With this benefit man gets extraordinary help, in order to radiate his visible and invisible energy centers.

When an electrical fan rotates speedily, its every rotation becomes a circle and thus when a top spins at great speed, it looks as though it is standing still. When toys made of burning gunpowder move speedily, it looks as though the movement is circular. When the pebble-sling used to shoo off birds in a field, is moved circularly with great speed it looks as though a huge wheel is moving. When the movement is ceaseless (of one type of speed), those tasks are executed, which are possible to carry out only by using machines of circular movements. The Sudarshan Chakra (disc) of Lord Krishna was extraordinary but if it refused to move, it would have remained like a lifeless disc. When there is high circular speed, it manifests a great amount of energy. One can never gauge its powers in between. When raindrops fall from clouds, it seems as though it is a line of water, but in reality this is not true because the drops are separate. When we chant a Mantra pauselessly, it not only creates movement as a result of friction, but also generates a cyclic effect. This helps in digging out layers of dirt in our mind and thus it gets purified.

A person chanting Mantras attains many benefits. This is because the ceaseless repetition of a Mantra generates energy manifesting from friction and cyclic /rotational movement.

Students of Material Science know that in the deep recesses of all the energy sources, the status of sound energy, akin to heat too is very high. No doubt the vibrations of both are different yet its powerful potential is not less at all. Behind the energy that manifests from the fuel of electricity, steam, oil, coal etc., that energy wave which is at work is the energy of sound, akin to heat energy that time and again gives us a glimpse of its intense force. The question does not arise as to which is utilized because as far as their capacity is concerned, there is no difference as far as their levels are concerned. From this standpoint the powerful waves in the form of sound energy, that work in the deep recesses of the world are not less high in stature when compared with its friends.

When consciousness conjoins with sound, its status becomes more powerful in comparison with the ordinary sound waves of the material arena. Also the spiritual aspirants’ aspirations, austerities etc are conjoined to it. High leveled streams unite with the sound potential, created via Mantra chanting. As a result its stature becomes so exalted that one cannot refrain from calling the miraculous inspiration as amazing.

Amongst all Mantras the Gayatri Mantra indeed is supreme. It appears as though in the creation of its words, the letters are interwoven on the basis of the mysterious principles of Sound Science. From the standpoint of its meaning, a prayer is uttered so as to make possible, the manifestation of Ritambhara Prajna (divine intellect) in the inner consciousness embedded in these 24 letters. This prayerful eulogy is present in the other metres (Chandas) of Shruti literature. From the standpoint of its meaning, the special quality of Gayatri cannot be said to be incomparable, but its sound inter-weaving is such, that its Mantra chanting elicits an extraordinary leveled sound flow. Its sacred results are attained not only by the Mantra chanter but that others too avail of these pious benefits. Because this Mantra chanting influences the entire environment in a useful manner, its benefits are attained by the entire world, all human beings and other creatures too.

Just as via wealth, knowledge, might etc. one can buy material comforts, so too via soul force, one can activate and utilize many energies of the subtle and gross world. There are many other means which help in radiating/ augmenting soul force but amongst all of them, Mantra chanting is the easiest and most influential method. If it can be executed via all methods, Yoga practices and penance, its results are miraculous. With its aid and soul force is created in gigantic amounts. It is this infinite soul force that converts a spiritual aspirant into a realized saint (Sidha) and with its help, many demeaned people try to advance further, sorrowful people try to overcome pain and those that are poor, try to attain material comforts.

When one method works in many places, it influences the world environment in totality. When in big cities cooking gas is lighted in virtually every home, it increases the heat in its environment. In industrialized cities / towns, many chimneys are lit up and as a result the atmosphere becomes smoky.

These are bad examples of pollution. Whenever there are fields of fragrant flowers, where there are many sandalwood trees, over there the entire region emits sweet fragrance. This is an example of goodness. If Gayatri Mantra is chanted in many places, the spiritual energy that manifests, will influence the mental state and atmosphere of people of those regions. As a result of congregational spiritual practice, the atmosphere of a widespread area gets filled with pious activities and the possibility of joy /peace augments.

In fact it is believed that congregational Gayatri worship gives greater sacred merits. No doubt individual and lone Gayatri worship too gives good results but the results of congregational worship are

extraordinary. One can easily understand the difference between a single stick of a broom and many sticks that are tied together, threads, remaining separate and their joining together to become a piece of cloth, drops of water remaining separate and their joining together to form a lake. When Gayatri devotees resolve to perform spiritual practices collectively, it gives greater benefits. Today under the aegis of the Gayatri family, lakhs of its members are carrying out collective worship and this will generate tremendous divine force. Today for neo-creation, Mahakal is using Mahakali i.e. the congregational energy , resulting from congregational worship, will ultimately lead to Era Creation. One can hopefully with faith look forward to its sacred results. Via these endeavours we will attain important aim of the creation of a bright future.
