THE VISIBLE RESULTS OF GAYATRI MEDITATION/DEVOTION by Ashok Rawal

THE VISIBLE RESULTS OF GAYATRI MEDITATION/DEVOTION

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

There are many forms of spiritual practices apart from Gayatri which give results only after the practices are completed totally. Meaning even if for example 90% of the practices are completed the results will not be seen because 10% yet remain incomplete. In fact sometimes incomplete spiritual endeavors can cause harm too to its follower. As against this Gayatri practices immediately start influencing the gross, subtle and causal body of its devotee and thus many material and spiritual benefits start manifesting relatively early and speedily. In the following paragraphs we will give such examples which will prove that there are so many benefits attained via Gayatri meditation which would under ordinary circumstances prove impossible to achieve.

ATTAINING A VERY POTENT SOUL FORCE/WILL POWER

An unbearable digestive disease created an intense fear of death in my mind. Gayatri devotion ensured that this disease and fear did not dare to even think of attacking me. Hence I firmly resolved to help make others aware in this world about the greatness of Gayatri Super Power which can give us total fearlessness. I commenced this sacred task in 1972 A.D. up till 1977 A.D. and every year this endeavor would take gigantic leaps forward. But a year later I faced such situations that my sacred mission virtually came to a grinding halt. Hence I again beseeched Mother Gayatri to pour her divine grace on my mission and thus my soul force augmented n-fold. My magazine too which spread the holy message of Gayatri meditation was now read by twice the number of people who previously subscribed to it.

END OF THE TRADITION OF SACRIFICIAL SLAUGHTER

This incident took place in Anvagadh Naikee village (India). Once I got the sacred opportunity of performing a Gayatri Anushthan (religious program). No doubt Mother Gayatri has pulled me out of very dire situations but this time I resolved not to pray for any personal gain. The problem was that among descendents of a royal family of past there was an unwholesome tradition of offering sacrifices to Mother Durga. During one such ritual I prayed intensely to the Goddess: O Mother! Why do you accept such heinous slaughters offered to you in the name of sacrifice (Bali)? Please end this terrible tradition. The 8th day (Durga Ashtami) dawned and amazingly everyone was witness to the fact that not only on that auspicious day but forever this sacrificial slaughter tradition was banned totally in this ex-royal family. My faith in Mother Gayatri became unswerving because clearly it was her potent energy that brought about the above desirable transformation.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NIGHT AND DAYLIGHT

Due to poverty I could not continue further studies after matriculation. I got a very minor job in one of the Tata companies with a meager salary of Rs 15 per month. At that time I met revered Gurudeva (author) and under his sacred guidance I commenced Gayatri practices. One day I was inspired by the thought of studying further. Hence during day time I worked hard in my job and at night I pursued my educational carrier. After 4 years of hard work I got my B.A. degree and in this same company I draw a handsome salary of more than Rs 700/month.

LIBERATION FROM UNWHOLESOME ADDICTIONS AND HABITS

At a very young age I got into the bad habit of alcohol and drug addiction. I was in total despair and wondered whether there was even a remote chance of overcoming this dangerous addiction. One day I started Gayatri worship and immediately my psyche and intellect commenced self introspection. A day dawned when my will power became so strong that I succeeded in destroying the mesh of addiction that could have ruined my life absolutely. Today my mind dwells on sacred thoughts and it manifests divine sentiments in such intense measure that my limited speech fails to describe its sacred supremacy.

I ATTAINED THE STATUS OF A CHIEF

None of my ancestors in the family which I was born were literate. Somehow I managed to clear the 4th standard. But since I was in the agricultural profession education was of no use or importance for me. Following is an incident that took place in 1957 A.D. I came in contact with the International Gayatri Family during a 1000 pyre Gayatri Yajna held in Mathura (U.P., India). My faith in Gayatri deepened tremendously and hence I started worshiping Gayatri on a regular footing.

A year later on the day exactly I had commenced Gayatri devotion, I got a very inspiring thought i.e. instead of wasting my precious human life in merely amassing transient material pleasures and procreating children I should aspire to transform and elevate my character and intellectual capabilities via higher education. Thus I started studying regularly on a daily basis for 2 hours in the morning and evening. My village neighbors mocked my sincere efforts and taunted thus: Look at that aged parrot! He has commenced ‘studies’! And yet this old parrot succeeded in his educational endeavor. First I passed primary school and then high school where I secured a top rank in a privately held exam. In that very year village elections were held and those very people who previously mocked at me now elected me as their chief unanimously devoid of any opposition candidate. As a result others too commenced Gayatri devotion with faith. I humbly feel all this was possible only because of Holy Mother Gayatri’s blessings.

I then resolved to educate each and every member of my village. As a result for the past 5 years a school for the aged is running with great success. Up till now thousands of people have been inspired to aspire for the divine wisdom of Gayatri. I am all the time striving for paying off my holy debt to compassionate Gayatri in this very life time by spreading her divine wisdom to one and all.

SOUL PEACE ATTAINED VIA SOUL EXPERIENCES OF DIVINITY

It is only after I commenced Gayatri devotion that I got help while encountering family and personal problems. Despite this for me all these attainments are minor. During that period when I performed Gayatri practices I felt the presence of such divine light in my soul which is not possible to see with our

limited gross eye sight. When my meditative state ended my gross body experienced a fair bit of heat. Later this heat would be transformed into zest, zeal, joy and nectarine love for all. All these experiences give untold bliss and serenity of mind.

------------------Jagdish Prasad Vishwakarma, Durg (India)

AT LAST I ATTAINED A COOL SHADE (SPIRITUAL)

I shudder to even reminisce my past 17 years which were full of straying in the direction of fleeting sense pleasures which resulted in nothing but strife in the long run. After this when I commenced Gayatri meditation no doubt I did not come across any â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;miraclesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; yet my soul exuded with so much energy, valor and fearlessness that in comparison all material gains seem naught and useless in the absolute sense. All my material selfishness has been converted into spiritual selflessness. Now my ultimate goal is to humbly draw others too to this sacred wisdom of Gayatri and thus attain the true goal of life.

-------------------M.R.Bharadwaj, Guna (M.P., India)

NOW I HAVE NO MORE DESIRES TO ATTAIN ANYTHING

When even after 10 years of married life I failed to beget a child my family members started ignoring me. One day in anguish I cried to Mother Gayatri and said: I don’t mind even if you give me just one daughter because that is better than remaining childless which is a taint in my life. Exactly after 9 months I gave birth to a daughter and thus my family life became more peaceful. No doubt problems of various kinds do raise their hood now and then but due to Mother Gayatri’s blessings we get enough energy to ward them off.

MY LIFE AND TRUTH HAVE MERGED INTO ONE ANOTHER

About 2 years had elapsed since I commenced Gayatri devotion and I experienced mysterious movements in my soul. Despite being married I abstained from conjugal bliss (Brahmacharya) for 1 year. During this 1 year my spiritual experiences were that much more blissful. In the waking state I heard divine sound, divine scenes in the dream state and all this became a part and parcel of my life. As a result 2 precious jewels became mine viz. faith in immortality of our soul and soul bliss. I feel that divine truth has merged into my life totally. If only I could ‘show’ my inner divine state to others at a gross level maybe hundreds would seek Gayatri’s holy grace.

---------------Advocate Badeelal Swarnakar, Narsinha Gadha (India)

MAY I NEVER ERR AGAIN

Many may have read or heard about Gayatri meditation helping its devotee create a bond with Savitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prana (vital force). As far as I am concerned I have actually experienced this sacred bond within. In those days I clearly visualized a divine Purusha which manifested untold divine ecstasy in my soul (Ahlaad). But alas! I misused this divine energy due to some hidden unwholesome desires present in my psyche. One day I realized my serious folly but all was lost. And yet what does one gain by mere lip service repentance?

Hence I have again commenced to walk towards my true goal. Now I am focusing on mental control so that in future I do not misuse divine light that manifests in the psyche of a true devotee.

--------------------Gokul Prasad Tripathi, Narsinha Gadha (M.P., India)

JOY WHILE CHANTING MANTRAS (Japa)

I experience divine bliss and ecstasy while undergoing Gayatri practices. While performing practices to strengthen and sanctify the Pranas I actually feel Gurudeva (author) to be by my side albeit subtly.

------------------Ramswarup Tiwari, Kota (India)

MOTHER GAYATRI SAVED ME

I am a doctor by profession and yet because of regular Gayatri meditation my life is slowly but surely being subtly guided towards sainthood. Once in my dream Mother Gayatri commanded me to remove one person who was working for me from his job. This command hounded me a lot and ultimately I acted accordingly. Later I came to know that this person was planning cunningly to ruin my family life. Truly the compassionate Mother rescued me from dire consequences.

MY DOUBTS VANISHED AND FAITH BECAME STEADFAST

My revered husband off and on visited Shantikunj, Haridwar, India. As a result doubts cropped up in my mind that lest he gave up his family life and donned the ochre robe our marital bliss would end. Inwardly I experienced anguish because of this serious doubt. And yet one day when I too visited Shantikunj all my doubts disappeared and I realized that it was I who was erring and not my beloved husband. I felt very bad that it was I who was the cause of my mental agony. Today agony has been totally replaced by firm faith in Mother Gayatri and I humbly try and inspire others too to seek her compassionate grace.

INVISIBLE HELP AND AID

A Gayatri Family member called Mr. Bhagirath Prasad Gaur (Balagav village) was very much keen on setting up a branch of Gayatri Family in his village. Hence a Gayatri Yajna (fire sacrifice) and spiritual discourse program was planned. But I was worried whether the speaker was capable enough or not because if not then the villagers would shy away from this program. At that time I got a letter from an organizer from Sirali village saying Mr. Vasudev would be the speaker. To an extent my worry diminished.

Mr. Vasudev arrived and throughout the day we discussed important matters. At night in my dreams I visualized something extraordinary wherein in a very clean and white house our Gurudeva was standing. I asked him: Sir, how come you are here? He answered: I desire that you yourself take over the reins of this program. Do not worry because I am by your side. Immediately I awoke and woke up Vasudevji too. We both left for Balagav village and what we saw there left us dumbstruck. It was the same house which I saw in my dream where the program was planned to take place. Deep faith manifested in my mind. In a short while 2 more helpers arrived from villages called Harda and Pirli. The program was so successful that those who were scheming to spoil it culd not even take one step in that direction. Today this region has 5 branches of the International Gayatri Family. We have already conducted a 9-pyre Yajna and worship of Dev Kanyas. Should one be wonderstruck that Holy Mother can even pursue a lame man to climb a mountain?

LIBERATION FROM BODILY PAIN

For a long time I had to be hospitalized and visit clinics and yet instead of overcoming ill health I got entwined in them more and more. No one could tell me what exactly, was the nature of my disease. I was thus mentally sinking in gloom and depression. Up till the year 1965 this illness persisted and I spent a few thousand rupees for its cure. In despair I wondered whether I was attacked by ghosts and evil spirits. Ultimately I came in contact with Gayatri Tapobhumi in Mathura, India. There I commenced Gayatri meditation and lo behold, my illness was cured. I am indeed blessed to contact this Divine Super Power called Gayatri. Now I have joint this mission and am selflessly working for its noble cause.

------------------Gopal Lal Somani, Mandalgadh (U.P., India)

SPIRITUAL PRACTICES BESTOW ENTERPRISE AND VALOR

After undergoing a spiritual program of Brahmavarchas Chandrayan my disarrayed mental state got transformed into equanimity and poise. Further so much zeal and zest manifested in my soul that today I am encouraging other rural women to perform Gayatri rituals. Even if I have to go for a few miles away from my residence no fear exists in my psyche. Every moment I feel protected by Divine Mother Gayatri.

-----------------Lakshmibai, Bhatgav (M.P., India)

SUCCESS AND NOTHING BUT SUCCESS EVERYWHERE

It is my great fortune that from the very beginning Mother Gayatri came compassionately in my life and blessing it. It is her divine grace that helped me pass exams with flying colors. Although I played an important role in student welfare organizations I was saved from dirty politics by Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace. I yearn to place such examples of integrity and ethics that others too are motivated to follow suit.

-----------------C. Lal Nema, Khandwa (India)

EXPERIENCES OF BRAHMAVARCHAS

My spiritual vow of Chanrayan Vrata gave me untold gains. I cannot forget those days. Initially I became physically weak because this vow involved decreasing food intake on a daily basis. But on the final day not only did this weakness disappear but other bodily problems too were overcome. Apart from this the most important benefits of divine soul experiences and mental focus came my way.

-------------------Narayan Gulab Chand, Banswal (India)

I WON A COURT CASE

Some of my professional colleagues connived and slapped a law suit on me. They did so because these officers could not act according to their whims and fancies since I opposed such misdeeds. I spoke to Gurudeva and he said: Son! Have faith in that divinity which made you a man of good character. I too am by your side.

A stage came during court proceedings when the arguments of my opponents were so shrewd and cunning that things seemed totally against my favor. And yet in the final stage my attorney gave some wonderful arguments which now totally tilted the case in my favor. Thus the court set me free from those malicious allegations. There have been many other such incidences where Divine Mother has protected me fully.

LIBERATION FROM ASTHMA

I suffered from intense Asthma for 20 years despite taking regular medical treatment. My life became a huge burden for me and was sure that any moment death would engulf me. At that time an acquaintance introduced me to revered Gurudeva who asked me to perform Gayatri worship. I regularly meditated on Gayatri and performed weekly Gayatri Yajnas. I experienced so much bliss while meditating that I completely forgot the pain of Asthma. It was sheer grace of Gayatri that I ultimately was cured of Asthma and attained mental peace and contentment.

-----------------Shivkumar Khare, Kanikot (India)

HARDSHIPS DESTROYED DUE TO MOTHER GAYATRIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BLESSINGS

The world over human life is such that every individual faces some problem or the other. Some face hardships with calmness and smilingly and the rest with loud wails of anguish. A Gayatri devotee manifests such a strong will power that it is relatively easy for him/her to overcome trying times. In many cases such solutions come their way which can be labeled nothing short of a miracle.

REGAINING LOST JOY AND PEACE

I had lost my job. I had no other income to take care of my expenses. All my friends turned away from me and thus I was faced with a gloomy situation. Hence life was nothing but depression for me. Under such dire straits I came in contact with Gurudeva and he helped my boat of hardships reach the shore of peace and joy. This shore was none other than blessings of mother Gayatri. Thus my withered life was transformed into lush greenery of peace and bliss. I got back my job and thus my family life too attained joy.

----------------Hari Krishna Sharma Mau, Bhind (M.P., India)

I OVERCAME FINANCIAL PROBLEMS

Even after completing studies I was jobless. My family income was very meager. Other Gayatri devotees urged me to worship Gayatri. I commenced Gayatri meditation and also had holy Darshan of Gurudeva. Gurudeva heard my problem and gave me solace. As per his sage counsel I commenced Gayatri devotion and within 8 days I witnessed its positive result. I landed a job in Kathlal and my worries were dispelled. Today I worship Gayatri steadfastly and also have volunteered my services for this sacred mission. I have succeeded in inspiring many to worship Gayatri for both material and spiritual prosperity.

---------------Bhanuprasad Chimanlal Dave, Kathlal kheda (Gujarat,India)

REGAINED MY LOST JOB

Due to some government changes both me and my son simultaneously lost our jobs. There was no income to meet our family expenses. It was Gurudevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiration that made me commence Gayatri meditation and thus I started re-applying for the lost job. If Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holy grace is on us everyone one in the world too will rush to our aid. Government authorities accepted my fresh application and thus I regained my lost job.

--------------Lekharam Khare, Dhangwa Hamirpur (U.P.,India)

PASSED EXAMS WITH SUCCESS

My son Narayan sat for an exam set by the government for rural people. There were very faint chances of passing this exam yet because of Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace my son succeeded.

-------------Renudharrai, Paudainyahat (Bihar,India)

JUDGEMENT IN MY FAVOR

I was working for Indian Railways. I had complained to the concerned officials about harassment faced while on duty. This case was later heard in the Patna High Court. The plea of senior officials against me was dismissed by the court and thus the judgment came in my favor. Further I was also promoted. Initially I was unsure of winning the court case but who can oppose a devotee who has surrendered to Mother Gayatri? And that too a devotee who unswervingly adhered to integrity and work ethics? I have firm faith that Mother Gayatri will always protect followers of truth and honesty. There maybe delay but ultimately the darkness of falsehood definitely gets destroyed.

THE CROWD QUITENED DOWN

One day during Holi festival celebrations a young man erred which led to mob fighting. All villagers in rage came at my doorstep with sticks in their hands. This terror like situation instilled untold fear in my mind and I rushed blindly to my worship altar. With tears rolling down my cheeks I begged Holy Mother to help me. I heard Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divine voice in my conscience: Go outside fearlessly and know for sure that everyone will calm down. With faith I went outside my house. Amazingly everyone was quiet and thus the terrible situation ended. From that day my faith in mother Gayatri has grown by leaps and bound. I have volunteered to help others avail the divine light of mother Gayatri by devoting themselves to her.

------------------M.P.Tiwari, Chatpara (M.P.,India)

MY LIFE SAVED IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT

I was traveling from Ambikapur by bus when we got involved in a terrible road accident. The bus overturned completely and it dragged for a few meters away. Thus it was almost impossible to escape alive. The entire bus was broken into pieces and many were injured very seriously and others died on the spot. Hence it was simply amazing that I was the only traveler who escaped with very minor injuries. At that time I clearly perceived a subtle powerful force as though it was carefully carrying me in its safe arms. Hence my faith is firm that it was Mother Gayatri that saved me from the jaws of imminent death.

-------------Vishnudatt Gupt Adhivakta, Baikunthapur (M.P.,India)

I ATE AND DIGESTED EVEN GLASS

Once when I was eating my lunch unknowingly I ate small glass pieces too along with the food. Of course when I actually realized that my meal had more tiny glass pieces I stopped eating food. All my family members were really worried at what happened. No one slept that night and instead they all meditated on Gayatri. As a result it was amazing to note that these glass pieces in my tummy did not harm me at all and thus everyone regained composure. Others who heard about this miracle too were wonderstruck.

-----------------Murlidhar Chaturvedi, Jabalpur (M.P.,India)

A LIFE SPARED IN AN ACCIDENT

I was totally incapable of getting my daughter Sushma married. I just could not find a groom for her and in addition I was not very wealthy. And yet one day her marriage was arranged very easily. At that time Sushma and her brother-in-law were to travel from Bijnor station. While climbing on to the train compartment the brother-in-law failed to clasp the door handle. The train left and he fell on the railway track. In this manner, 5 bogies of the train passed by while he was dangerously lying on the tracks. Suddenly someone in the train noticed his plight and thus pulled the emergency chain of the train. Initially everyone assumed that he was crushed mercilessly by the passing train. But lo behold! When they pulled him out of the tracks he was totally uninjured.

---------------Vedprakash Agrawal, Bijnor (U.P.,India)

SAY, WHERE SHOULD I GO, LEAVING YOUR HOLY FEET?

It was only after commencing Gayatri devotion that joy and peace manifested in my life. Firstly I completed an Anushthaan of .125 million Gayatri Mantra chanting. As a result I directly witnessed a miracle. I got a job as a compounder in a govt. hospital. My faith in Mother Gayatri intensified. I continued my spiritual endeavor with more vigor and deep faith. Within a year I got a major job promotion. One day a very close friend of mine became very angry despite the issue being very minor. He angrily flung a heavy brick at me which hit my head. Those nearby were sure that my brain would have been ripped apart. And yet all were astonished to see me uninjured and calm. Thus how can I even dream of leaving Mother Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protective holy feet? I have unswerving faith that no other force other than divinity is omnipotent.

-------------Chedilal Sharma Vaidya, Baikuthashram Khaddi (M.P.,India)

A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT APPEARS LIKE A MERE DREAM

I was returning from college. Behind and ahead of me were 2 tempos. My cycle came along side a bullock cart. Accidentally my tyre (back one) banged against the bullock cart’s wheel. Since my cycle’s balance got lost I fell on to the ground. The cycle was flung at a short distance and the tempo’s tyre ran over my leg. Thus my vision became very blurred. I could not even shout for help. My life force within, silently prayed for Mother Gayatri’s grace. I prayed fervently: Beloved Mother! If you accept that I have even an iota of faith in your divinity may my injury be very minor. The terrible nature of the accident made me unconscious. After I recovered I was told that an unknown person picked me up and took me home along with my cycle. I was immediately hospitalized. An X-ray was taken of my injured leg and thankfully the bone was not fractured. Of course there was some swelling but amazingly it was warded off in 3-4 days. This accident seems like a dream for me. If Mother Gayatri had not lovingly blessed me I would have definitely entered the jaws of death on that ill fated day.

----------------Kumari Sudha Vaishya, Ratlam (M.P.,India)

FORSEEING THE FUTURE VIA DREAMS

On certain technical grounds I was relieved from my job and was re-appointed later by the management. This event of re-appointment had been foreseen by me in a dream seen previously. Of course when I was fired from my job I was worried and hence prayed fervently for Gayatri’s grace. Later as per my dream I regained my lost job.

----------------Prabhakar Krishna Thokay, Bhilai (M.P.,India)

WAS IT AN ACCIDENT OR A MAGNET?

This is a miraculous incident of Panduka Motor Stand. Suddenly one day a 5 year old girl came running on the road. From the opposite end a speeding car was approaching in her direction. The driver failed to apply brakes of the car so suddenly. It was sheer ill fate that the girl fell on the road while the car ran over her frail body. Only at a distance of 25 feet did the car stop finally. The driver was shaken by this accident and people around were also very agitated. For a moment it appeared as though the child was pounded to pulp. And yet, what a mind boggling sight it was! Because the child not only got up but started running again. Someone picked up the girl affectionately to check for injuries but amazingly none were found. Later it was known that this child was the daughter of a very great devotee of Gayatri. Ever since, I too have started regularly worshipping Gayatri.

--------------Narayanprasad Sahu, Rajim (India)

I GOT A JOB PROMOTION

It was only after I commenced Gayatri meditation that my life transformed for the better. Further many problems in life got solved miraculously. Due to a job promotion I left Hoshangabad. This is solely due to Mother Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessings.

--------------Virendra Parihar, Hoshangabad (M.P.,India)

JOB PROMOTION DUE TO MOTHER GAYATRI’S GRACE

From the day I came in contact with Gurudeva Shriram Sharma I started regularly performing spiritual practices. I am very blessed because my life has been positively transformed. Initially I got a job in a farm based organization (Dhanva, India) for Rupees 65 a month. I also worked hard to get a promotion. In a short time span I got a job in State Bank of Indore, as a cashier. There I earned a salary of Rupees 650 per month. It is sheer Gayatri’s grace that gave me such a big promotion within 2 years. I can never repay this debt I owe to Gayatri and yet I show my gratitude by spreading Gayatri’s holy precepts to others bereft of them.

----------------Gopal Paliwal, Bhikangav (M.P.,India)

PROTECTED DURING ACCIDENTS

Certain incidents in my life egged me to pursue Gayatri worship. Once it so happened that my skirt caught fire and it was almost as though I was about to die. In another accident the rickshaw in which I was traveling banged into another car. In another incident some pick pockets robbed some cash I was carrying in my purse but to my great relief some sort of fear prompted them to drop the cash on the ground while fleeing. In all these dire situations it was Mother Gayatri who affectionately saved me. My heart oozes with ecstasy at the very thought of how much the Divine Mother loves me.

WHO CAN HURT A DEVOTEE PROTECTED BY DIVINE GRACE?

Some of the villagers where I dwelt made secret plans to kill me. It was virtually impossible to escape their demonic ploy. Under such dire circumstances I latched on to Mother Gayatri’s grace. Even Gurudeva assured protection to me. He sent me an amulet to wear for protection. Truly Mother’s grace saw to it that these villagers’ evil intention was foiled completely. I also was blessed when my wife’s deadly illness was warded off and when my lost child returned home safely. How can we think of straying away from Gayatri whose divine grace protects us each moment of our life? She is my one and only idol.

GAYATRI’S GRACE IN ATTAINING MATERIAL SUCCESS

A true Gayatri devotee actually experiences Mother Gayatri’s grace every moment in his/her life. Many have experienced this. Following are some experiences of true Gayatri devotees and Sadhaks:

SUCCESS ATTAINED VIA PREMONITIONS

I was unaware of even the course that contained the English questionnaire. Next day was the examination and I was in a quandary whether to study or attend the Gayatri Yajna scheduled for that day. Ultimately my heart voted in Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor and without worrying for my exam I attended the yajna whole heartedly. After returning home at night I fell into a deep slumber.

In the first quarter of the night I actually saw the question paper in my dreams. When I woke up I remembered all the questions. Early in the morning I studied all these questions and memorized the answers. When later I reached the exam venue I was amazed because 2 of the 5 questions were the ones seen by me in my dream the previous night. Thus this dream based premonition helped me clear my exam.

----------------Shyamsunder Saini, Sakeer (India)

MY INVISIBLE PROTECTORS: GURUDEVA AND HOLY GAYATRI

Before I met Gurudeva my mind never concentrated on serious studying. As per his advice I commenced Gayatri meditation and I was astonished by the fact that my intellectual capacity augmented by leaps

and bounds. Thus in virtually all exams I passed with flying colors. I had just completed my M.Com exams and despite the fact that results had yet to be declared I got a call for a good job. Apart from a written test I had given a viva test too which I felt was very tough. Despite this the examiners gave me a letter of appointment and I realized that it was my Gurudeva and Gayatri that had come to my aid. My M.Com results too were very good which made doubly sure that the job was definitely mine.

---------------Ashok Jani, Gondal (Gujarat, India)

I WAS SAVED FROM DROWNING

On that fateful day the river Ganga was very crowded. Enthusiastically I too descended down the river steps but the moment I dived into the river I got caught in a deadly whirlpool. When I thought I was going to get drowned I felt someone catching my hand tightly. I felt I was led to the river edge where my hand caught a chain of iron. Thus I came out of the river safely. I was totally unaware about these chains and yet Mother Gayatri in her divine way led me to one and thus saved me from an otherwise imminent death.

------------------Kishorekumar Motilal Parmar, Sabarmati (Gujarat,India)

GOT MY OWN HOME INSTEAD OF A RENTED ONE

Whenever I prayed to Holy Gayatri and revered Gurudeva I asked for only one thing and that is: Give me my own home instead of the rented house that I lived in. Despite my weak financial status Gayatri blessed me in such a way that I gave up my rented house and shifted into a house within 1 year which was on ownership basis in my name. This was possible only because by their grace I got financial aid without paying any interest.

----------------Dr.Sukhsagarlal Gupt, Pilibhit (India)

CURED OF ASTHMA

It all started with a bought of cough and common cold which ultimately was diagnosed as asthma. Despite adhering to Ayurvedic, Allopathy, Homeopathy and Naturopathy remedies my asthma remained uncured. Out of sheer helplessness I accepted that this was the dire fruit of my past unwholesome deeds and left it at that. One day I came in contact with revered Gurudeva and with his blessings I commenced Gayatri worship. It was mind blowing that my asthma which I thought would never leave me was cured in a relatively short time span. With Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace I got a second lease of life and today I am happy and mentally calm.

----------------Hemraj Sharma, Village Hardua, Reeva (M.P.,India)

I GAVE UP UNWHOLESOME ADDICTIONS

After I commenced Gayatri meditation steadfastly my previous addiction to alcohol was now totally destroyed due to Mother Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divine grace.

--------------Shivnarayan Singh Gaap Bojh (Pilibhit,India)

Mother Gayatri helped me overcome my 10 year old habit of chain smoking just as a snake gives up its old skin hook, line and sinker.

---------------Hiralal, Gram Sevak (Pilibhit,India)

MOTHER PROTECTED MY VOW

Without doubt it is not apt to conjoin Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divine power with some frail human conditions. And yet with faith whenever I have laid down certain conditions Mother Gayatri always executed them in my favor. With her grace I have seen some creatures which were declared come back to life.

--------------Omprakash Pandeya Balli Nagar (Pilibhit,India)

OVERCOMING DEATH BESTOWING PAIN

Once, I experienced intense pain in my stomach and chest and it seemed as though death was about to engulf me. At that time when I came to know about Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s omnipotent divinity I commenced worship. And lo behold, that pain which no medical specialist could cure was overcome via gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace.

MOTHER GAYATRI GAVE ME A NEW LEASE OF LIFE

My wife was operated in a Medical College of Jabalpur. Although it was a major operation my wife who too was a Gayatri devotee like me was not worrying at all. Midway during the operation her heart beats suddenly stopped. The doctors were about to declare her dead when suddenly her heart commenced beating. Later my wife told me: When the heart beats stopped and I was about to die revered Gurudeva in his subtle form was visualized by me near my bedside. Gurudeva firmly said: I will not let you die since you have yet to rear your small children. He then led me to a divine light which then subtly entered my body. Thus it appeared as though I was now awakening from deep sleep. The doctors treating her too were astounded with what had happened in front of their eyes.

--------------Ram Sevak Khangar, Jabalpur (India)

MY HEARTFELT PLEA NEVER WENT UNHEARD

There are 2 incidences in my life which made me a firm devotee of Gayatri. The first was when my husband became very ill and the second was when the doctors said that my elder married daughter would have to undergo a major operation while delivering her baby. Both times I fervently prayed to Mother Gayatri and she certainly helped me. It is her grace that has given my family both material and spiritual bliss.

-----------------Malti Sinha, Gaya (India)

LIBERATION FROM VILE PSYCHIC IMPRINTS (SANSKARS)

Before I commenced Gayatri meditation my mind was always swimming in vile, dirty and unwholesome thinking. This tainted mind manifested as a weak and diseased body (psycho-somatic). But from the day I met Gurudeva and commenced Gayatri meditation God alone knows how but all my lowly thinking disappeared into the thin air. Now my mind dwells on self advancement and other world beings too. I experience so much divine bliss while meditating that all material pleasures in comparison seem null and void.

-----------------Navinbhai Jani, Gondal (Saurashtra, India)

MY DAILY ROUTINE

After I commenced Gayatri devotion on a daily footing all my lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems and imbalances got corrected. If ever I misuse wealth, time etc my mind strongly reprimands me. Now that my life has gained optimum balance it oozes with peace and contentment.

---------------Vala Prasad, Depalpur (India)

I FOUND THE KEY THAT DESTROYS ILLNESS AND STRIFE

Faith, trust etc not only transforms our mind but also our body (psychosomatic). We humans try all available means to overcome sorrow. And yet when this endeavor proves futile we pray with faith to God (Mother Gayatri in this case). And lo behold, slowly but surely our problems get dissolved to naught. Following are some examples to prove this point:

ULTIMATELY I HAD TO SURRENDER TO MOTHER GAYATRI

My son Salikram fell ill. For 8 days in succession he went without food and did not speak one word. Many doctors examined him but it was all in vain. When my son was breathing his last I requested a Gayatri devotee in my neighborhood to pray for his life. Although this devotee refused saying that he did not have the necessary divine potential to do so yet he tried praying for Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divine intervention. Further we arranged a Gayatri Yajna and the sacred ash of the fire, was lightly applied on my dying sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scalp. Immediately my ill son got up in his bed and asked for a glass of milk. This was the first words he spoke after an 8 day gap of silence. On my part I was very much ashamed because previously a few people had asked me to commence Gayatri worship and I had refused to do so. And today that very Gayatri whom I had turned my face away from was compassionately pouring her loving grace on my beloved son. Now my inner eyes opened and have become an unswerving devotee of Holy Gayatri.

HOLY MOTHER SAVED ME

As per the dream of Mrs. Kapila Devi an accident occurred and as per that very dream my life was saved. On that fateful day I was supposed to travel from New Delhi to Jalandhar by Janta Express train and I was waiting on the platform. At that time an unknown person advised me to travel by Kashmir Mail because one could not depend on Janta Express. He felt that the latter would take a long time in reaching my destination. As per his advice I traveled by Kashmir Mail train. Next day to my wonderment I was told that Janta Express train had met with an accident while running from Delhi to Jalandhar. Six compartments of this train were powdered to pulp. And I realized that Mother Gayatri had lovingly saved

my life. Today all my family members are staunch devotees of Gayatri after undergoing this hair raising incident.

----------------Madanmohan Saraswat (Jodhpur, India)

OPERATION WAS TOTALLY SUCCESSFUL

My elder brother was having hernia problems. As a result of this illness he was in great pain. Doctors had decided to operate my brother. Since all our relatives were very anxious I was called. I gave them solace only due to Mother Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessings. Slowly the fear factor was overcome and the doctors were given consent by us for the operation. At that time all the doctors were very experienced and skillful. Hence the operation was very successful. My brother regained good health very swiftly. Of course even those highly experienced medical team were worried about the operationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outcome but after it was over they too were astonished with such positive results.

----------------Jayantilal Pandya, Gandhidham (Gujarat,India)

LIBERATION FROM INTENSE STOMACH ACHES

For 20 years continuously I suffered from stomach aches. At that time I was given various forms of treatments. A major portion of my income was used for buying medicines, tests etc. One day my friend named Sukhram spoke to me about the Gayatri Mission and thus I got inspired to commence Gayatri devotion. Divine Mother’s grace manifested and my stomach problem was warded off without any medical aid. Slowly I started saving more money because there was no need of expensive medication and thus my life became joyous and peaceful. Ever since then I am inspiring others too to surrender to Divine Gayatri. Sometimes I feel sad that some people refuse to accept divine grace’s existence despite the fact that God loves all his creatures impartially. Obviously they refuse due to the veil of spiritual ignorance in their soul.

-------------Sevakram Master Khairagad, Durg (M.P.,India)

LIBERATION FROM A DISEASE

My wife suffered from a psychiatric problem. When despite good medical aid she did not improve we started praying devotedly to Holy Gayatri. How could I return empty handed from Gayatri’s abode when none have so far been disappointed by her? With Gayatri’s divine grace the medical treatment now started giving positive results and finally my wife was cured.

---------------Banshidhar Panda (M.P.,India)

LIBERATION FROM AN ILLNESS

For quite a few years I was a patient of allergy. I was given many forms of medical aid but none gave relief. So I surrendered to Mother Gayatri. Daily with deep faith I meditated on her. Previously to my amazement the allergy became more intense after taking medicines but after commencing spiritual practices my allergy condition improved a lot despite taking very minor dosage of medicine. The attending doctor too was wonderstruck with this event. Hence my faith in the Mother of the Universe grew manifold as days passed by. How could I keep this divine grace limited only to my well being? Therefore I started inspiring others too to devote themselves to Gayatri for both material and spiritual well being.

----------------Jayant C. Patel, Baroda (Gujarat, India)

OVERCOMING DEADLY CANCER

Shardabai who worked in Badhnagarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Civil Hospital suffered from 3rd stage cancer. Hospitalization and required treatment proved futile. For 3 months this treatment was given. The cancer became so deadly that she was given radium therapy for 3 days at a stretch just to keep her alive. The doctors said that an operation was most required. Everyone feared this operation and its risks. On my part I was sure Holy Gayatri will protect her. Thus I started an Anushthan (ritual program). Call it a miracle or what you will but when the doctor conducted tests again they astonishingly said that now there was no need for an operation. The cancer disease was warded off absolutely. Everyone was truly spell bound by these incidences.

---------------Chauthmal Shrotriya, Badhnagar (M.P.,India)

LIBERATION FROM EPILEPTIC SEIZURES

When my daughter Rita was 11 years old she got an attack of fever. This fever was medically investigated. The treatment given warded off the fever but she now suffered from epilepsy which many a times appeared as though her life was at stake. All our family members were worried. In between a Gayatri devotee advised us to apply Bhasma (holy ash) of a Gayatri yajna which had been conducted. We were also asked to worship Gayatri daily with faith. We started this worship on a daily basis which gave amazing results. My daughter Rita was totally cured and ever since we have surrendered our lives to Mother’s grace.

-------------Narendrasingh, Sargav (M.P.,India)

HEALTH BENEFITS DUE TO MOTHER’S DIVINE GRACE

One of our villagers Daljit Kaur suffered from an agonizing illness. Despite excellent medical treatment there was no relief. One day I went to his house and humbly asked him to commence Gayatri worship. I requested Mataji (Gurudeva’s holy consort) to send a protective amulet for the patient. Slowly due to Gayatri’s grace he started recovering and a day came shortly when the entire illness was warded off. Today he regularly worships Holy Gayatri. He is also inspiring others to meditate on Gayatri.

--------------Kesrichand Sharma, Kulu (H.P.,India)

ILLNESS DUE TO TUMOR OVERCOMED TOTALLY

There was a tumor in my chest region. Many doctors gave me treatment but it was futile. Under Gurudevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watchful eye I commenced Gayatri devotion. And amazingly the tumor dissolved to naught. Immediately the doctors carried out various tests and they unanimously declared that indeed there was no trace of tumor in my chest.

GAYATRI DEVOTION BESTOWS MATERIAL/SPIRITUAL WELL BEING ALONG WITH WHOLESOME FAME

For the past 50 years thousands of people are performing Gayatri meditation under my (H.H.Shriram Sharmaji) guidance and protection. Daily I am told of the various experiences of Gayatri devotees as a result of Gayatri devotion. Ere I publish all these it would amount to 18 gigantic volumes. Hence in this book I am enumerating a few very important ones only for the benefit of respected readers:

FAITH CAME OUT VICTORIOUS, DRY ARGUMENTS DEFEATED

After I commenced Gayatri worship no doubt many obstacles came in my way and yet due to divine grace they were overcome. Of course at that point in time my argumentative mind refused to accept that something like divine grace ever existed.

One day my second Sudhakar’s eye was hurt and a cataract like swelling manifested. He was treated at Agra’s Sarojini Naidu Hospital. The doctors who operated his eye firmly said that this injured eye would never see again and the only hope now was to see that the eye region did not get converted into a gaping hole. Unfortunately on the second day after the operation his eye oozed with blood. The doctors asked my son to lie down on the bed for 2 months without changing sides. The situation was now very dire. I could not endure my son’s anguish. So I ran to Gurudeva and prayed at his holy feet to ward off my son’s agony. He advised me and my wife to perform a small Gayatri Anushthan in my house and that Gayatri would definitely ward off our misery. We did exactly as advised and then went to Agra too visit our beloved son. To our wonderment we saw that son of ours who was previously advised to rest for 2 months in bed walking in the hospital corridor. Further there was faint vision in his injured eye. We later took our son for Gurudeva’s blessings. For 1 year our son resided at Gayatri Tapobhumi and as a result he regained full vision. As of today he is a cashier in one Bank, with a pay of rupees 800/month. After this dire episode I gave up superficial logic and accepted the existence of divine grace.

--------------Rameshchandra Pandey, Vaidya (Padham Mainpuri, India)

FOUND A WELL MEANING PRECEPTOR

At the age of 13 years I was given the Yajnopaveet (Thread Ceremony). Since I was a Brahmin by birth I was aware of the great import of Gayatri Mantra. And yet my soul yearned for something deeper. But alas, this was not to be for quite some time.

I passed my M.A. degree and became a professor. Although I worshiped Gayatri daily I was not experiencing any divine joy in doing so. Later although I came across Gurudeva’s great literature I was not allowed to read it because my father was a die hard traditionalist. Hence there was no question of personally meeting Gurudeva. One day, early in the morning, I was wonderstruck because my father himself asked me to visit Gurudeva and get Gayatri initiation. I asked in bewilderment: Father! Why this sudden change in your stance? He said: At night in my dream I saw a young virgin girl dressed in white attire. Her face radiated a divine aura. She sternly reprimanded me for not allowing you to visit Gurudeva. Thus as soon as I woke up I decided to carry out her holy command. I feel Holy Gayatri has truly blessed me. As per my father’s advice I went to Mathura and got Gayatri Mantra initiation from revered Gurudeva. Today I am in total bliss and contentment both materially and spiritually.

--------------Prof.O.P.Mehta, Vidyanagri (India)

DIVINE MOTHER’S ENERGY FORM

In our area there was a religious program related to Devkanyaas and everyone asked me too to help. Very arrogantly I refused. Only 5-6 days were left. Once suddenly I felt as though a voice shouted aloud in my ears saying: Why aren’t you participating in this program? Immediately I packed my bags and headed for the program. For 5-6 days we all worked hard and thus the program was very well appreciated. At that time I learnt an important lesson that one should not ask anything from Divine Mother and instead serve her and her creatures selflessly. Not for a moment should we think that without us the work will get stalled. This is because Mother can get her work done by her Divine Energy.

----------------Nathuram upadhyay, baroda, Dungarpur (Rajasthan,India)

BLISS DUE TO DIVINE LIGHT VISION

Just a short time back I had commenced Gayatri Meditation with the result my bodily nerves manifested mysterious movements and heat. I was a bit scared and yet I persisted with my spiritual endeavor. Slowly I felt my mental distortions getting destroyed and my intellect manifested pure light. My mind swayed with bliss. That divine wealth attained via Gayatri devotion was now mine for keeps sake.

--------------Atitsingh D. Jadega, Paddhari Gupt (India)

OVERCOMING VILE THOUGHTS/THINKING

Vile thoughts attacked my mind just like flies, mosquitoes etc do. And yet Gayatri devotion nullified all that just as when the sun rises darkness vanishes on the spot.

---------------Sinhasan Prasadsingh, Jagapakar (Bihar)

IT WAS HER SHEER GRACE

My exam date was very near and my mother passed away. One wicked man attacked my colleague Omkar at college with a knife. Thus I could not study properly and was worried whether I would clear my exams. At that time I was given the sacred ‘taste’ of Gayatri’s omnipotence. We gave up all other chores so as to devote ourselves to a 9 day Gayatri program. We then gave our exam. I passed with 1st grade and my friend with 2nd grade. Hence till today my faith in Gayatri has waxed like the full moon.

LIBERATION FROM BAD HABITS

Bad habits had taken over my psyche. After 3 years of Gayatri Meditation I was inspired to speak the truth at all times. As a result my mind is serene and contented.

--------------Ramnarayan Sharma, Jhankri (M.P.,India)

LIBERATION FROM TERRIBLE HARDSHIPS

For 6 months continuously I got no sleep either at night or in the day too. This was despite being administered with medicines and injections to help me get sleep. One day I met a member of the International Gayatri Family and he conducted a Gayatri Yajna at my residence. Immediately after the Yajna was completed I fell into deep sleep and when I woke up I felt as though my fatigue of last 6 months was nullified totally. Ever since I have caught hold of Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loving hand and will not give it up even after death. Gayatri devotion has given me such miraculous experiences that it would be difficult for a gross intellect to accept them as true. Hence I keep these miracles to myself and am swimming in the ocean of divine soul bliss.

---------------Bhagwandas Gupt, Gwalior (M.P.,India)

MOTHER GAYATRI-THE ETERNAL PROTECTOR

Due to internal fights people attacked my house but Divine Mother instilled fear in their psyche and they ran away. Before fleeing they managed to fire a bullet at me but to the astonishment of my enemies too I managed to escape by a hairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breadth. All this was possible simply because Divine Gayatri was protecting me.

--------------Rajvir Singh, Aligarh (India)

I SIRED A SON

My landlord who watched me perform Gayatri worship daily said: Bharadwajji! My daughter is childless and hence her in-laws disrespect her. Please show me a way. I asked his daughter to worship Gayatri regularly and after 3 months she became pregnant. At the appointed hour she delivered a bonny baby boy. This intensified my faith in Holy Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divine prowess.

---------------Omprakash Bharadwaj, Gwalior (M.P.,India)

SELF MANIFESTING PRIME OPPORTUNITY

Revered Gurudeva had asked me to attend spiritual programs. My soul was turbulent because generally we did not get leave even after pleading for a few months at a stretch. And yet I put in my application papers for leave. This was the first instance in my life when the senior personnel granted me a 1 month leave within 5 days and without any questions asked.

---------------Dr.Ratan Saksena, Satna (M.P.,India)

DETESTING VILE QUALITIES

Initially I erred by thinking that vile habits are something great to harbor in oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personality. This erroneous thinking has been destroyed by Gayatri devotion wherein even minor unwholesome thinking appears to be a huge mountain for me. Thus due to self introspection I am saved from vileness. Today my sacred living and thinking is sheer grace of Gayatri.

------------Shyambabu agrawal, Lashkar (M.P.,India)

SIMPLY DUE TO MOTHERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GRACE

Many of my highly educated friends are jobless but I easily got a job of Rupees 170/month due to some invisible prodding. Today I earn Rupees 300 and am peaceful and satiated. It is due to sheer grace of Mother Gayatri.

-------------Subhashchandra Sharma, Jawra (M.P.,India)

WHOLESOME THOUGHTS-WHOLESOME THINKING

Although after commencing Gayatri meditation my financial status grew a lot yet my greatest attainment was wholesome thinking due to Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compassion. Sometimes so much compassion and love oozes in my soul that my eyes manifest tears of love for entire creation.

--------------Ram Himanchal Tripathi, Baskhari (India)

PASSED MY EXAMS

Although Mother has saved me during many dire incidences in my life yet I cannot forget that day when my brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son was running very high fever. On that day my nephew was to give an exam. He was sad at the prospect of failing. I sent him to his exam centre and at home I started chanting the Gayatri Mantra. I continued non stop till he returned home. My nephew on returning seemed very happy and said: Uncle, I felt as though some invisible hand was writing my exam paper. Sure enough he passed with good marks and this intensified my faith in Gayatri all the more.

--------------Shashidhar Singh, Kakna (Bihar,India)

SACRED VIBRATIONS OF SPIRITUALITY

My life has transformed amazingly ever since I surrendered to Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loving care. Previously I thought and acted very selfishly but today Gayatri inspires me to think and act for world welfare which gives untold bliss to my soul. I have attained the Paras (touch stone) called Gayatri and am sharing it with everyone by spreading the holy message of Gayatri precepts.

--------------Dhrubhai K.Thakor, Surat (Gujarat,India)

OPPONENTS BECAME HELPFUL FRIENDS

All foes turned friends ever since I started Gayatri meditation in all earnestness. Now they all help me with great cooperation.

------------Vindeshwariprasad Yadav, Basarbari (India)

ALTHOUGH I ASKED FOR ONLY ONE I GOT TWO

Despite being married for 10 years we were childless. We lost faith in medical aid too. At that point we took shelter at Holy Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet. As a result of her grace we have 2 children today. I realized that it was now my responsibility to carry out Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacred mission. Hence I live a life of self control and contribute like a cog in the wheel for this sacred mission. In this manner maybe I will repay at least an iota of the divine debt I owe to Gayatri.

-------------Girija Shankar Gupt, Gwalior (India)

HARDSHIPS WERE BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE

There was a time when even minor obstacles induced extreme pain in my heart. I would curse my fate and Almighty god too in a foolish manner. This state transformed totally ever since I started Gayatri worship. My mind oozed with so much valor and self belief that more intense hardships appeared divine blessings for me. This helps me overcome all obstacles that obstruct my goal of spirituality. Today not taking but giving is a source of immense joy in my life.

---------------Rajendra Prasad Singh, Hatiya (Ranchi, India)

AT THE VERY BEGINNING I FOUND MY PATH

Initially I commenced minor Gayatri rites which destroyed my bodily illnesses of many years at a stretch. My mind said to me: If minor rites can destroy your bodily pain wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t major Gayatri worship/meditation endeavors liberate your soul from the vicious cycle of infinite births/deaths? Thus I commenced intense austerities in the form of 5 small Anushthans, 1 potent Anushthan of 0.125 million Gayatri Mantra chanting (Japa), 1 Chanrayan Vrata (vow) etc wherein I observed Mauna or silence of speech. I just cannot describe fully the infinite bliss and fulfillment my soul is enjoying.

------------Dayaram Soni, Suneta (Jhalawad,India)

ATTAINED FIRST RANK

I was not a very intelligent student but I was told that Gayatri meditation augments oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intellectual capacity greatly. Hence every student should meditate on Gayatri. I did exactly this for 1 year and when I gave my exams I was amazed to see my results which said that I had passed with first rank.

---------------Rajdev Ojha, Duliajam (Assam,India)

HOW LONG WILL OUR LACK CONTINUE TO BE FULFILLED!

I wanted a well to be bored but I did not have the necessary means to do so. It was at that point that Mother Gayatri made some facile arrangements and the well was bored. When I wanted a buffalo I got one, when I wanted some land, I got that too. In this manner Mother fulfilled all my desires. Today I have given up material desires and am focusing on purity and concentration of my soul. We devotees may run out of desires but Gayatri can never turn down her true devoteeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plea!

--------------Maheshwarsingh, Bharwadi (Bihar,India)

MY LIFE FOUND A MEANINGFUL DIRECTION

I was facing the painful fruits of my chaotic lifestyle. At that time the omnipotent Divine Gayatri poured her compassion on me. As a result of regular Gayatri meditation my eating, sleeping, working etc endeavors became optimally balanced and hence my family life improved tremendously. Today I am peaceful and contented at all times since the wealth of spirituality eternally dwells in my soul.

-------------------K.D.Singh, S.O., Bhuvaneshwar (Orissa,India)

MY SLUM CONVERTED INTO A PALATIAL BUNGLOW

A very small booklet on Gayatri meditation induced such a magnificent change in my life that instead of a slum I am now residing in a big flat. Without Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace I would never have landed my present job that pays me Rupees 1380/month. I have resolved that let anything escape my grasp but never my daily Gayatri devotional practice. Gayatri is now my whole and sole goal of life.

------------Banwarilal Dikshira, Sawai Madhopur (Raj., India)

MOTHER GAVE ME SOUL FORCE/WILL POWER

I had never traveled much and was not a very influential person too. Hence it bogged my mind as to how I can spread the precepts of Gayatri. One day I was commanded by our Mission to prepare a Yajna program in a place called Tinsukiya. I was in a quandary as to how the required expenses of Rupees 10,000 will be procured. While I was worrying thus a divine light flashed in my soul which said: I am with you. This gave me strength and I set off to perform my duty. I converted my room into a Gayatri temple and commenced the task. About 40 people enrolled as volunteers of Akhand Jyoti. About 80 people renounced lowly activities and everyone helped without being asked to do so. Thus such a radiant Yajna commenced that even today none have forgotten it. Today my confidence levels are very high and hence with everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help our branch is very capable and efficient.

-------------Ram Chandra Yadav, Dulia Jaan (Assam, India)

A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF GAYATRI YAJNA’S POTENTIAL

Mathura’s Sushila Devi Mudgal writes that she spent her childhood in the blissful region of her birthplace Peshawar. My youth too was so full of love given to me by my family that I had never even dreamt that in middle age I will face gigantic peaks of anguish and strife. I least imagined that forget attaining life’s joy it would be well nigh impossible to continue remaining alive in such vicious circumstances. The Lord’s Lila’s (Divine Play) and the laws of destiny are very strange indeed.

India was partitioned. Pakistan was a new country that was formed. My life of joy too was divided into 2 pieces. I do not know where 1 piece went away. The 2nd piece was full of pain, suffering and sheer downfall which was given as our share. Destiny snatched away all bitter sweet memories and replaced them with nothing but agitation of the mind and gloominess. India’s partitioning partitioned my life too. And sure enough it was most bitter. When others hear about it, they too experience anguish.

In that time period man had become a demon. It seemed as though humanity and its sacred values had disappeared totally. Innocent and helpless people in hordes were cut down to size like carrots and cucumbers. Accompanied by my small son and daughter I headed for the Rawalpindi Relief Camp along with a few acquaintances. Midway a chaotic situation manifested and bullets were fired at anyone and everyone. My young 3 year old son became a target of this bullet. Like an injured bird his body trembled and shivered for a few minutes and later in a pool of blood ‘slept’ his innocent dead body. Even today after a gap of a few decades when this scene manifests in my mind’s eye I feel as though my shattered heart will try and come out of my body forcefully. I saw this savage and bloody fate of my innocent babes which is the lot of only ill fated human beings. When at the final moment my dying son’s life force was painfully leaving his body every nerve of my body experienced pain equivalent to infinite scorpions biting one’s body. At that time I felt that the best boon God could give me was death only. I prayed in anguish: Lord! I cannot bear this pain and hence please take me to your divine abode. These words continuously manifested from my quivering lips.

The compassionate Lord never allows a true desire to remain unfulfilled which was proved to be true. A second bullet in a flash entered my chest. Further swords too were dug into my body in a few areas. It was like a ferocious lion savagely tearing my skin with its sharp claws. Very shortly the grief of my childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death and my own wounds turned into a deafening silence. This was because unconsciousness engulfed me and thus became oblivious to the pain and strife of the external world.

I was operated in a Rawalpindi Hospital. Bullets were removed from my wounded body. Even death refused to shower compassion and instead tauntingly left me. My life was saved. From Rawalpindi I was taken to a Delhi Hospital. Avin Hospital and American Hospital for some reason are bound to my destiny for years together. The bullets had shattered my bodily organs so badly that I was like a half dead corpse. The right half of the body was lifeless and my hands, legs and trunk could not move at all. My daily chores were carried out lying listlessly on the bed. Medical complications like kidney pain, less urination, blurring of eye sight, anemia, nervous dysfunction, bouts of unconscious states, bones becoming very weak etc set in savagely. Day in and day out I faced operations, injections and other treatments. For 5 years at a stretch I was hospitalized in Delhi, Agra, Simla, Aligarh, Mathura, Vrindavan etc (India).

At last my health improved a bit and physically I somehow managed to become a bit independent. Thus I was taken home. And yet where was peace and contentment? Many diseases were after my blood so as to say. Bouts of unconsciousness, urine problems, kidney pain, nerve weakness etc refused to release me from bodily agony. I had been given a lot of medical treatment but my mind was dissatisfied. I said to myself: Since my life has been spared we must find a way of overcoming these diseases and their resultant hardships. Medical treatment was persisted with. Simultaneously my mind was now inclined towards spirituality and now I felt more than doctors it was god only who could help me lead a better life. When I heard about some realized saints I somehow managed to associate with them. I prayed that their blessings cure me.

One day (maybe a Punjabi) told me: Everyday a Yajna is conducted at Gayatri Tapobhumi. You should go there regularly. Yajnas help overcome various diseases. Very recently a patient who attended this Yajna came back totally cured. Thus I went to the Tapobhumi and there I found the atmosphere and attitude of

its members very sacred and pure. As and when possible I attended these Yajnas. And yet my frail faith was not very sure that my illness would be cured substantially. In the month of May a very big Yajna was scheduled. Many people from outside too participated. A mentally challenged girl from a place called Kanvas in Kota, Rajasthan came to this Yajna along with her father. The Yajna proved very beneficial for her and she was cured in a major way. I was witness to this miraculous cure. Similarly a lady from Bhavnagar, Gujarat who suffered from major epileptic fits for 7 years arrived at the Yajna. In fact 2 ladies had to help her walk properly. After attending this Yajna for 1 month she was cured totally. Acharyaji (our revered author) blesses many sad and sorrowful people via these Yajnas. I was told about this by many people but it was only when I witnessed the above cures I too resolved to take part in these holy Yajnas.

I asked Acharayaji: Will my disease also be cured like those 2 women were cured? He answered: I cannot vouch for it emphatically because the Science of Yajnas has almost been totally been lost. And although I have some knowledge about these Yajnas I cannot give any guarantee but I can assure you that the sacred fumes of the Yajna will give at least some respite to your disease and to an extent your mind will attain purity. Although this answer did not satisfy me completely yet I resolved to at least give it a fair trial. For 3 months continuously I participated in the Yajna both in the morning and evening on a daily basis. As per Acharyajiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sage counsel I constantly chanted the Gayatri Mantra, fasted and performed the Anushthan. In those 3 months I benefited so much that my hospitalization of 5 years and its results paled in front of them. At present although my illness has not been cured totally yet I have been cured 80%. My bouts of unconscious states, stoppage of urination etc have disappeared totally. I am amazed that Yajnas performed devotionally can reap so much blessing on the devotee.

In ancient times people cured their diseases via Yajnas and also their desires too were fulfilled. This indeed is a fact not worth overlooking. My husband, my self and daughter regularly participate in Yajnas performed at Gayatri Tapobhumi. We always feel overjoyed while imagining that when Acharyaji actually builds a Yajna Hospital innumerable patients, poverty stricken people, individuals with material problems etc will greatly prosper with its compassionate help. May Mother bring that day very speedily so that peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worries, sorrows etc disappear forever into the thin air.

GAYATRI MEDITATION HELPS US ATTAIN WHOLESOME FAME, WEALTH AND SUCCESS

I have seen many powerful people undergoing a gigantic downfall and status demotion in society despite ‘swimming’ in wealth and security of high caliber. Hence it is clear that mere material means cannot be the criteria or basis of success in life. In comparison to this true and mature Gayatri aspirants have prospered even in the absence of any material help. Over here we will give actual experiences of those who attained both material and spiritual success/prosperity in the true sense of the term.

THE BLISSFUL EXPERIENCES OF MEDITATION PRACTICES

When I meditate I experience a strong pressure in my mid-eye brow region, spinal cord, throat, navel and waist. This same pressure in the scalp region gives a feeling of downpour of rain. This experience lasts for a short while only and yet it is so blissful that I despair when I come out of this meditative state. This experience of Brahmavarchas is the same at my residence too in the form of energy manifestation.

---------------Sushila, Aligarh (U.P., India)

DIRE DESTINY OVERCOMED

One day my leg got injured badly because of a stone. The finger slit open, blood oozed out and I could not walk till this blood flow stopped. Two and a half furlong away from where I sat was an old house. When I tried to get up later the wall nearby collapsed badly and the road was piled up with mud and brick pieces. When I looked at my watch I realized that this foot injury of mine was definitely a blessing in disguise. This is because if my foot was not hurt I would have been walking on the road exactly at the time when the big wall on its edge collapsed. Realizing that my life was saved I thanked Holy Gayatri for transforming my dire destiny of death into a mere foot injury. Later at home when I meditated tears of gratefulness flowed from my eyes at Mother’s holy feet.

----------------Ramdayal Upadhyay, Rohansi (M.P., India)

MOTHER’S GRACE HELPS ME ATTAIN MENTAL CONTROL

Previously I thought that mind control is impossible to achieve but after doing Gayatri meditation my mind is slowly become powerful in a controlled manner. My mind now oozes with sacred thoughts and sentiments and every now and then spiritual bliss manifests in my soul.

--------------Shambhu Prasad Aditya

MOTHER GAYATRI’S IMPECCABLE PROTECTION DURING DIRE TIMES

If some undesirable event is to occur my heart beats faster. Later I realized that when one commences Gayatri devotion Mother forewarns her devotees in the above manner so that the devotees can combat dire events in a prepared and befitting manner. This is an indirect way of Mother to protect her beloved devotees.

Once I was heading for Dalan and it was very dark. Suddenly my heart beats became faster than normal and hence after turning backwards I lit my lantern. And to my horror a deadly venomous snake was lying ahead on the road. If my heart had not forewarned me I would have stepped on this snake and death would have engulfed me in seconds. If I sit to write innumerable other such incidences when Gayatri saved me, an entire volume would have to be written.

------------Vijay Kumar Solanki, Karwal (M.P., India)

DIRECT EXPERIENCES OF GAYATRI PRACTICES

Although I commenced Gayatri worship with the aim of improving my financial position I realized that when this desire was fulfilled my 2 prime â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;enemiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; called indolence and lethargy augmented. I prayed to Gayatri to ward them off and once this was done my life attained serenity and untold joy.

---------------Durgalal Dakheda, Kachola (Raj., India)

DREAM AND APT ARRANGEMENT

I did not get the acceptance letter on time from Shantikunj to attend a Gayatri Yajna Camp. On the last day of my vacation my mind was immersed in these thoughts for the entire night. In between I entered a drowsy state where I dreamt that at the centre of a group of great saints stood Gurudeva. Gurudeva asked me: Will you not come to Shantikunj? Immediately I got up. Next day I got my vacation extended, made arrangements for expenses and reserved train tickets for Shantikunj (Haridwar, India). This was the first time I attended a Gayatri Camp and had the first Darshan (holy vision) of revered Gurudeva.

-----------Pratap Shinde, Viralgam (Nagda, India)

GAYATRI MEDITATION GIVES ME A DIVINE VISION OF GOD’S COSMIC FORM

I commence meditation on Mother Gayatri’s holy form but later it gets transformed into a divine vision of God’s cosmic form (Viraat). This vision is so ecstatic but alas, my frail speech cannot describe even an iota of its bliss If these minor spiritual practices of mine are so blissful what to say of the highest state of trance called Nirvikalpa Samadhi?

--------------Ashok Kumar Kashyap, Godiya (Mah., India)

MY BAG REMAINED SAFE

I was traveling in a bus and by my side I had a couple of bags with valuable items. I got down where I was supposed to. I forgot one of my bags. Later when I realized my mistake somehow I felt they would be safe. I got into another vehicle and again traveled to find the bus which I did. The bag was exactly where I had left it and although many passengers had traveled in the bus not one item in my bag was stolen.

--------------Satyanarayan Tripathi

THAT SOUND……

Both my self and my husband are ardent devotees of Gayatri. Once while journeying my husband was to land in Gorakhpur. As luck would have it, my husband continued sleeping while the train waited at Gorakhpur station. The train was about to leave when someone shouted “Gorakhpur station”. My husband got up in a flash and hurriedly with his bags in hand he was about to jump on to the platform at the point when the train had started moving he heard Gurudeva’s voice clearly behind him which said: Are you hell bent on killing yourself? Taken aback he turned around to see whether it was actually Gurudeva who spoke. Immediately the train had gathered speed and was on its way ahead. Ere this voice had not been heard my husband would definitely have been killed. At every step I have experienced Mother’s grace.

-------------Kamla Singh (Lucknow, India)

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT WARDED OFF

My daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marriage ceremony was completed. In one room all her wedding presents had been kept but because of a short circuit the room caught fire. The blazing inferno was so severe that it could have burnt the entire building to ash and yet the compassionate Mother Gayatri not only warded off this ill fate but also all bad omen on this auspicious occasion. Further although the room was exposed to fire the presents kept in it remained unharmed.

--------------Shivnarayansingh, Korva (M.P.,India)

BOON OF PEACE AND JOY

Although my worldly life had no major hitches my mind was very scattered and chaotic. I failed to understand this uncertainty. Later I came in contact with respected Gurudeva and the Gayatri mode of worship. With her grace I marched ahead on the path of soul advancement. Many spiritual experiences gave me a deep sense of peace and my sentimental nature became more refined and sacred. Today I find joy only in spirituality and working for world welfare.

------------Radhakrishna Vyas Vanprasthi (Mandsaur, India)

WITH DIVINE GRACE A LAME PERSON CAN CLIMB A MOUNTAIN TOO

O Gurudeva! My voice cannot open up. Hence he advised me to worship Gayatri daily and promised me that Mother would give me tremendous capacity to speak articulately. This is exactly what took place and the icing to the cake was when my colleagues were wonderstruck to see that I traveled in many areas of my state and gave one speech after another. They said in wonder: Look at this lady! She would tremble when asked to walk on to the stage but today she confidently does not only this but gives superb speeches that motivate just about everybody.

Future events could be visualized by me either in the waking or dream state. And I kept talking about them. At that time I felt that my devotion was getting tainted. As per Gurudevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sage advice I have stopped talking about them and yet I cannot but help inwardly express astonishment with reference to these prophecies. Once I stood in water and performed one ritual. If I relate the experiences attained as a result majority will not believe them. Today I have no desire to pursue prophecy based talks and instead am totally focused on soul advancement and its resultant eternal peace.

---------------Sumer Lal Bharadwaj, Tirodi (M.P.,India)

THE IMMENSE POWER OF FAITH

Once I was meditating at the hermitage of a sage. The sage later asked me to accompany him to the nearby village for eating food. I said: Swamiji! My beloved Mother Gayatri will worry about my meal ad hence I do not see why I should go to this village. The sage thought me to be mad and hence went away alone. Later a village lady with her daughter came to the hermitage and gave me more than 1 liter of milk. In another miraculous incident I was about to drown in a river but an invisible omnipotent force save me from imminent death.

---------------Prayag Dutt Thakur, Santhal Pargana (Bihar, India)

GAYATRI MANTRA GAVE A NEW LEASE OF LIFE

All the 3 bullocks were healthy and strong. One day all 3 of them were attacked by a deadly disease. The officer of a Farming Organization Mr. Agnihotri who owned these animals had a lot of knowledge about animal health. Although he tried his level best 2 bullocks died on the spot. The third was writhing in pain and at that point the owner prayed deeply to Mother Gayatri for divine intervention. He devotedly chanted the Gayatri Mantra thrice in the ear of the dying bullock. Immediately the bullockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health took a positive turn and in a short time it became fit and fine as before.

Similarly one day my daughter who was down with high virulent fever was saved from death due to Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holy blessings. In another incident I was operated for piles and when other patients were

discharged after 8 days minimum I was given discharge in 3 days flat. All this is sheer Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benign grace.

---------------Suresh Kumar Kaushik, Sanatorium Inspector, Lodam (India)

MY LIFE WAS PROTECTED

Yajna preparations were being made in Ravayvaar. My friends told me to leave only after the Yajna concluded. The problem was that I had made plans for traveling and that too for Gayatri Mission purposes. Hence with due permission, I left that place on a cycle. At a very short distance I suddenly started remembering Gurudeva very deeply. It seemed he was rying to subtly convey something but I failed to grasp the meaning. I continued my journey but again at a short distance the mud on the ground became very slippery. Thus my self and my cycle were flung at a depth of 25 feet into a big hole. Farmers from fields near by helped me come out of this hole. Every one was amazed to see that my body was devoid of even one small scratch when it is normal to get extremely badly injured while falling deep into a hole thus. This definitely is the grace of Super Power Gayatri.

--------------Ayodhya Prasad Maharana, Lodam (India)

HER GRACE SUPPRESSED IT

Before I commenced Gayatri meditation I was totally unaware that Gayatri’s grace super-cedes infinitely all the power of all great Kings of the world put together. Some people joined forces to malign me. I had to even face ministerial pressure but when they hired a lawyer the latter gave them such a verbal backlash that they were forced to give up acting against me wrongfully. After that my soul advancement practices are becoming more and more profound and all this is Gayatri’s divine glory.

--------------R.S.Jauhari, Bareily (U.P.,India)

SUPER TRANSFORMATION OF MENTAL QUALITIES, ACTIONS AND CHARACTER

Although it is Mother’s grace that in my legal profession I have won many intricate cases with her aid yet it is not that important for me; because according to me, her true grace is, overcoming of mental taints like anger, envy etc and making me pure in character. As a result, my family life is calm and fulfilling.

-------------Balram Rao, BHEL (Bhopal, India)

LIBERATION FROM VILE QUALITIES

Apart from Gayatri devotion no other means helped me overcome alcoholism, intake of non-vegetarian food and smoking habit. All these taints have been given up by me just as a snake gives up its old skin in totality. Today I am earnestly working for the International Gayatri Family.

--------------Ishwarlal Trivedi, Pipla Narayanbad (M.P.,India)

ATTAINING MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL PROSPERITY

From the year 1968 A.D., I realized the priceless nature of Gayatri devotion after reading Akhand Jyoti magazine. Hence I commenced Gayatri worship and progressed both materially and spiritually as a result. I was saved from dire consequences due to a departmental enquiry in my job, my little son Shashi Ranjanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was saved, I got a job promotion etc are examples of the fruit of Gayatri meditation. Spiritually speaking I benefited when my inner taints were destroyed due to Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace. I earnestly participated in Gayatri Yajnas, my mind loved meditating, and self introspection gave me untold bliss. It just doe not matter whether I am alone or surrounded by hordes of people because either way my inner serenity and divine bliss never diminishes even a wee bit.

------------Bindeshwari Prasad Sinha, Ahmedabad (India)

BRILLIANT RAYS SEEN IN GLOOMY DARKNESS

As I was weak in studies I stopped studying after 11th class. At that time I came in contact with Gayatri practices. As a result such positive circumstances developed that egged me to pursue studies for 3 years. Every exam was passed by me with first grade. Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace today has given me a very balanced and joyful life.

-------------Rajendra Kumar Hatila, Jodhpur (India)

INTENSE EMOTIONS

Ever since I commenced Gayatri meditation my love for all creatures is waxing day by day. All the time I self introspect to find out whether I am hurting any being or non-being too.

------------Harirai, Muzzafarpur (Bihar, India)

THE GREATEST DOCTOR

My wife suffered from something like Sciatica and Limber Slip. We took help of well known doctors and used up a lot of money and yet no cure was in sight. Let alone the pain diminishing even a wee bit the doctors failed to pin point as to what exactly was the disease. Later I learnt about the greatness of Gayatri wisdom. My faith deepened and hence I performed a Yajna of chanting 0.125 Gayatri Mantras. It was due to some obstacles that this endeavor took 51 days instead of 40 days. Despite these obstacles I resolved not to give up my aim midway and finally my goal was achieved. After that till today my wife has not only been cured but that no fresh attack of the disease has occurred.

---------------Jugal Kishore Gupt, Ashta (M.P.,India)

AMIDST THE SACRED LIGHT OF GOOD WILL

Since our was a very large joint family we did face disagreements regarding business methods, eating habits etc. Later when we family members started Gayatri worship regularly our family exuded an atmosphere of affection and good will for one another. Outsides are amazed to see our joyous joint family life and all this is Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace only that we are given a lot of honor and respect.

Lalji Gupta Mungra, Jaunpur (U.P.,India)

AFTER ONE AND A HALF YEARSâ&#x20AC;Ś.

One and a half years back I commenced Gayatri devotion and since then my life has bloomed like a fragrant flower in an all round manner. My soul is blissful, my mind is at peace, my speech is controlled and my character has become sacred and focused.

-------------Baburam Varma, Renja (Agra, India)

I TOUCHED ‘PARAS’ (TOUCH STONE)

It was Gayatri devotion that made me emphatically realize the true goal of our life viz. developing a taintless and focused character. Gayatri’s invisible potent force induced me firmly to live a life of honesty, sacred ideals and human values. One day I was made to give a test of my character. There was undue pressure on me to loot a store (where I was working) of certain very expensive items. I refused point blank saying I will not misuse public property. As a result these unscrupulous men threatened to kill me and yet I did not budge even a wee bit. Hence on the sly they cast aspersions on my ‘character’ so that I was left jobless. And yet I even under such difficult times I was grateful to Mother Gayatri for helping me past the test of character strength and steadfastness towards ethics and integrity. After this incident I filled an application for a bank job. Even though very highly educated young people had applied for this job I stood fifth in the interview and thus I landed this coveted job. It is thanks to Gayatri who helped me stick to integrity and thus gave me this job after testing me duly.

-------------Avtaram Raju, Bank of India (Patna, India)

THE HEAT OF WORDLY LIVING COOLED IN MOTHER GAYATRIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S LOVING SHADE

When I experienced the heat of hardships while leading my routine life I took recourse to Gayatri meditation. With the result I experienced a cooling peace and concluded that anyone surrendering to the will of God will always be protected by him. For those afflicted with bodily strife like diseases etc Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Divine Energy is like a miraculous medicine. Those afflicted by mental strife like depression, agitation, stress, tension etc can overcome it by soaking in the divine light of God during meditation. Surrendering to God inspires us to attain both our material and spiritual goals. Those who mentally experience dispassion to the world (they may or may not continue material pursuits externally) can actually merge into God consciousness during high flights of profound meditation. Thus they can attain God or Self Realization. In a nutshell Gayatri devotion disappoints none and none whosoever.

VILE QUALITIES DESTROYED

Ever since I started Gayatri practices my vile qualities have been destroyed. This has been replaced by an awakening of divinity in my soul. Despite many obstacles I steadfastly continue with the Gayatri Mission activities.

------------Devi Dayal Mahajan, Poonch (U.P., India)

FIRM FAITH IN HOLY GAYATRI

I am an ordinary farmer. Somehow I manage to meet my basic expenses. After reading Akhand Jyoti magazine I surrendered to Holy Gayatri. As a result I got a government job of a car driver. All my work oriented problems got solved as and when they arose. Today I totally trust Mother and know for sure that she will always bestow her grace one me.

-------------Avdhesh Kumar Sharma, Durg (M.P., India)

MY HEART WAS POSITIVELY TRANSFORMED

I was ill in Jodhpur (India). A Gayatri devotee Mr. Ambalalji advised my father to take me to Gurudeva instead of getting me hospitalized. Although my father was an atheist yet in this dire hour he agreed. At Gurudevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place a 1000 pyre (Kundi) Gayatri Yajna was going on. Despite such a huge crowd Gurudeva came down from the podium and met us. I became alright very shortly. At that time my atheist father humbly prostrated at Gurudevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet. Since then not only has he become a Gayatri follower but all our family members too have followed suit.

-------------Madan Mohan Saraswat, Jodhpur (India)

DIRECT RESULTS OF MEDITATION/DEVOTION

What can a person who is physically weak and has an inferiority complex achieve? And yet regular Gayatri worship helped augment my will power and today I am actively spreading the message of Gayatri Mission.

------------Ramlal Vasnik, Bhatgav (M.P., India)

GUIDANCE GOT FROM A DREAM

This incident took place a decade back. I was worshiping in a temple. There I joined members of a branch of Yug Nirman Yojana. That very night I visualized Gurudeva in a vivid dream. Later I met him at the closing ceremony of a Gayatri program and indeed my life has been duly fulfilled by his guidance.

-------------Kailash Chandra Vani, Jowat (M.P., India)

AUSTERITIES-A SURE SHOT ‘WEAPON’

I have directly experienced that Gayatri austerities are ‘weapons’ that destroy our psychic taints and thus augment our soul force. Although the fruits of true penance are farsighted and long term yet even in the short term one gains wisdom regarding solving of minor or major crisis in one’s material and spiritual life. It is on this basis that one’s individual life and hence of the world attains a radiant future full of material and spiritual prosperity. When selfish gains are ignored they get replaced by a sense of service to world creatures and world well being.

---------------Rameshwar Agrawal, Hazari Bagh (Delhi, India)

MOTHER’S INVISIBLE HELP

Our household wealth and property was being partitioned. I got a very small portion of it. Yet I never stopped worshiping Mother Gayatri. In a short time I bought my own house and all my basic needs were fulfilled. I am ever grateful to Gayatri for pouring her blessings on me.

-------------Ramchandra Rathod

BAD HABITS & ADDICTIONS OVERCOMED

The superb results of Gayatri meditation have been witnessed by me. It helped me overcome crazy addictions to smoking cigarettes, seeing movies very frequently and misusing my hard earned money. As a result I have become a strong and focused person.

------------Santlal Kaushik, Sikar (India)

MOTHER HEARD MY CRY OF ANGUISH

Three events in my life made me and others whom I know earnest followers of Gayatri philosophy. The first one was when Mr. Dhirendra Prasad Vajpayiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife ate 2 Rotis (Indian bread) after a gap of 10 days in which she could not even eat a morsel of food due to a harsh illness. For this I had fervently prayed to Mother Gayatri. The second event was when my friend Shri K.B.K. Morarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife was in hospital fighting death due to a terrible illness. I gave her the sacred ash of a Gayatri Yajna and lo behold, she recovered swiftly. The 3rd incident was just 2 days back when I could not move my legs because of some medical problem. Yet I took part in a Gayatri Jayanti (birthday) program. After chanting the Gayatri Mantra I was amazed to note that I got up without any help and could move around freely. I realized that whenever I made a heartfelt prayer to gracious Mother she responded promptly. All this has positively influenced my neighbors too who are now avowed devotees too.

----------------Shanti Sinha Dali, Rajhara (Durg, India)

MOTHER’S INFINITE GRACE

Since my father’s financial status was very poor he was unable to get me married. I thus started Gayatri worship. As a result very shortly I got married to a groom of a very sound financial and ethical background. Today my life is full of peace and joy and am regularly meditating on Gayatri.

-------------Jyoti Singh, Palavpur (Nalanda, India)

LIBERATION FROM A DISEASE

There was a time when my 2 year old daughter was ill for 1.5 years. It was as though her body had been converted into a skeleton. We tried many modes of cure but not only our time was vainly used but we wasted Rs 1500/- too. Finally we took part in a Gayatri Yajna in our village and I applied the holy Bhasma (ash) on my ailing daughter’s body. Amazingly her disease disappeared in 8 days flat. Ever since then, my faith in Gayatri has intensified day in and day out.

--------------Thansingh Thakray, Khairlaji (M.P., India)

HEALTH BENEFITS

I took part in a Gayatri Camp for 10 days at Shantikunj, Uttaranchal. My body which was ill so far became healthy due to the serene/sacred surroundings, pure Sattvik vegetarian food and a life of self control. I attained untold peace.

-------------Mohanlal Shravsar, Daga (India)

LIBERATION FROM A DISEASE DECLARED UNCURABLE BY THE BEST OF MEDICAL EXPERTS

I left Nagpur’s Diksa College and returned home in utter despair. One of my bodily organs had swelled so much that doctors said there was no cure for it. Gayatri Mission volunteers kindly advised me to commence Gayatri meditation. In a few days the boil like swelling on my testicle burst open on its own. Astonishingly around 2-3 liters of pus flowed from it and slowly I regained sound health. Today too I am fit and fine.

-------------Maniram Patel, Tekadi (M.P., India)

MOTHER’S GRACE GAVE ME ETHICAL WEALTH AND FAME

The day I started Gayatri devotion, my body, psyche and intellect started transforming in a sacred manner. These transformations transform our soul consciousness. Previously I was immersed in die hard material pursuits only but today due to spiritual leanings material pursuits do not induce tension or stress in my life as it did previously. Meditation performed with the sole aim of material gains may not give the ultimate bliss of God Realization but Mother is so gracious she gives such people a glimpse of this infinite divine bliss. Of course those who meditate solely for attaining God Realization are known to attain fame and wealth too but all this is utilized only for world welfare. Sometimes these spiritual experiences are so out of this world that they can be labeled as miracles only.

Under my (revered author) watchful eye and guidance millions of people have worshiped Gayatri. Daily I am told about 20-25 experiences of these people. Over here I present a few of these great spiritual experiences:

HEALTH BENEFITS WHILE FACING BLOOD CANCER

As per revered Gurudevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice I commenced Gayatri practices. I am a patient of the incurable blood cancer disease. So far I underwent many medical tests and medication. The doctors gave up hope and said that death would stare at me any moment. And yet the day I pursued Gayatri practices amazing results have accrued. Before commencement the cancer cells numbered to 0.132 million. After a few days of Gayatri devotion this number came down to 94,800. After 8 months of regular meditation medical tests said that the cancer cells had reduced to 63,000. Today I have firm faith that Gayatri will definitely overcome this deadly cancer from its very roots. Those doctors who had given hope of my survival are wonderstruck to see this phenomenal improvement after they themselves conducted various cancer tests and saw the report.

-------------Jamuna Prasad Patel, Gadar-pipariya (Jabalpur, India)

THE FINE RESULTS OF GAYATRI YAJNA

After I was apprised of the teachings Of Gayatri I earnestly participated in various Yajnas of the Gayatri Parivar. Every Yajna gave me more inspiration to lead a life of ethics and spiritual values. I studied Gurudeva’s priceless literature daily. Thus it gave me self fulfillment. Despite being married for 16 years I was childless. I yearned to have a child. And sure enough Mother blessed me with a baby boy.

------------Premsingh Bhadoria Lashkar, Gwalior (India)

GAYATRI BECAME A ‘SHIELD’ TO PROTECT ME

At 2 p.m. in the afternoon my scooter banged into a truck and thus there was a terrible accident. Of course this accident was ‘seen’ by me in my mind’s eye 5 minutes previous to the actual accident. This certainly was divine grace. Hence I held on to the scooter with one hand and with the second I tried saving myself. Strangely the second hand virtually became a ‘shield’ that protected me. Since my mind was calm even under such dire conditions my life was saved. People who had gathered at the accident site were mind boggled to see me escape unhurt. In future I am sure that although harsh situations will come my way Divine Mother like a ‘shield’ will definitely protect me.

-----------Balram Rao, Bhopal (M.P., India)

ONLY A DIVINE POWER HELPED ME

I was attacked by a strange disease. This brought in deep despair in my life. Wind would concentrate near my chest region and this gave me agonizing pain. It seemed as though death would stake its claim any moment. It was only Gayatri devotion that warded off this deadly painful disease and that too without any medical aid.

------------Sitaram Pandey, Gadaroad Sagar (M.P., India)

HOLY MOTHERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GRACE SHOWERS ON ONE AND ALL

My life transformed amazingly after I started Gayatri meditation daily. I regained bodily health and my family life took a peaceful turn. I have totally renounced lethargy, vile habits, lowliness and indolence. There are other incidences in my life wherein Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace came to my aid. For example 3 village widowed ladies getting govt. pension, the road to my job promotion opening up easily, a girl called Om getting married to a suitable groom etc were the result of sheer grace of Gayatri.

-------------Risal Singh Reader, Jhunjhun (Raj., India)

ASTOUNDING INSPIRATION

Ever since I came in contact with respected Gurudeva and read his priceless literature, I am getting divine inspiration again and again. Sometimes when despair clouds my psyche I read Gurudevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literature and lo behold my soul exudes with divine bliss. Later I passed my M.A. degree and got a very good job with promotions later on. Ere I had not been inspired by Gurudevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacred literature I would have lived a humdrum life (of eat, drink, be merry occasionally and then die like any worm living in marshy areas).

------------Ishwardas Vaishnav, Manendragadh (Guj, India)

THE MIGHTY POWER OF SACRED AND WHOLESOME LITERATURE

Right since childhood I was a problem child for my parents and family at large. In my formative years I was weak bodily, illnesses attacked me regularly and my IQ too was low. It was only when I commenced Gayatri worship and deeply studied the Akhand Jyoti magazine that I received subtle spiritual inspirations. My will power augmented and I used this fully for Gayatri Mission based tasks. It was this will power that positively changed my social behavior and increased my IQ phenomenally. People were

amazed and questioned as to how I attained such superior material and spiritual wisdom. Whether they believe it or not I for one am dead sure that all this is the grace of Gurudevâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacred literature which I read regularly and reflect on its meaning deeply.

-----------Chandra Prakash Shastri, Ganj Dundwara (Ita, India)

PROPHETIC DREAM

I was imprisoned under the MISA act (India). In my M.Com exam I missed a first class by 5 marks and I am actively volunteering for the Yug Nirman Yojana mission. All these 3 incidences I had visualized prior to their happening in my dream. This prophetic dream came true to the last letter. This potential matured only due to high flights of Gayatri meditation.

-----------Kailashchandra Mahajan, Khargaun (M.P., India)

OVERCOMING AN ILLNESS

A few months back I suffered from a liver problem and low blood pressure. As per Gurudeva’s sage advice I started Gayatri practices. With deep faith I surrendered to Mother Gayatri. Her grace warded off all my medical problems and today I am perfectly fit and fine.

-----------Sivshankar Mishra, Rajendranagar (U.P., India)

THE SUPER POWER OF GAYATRI SPRITUAL TECHNIQUES

Two incidences in my life prove the divine potency of Gayatri Mantra chanting. The first was regarding my mother’s illness for the past 40 years which was declared incurable. Maybe there were just a few moments in these 40 grinding years that my mother experienced just a shade of joy. Many doctors examined her but none could cure her illness. Finally I chanted the Gayatri Mantra daily while holding a glass of clean water in my hand (Abhimantrit Jal). This sacred water was par taken by my mother and slowly the road of total recovery came her way. In another case one house was terrorized by a devil. This family was hence always in agony and helplessness. In order to help them I conducted a Gayatri Yajna in their house and from that very day there was no sign of a terror bestowing ghost or devil.

-----------Premdas Mund, Shantikunj (Haridwar, India)

MOTHER’S EXTRAORDINARY HELP

I went to a village called Budbuda for conducting a Yajna. After it was completed the village members urged me to conduct a Devi Puja (ritual). Thus there was a lot of delay and the train was to arrive on time. I was worried that I would miss this train. The train arrived dot on time and in a few minutes it got the signal to depart too. And yet strangely when the train driver tried starting the train again and again it refused to budge even an inch. For 1 whole hour all railway workers were in turmoil because the train just did not move. In this 1 hour I finished my task, headed for the station, bought a ticket and boarded the train without any hitch. As soon as I sat down in my seat the train started moving on its own. Everyone meaning right from passengers to the railway officials were amazed as to how the train did not move for an hour when they tried hard to do so and then suddenly it started moving on its own without any prompting from the driver. Within I was cent percent sure that Mother Gayatri gave me a taste of her infinite miraculous powers.

-----------Khursiram Bhagat, Khairloji (M.P., India)

I GOT A COVETED JOB

I was at a loss as to how my son Anirudh could land a good job. I wrote a letter to H.H. Gurudeva. He gave his blessings in a letter and asked me to worship Gayatri regularly. My son applied for a job and very fortunately he got a good job in an agricultural college of Hissar, Punjab (India).

--------------Chedalal Bhagat, Bhagalpur (India)

I GOT THE ‘KEY’ OF TRUE SUCCESS

I was very worried. I had developed many bad habits and addictions. Hence my financial state was totally ruined. In my home town itself I wanted to shift but all in vain. Despair engulfed me from all sides and at that time my friend Mr. Jaganlal Chaurasia inspired me to start Gayatri meditation. This proved to be a divine key of success for me. With this key all my problems are being overcome one by one. Now I experience self fulfillment and serene contentment. Very shortly I moved into a new house as per my desire. There is a stark difference in the lowly life I led previously and a sacred life that I live now. Deep faith in Mother Gayatri replenishes my soul force and thus all my tasks become meaningful and beneficial in the long run.

TUBERCULOSIS DISEASE CURED TOTALLY

I was afflicted with tuberculosis. Many doctors treated me without success. Virtually all of them asked me not to go for any further tests and treatments. Out of despair I contacted revered Gurudeva. He lovingly advised me to worship Gayatri for 1 year and chew the Tulsi (holy basil) leaves. A day came when my illness ended totally. My doctors too were astounded to see my tuberculosis tests showing ‘no TB’.

-----------Shyamlal, Mathura (U.P., India)

I BECAME A TOTALLY CHANGED PERSON

Because of bad company I developed many vile characteristics. I fought with my famy off and on. One day my health started deteriorating. Hence I started Gayatri devotion and slowly my bad habits and thinking disappeared. My health improved a lot and my family squabbles came to an end. Later I sired a son. Thus my life changed very positively forever.

----------Deepasingh Tomar, Nagla-Itawa (India)

MY WORRIES WARDED OFF

Envious people were after my life and hence they tried to get a job transfer for me. They tried a lot but failed at every attempt. Further I was worried about my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marriage. Even this problem was solved very shortly. Mother Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loving grace saw to it that my worries disappeared hook, line and sinker.

-------------Ramprasad Sharma, Shujalpur Mandi (India)

MY WIFE CHANGED RESIDENCE

I yearned that my wife leave Jomta village and join me at Gondal but my plans failed. Later HH Gurudeva’s blessings fulfilled my desire.

------------Kanubhai Pandya, Gondal (Guj., India)

LIFE SAVED

Mother Gayatri protected my daughter Rama Kumari. Because of an incurable disease her life was sure to end. Since medical treatments failed we commenced Gayatri worship with devotion. Gayatri indeed saved my daughter’s life. Today she is disease free and in very good health.

-----------Ganeshdas Aroda, Ara (Bihar, India)

LIBERATED FROM A DEADLY DISEASE

My daughter Manjula was in agonizing pain because of kidney problems. This illness turned her body into a living skeleton. Her life was definitely at stake. All the doctors who diagnosed her condition opined that death was imminent. Out of sheer desperation I commenced Gayatri meditation. I urged my daughter too to chant the Gayatri Mantra regularly. This was enough to ward off her kidney problem. My daughter now regained sound health. Today Mother’s blessings have given me a peaceful family life.

----------Maganchandra Pandeya (Munger, India)

MOTHER’S LOVING PROTECTION

It was sheer stupidity on my part to ascend a moving train. Since my luggage was heavy I could not balance myself aptly. I fell in between the platform and the moving train. I was hit by the moving train and lost consciousness. And yet strangely an unknown force protected me. I escaped virtually unhurt and I only remember one thing that when I fell down I visualized and prayed to Gurudeva in my mind’s eye.

-----------Shriram Agrawal, Tendukona (M.P., India)

MOTHER GAYATRI- A COMBINATION OF DIVINE NECTAR, PARAS (TOUCHSTONE) AND A WISHFULFILLING TREE

By itself anyone can be helped by invisible sources. And yet after hearing a first hand account of the spiritual experiences of Gayatri aspirants I have come to a conclusion that the psyche and soul state of Gayatri devotees gets molded in such a manner that it helps them again and again in a very â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mysteriousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and wondrous manner. This includes attaining good health after undergoing illness, a golden family life and fulfillment of desires just like the proverbial wish fulfilling tree called Kalpvriksa. I present a few such first hand experiences of mature Gayatri devotees:

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

MIRACULOUS PROTECTION

This is a real life incident in a place called Nadira Ganj (India). In one of the buildings on the 3rd floor resided a family of ardent Gayatri devotees. Time and again Gayatri Yajnas were conducted by them. In one such Yajna a photo of Mother Gayatri was placed on the dais. One day suddenly the building collapsed. As a result those living on other floors ran away for safer haven. It was only this family of Gayatri devotees who helplessly but with faith prayed in front of the Gayatri photo. All those who had gathered near the building were spell bound to see that although the other floors collapsed somehow the third floor remained intact with support of a few pillars and beams of the building. After this miraculous escape the entire family vowed to spread the holy teachings of Gayatri for their entire life span. They all said in unison that the remaining part of their lives belong to none other than Gayatri because if it were not for her divine protection they would have died on the ill fated day.

------------Malti Sinha, Gaya (Bihar, India)

I GOT BACK THAT VERY SON AGAIN

I had only 1 son. Due to some harsh illness he died. I was overwhelmed with anguish. HH Gurudeva gave me solace and said that I must be patient and that this very son will be reborn from my wife’s womb again. He advised me to perform Gayatri practices daily which I did whole heartedly. On the day my wife delivered this new born son I realized Gayatri’s omnipotence because the baby boy looked exactly like my dead son. Further her grace saw to it that this son of mine became a great intellectual personality.

------------Nagulal Sharma, Nagda (M.P., India)

I ATTAINED UNTOLD SPIRITUAL WEALTH

I attained self glory after attending a camp meant for transforming one’s mind sacredly. For the first time I realized how priceless our human life is. I attained immense spiritual wealth and the peace and joy within my soul was boundless. My physical body did not change but my heart and mind positively changed in a sacred manner. What I ‘saw’ in the divine light of wisdom can never be described by the frail human speech. I resolved immediately to become a life member of this divine International Gayatri Family. Not only do I worship Gayatri daily but humbly encourage others to do so too. Today my life has attained divine glory and it oozes with nectarine bliss and eternal peace.

------------Bhagwatprasad M. Inamdar, Baroda (Guj., India)

MY CAPSIZING BOAT WAS SAVED

My family’s financial status was very weak. Both bodily and mentally I was ill. My psyche was taken over perforce by worry, fear complexes, despair, wrath, lust etc. For around 10 years I was afflicted by an incurable disease. Despite top medical treatment my illness refused to budge. My life’s boat was about to capsize mid stream. At this point I got help from Gayatri devotion. I came in contact with the branch members of Yug Nirman Yojana. As per their directions, I commenced Gayatri meditation daily and controlled my lifestyle, including eating, resting, work etc. This endeavor gave me miraculous results. My capacity to work augmented n-fold and thus I secured a good promotion. In turn this solved my financial problems. The overall peace of my mind helped overcome my 10 year long illness. Today my life is so fulfilling and serene.

------------Ashwini Kumar Sharma, Piplani (Bhopal, India)

THE ROOTS OF FAITH AND TRUST BECAME VERY FIRM

The following incident took place on 6th November 1978 AD. My father passed away. His corpse was laid down on the floor and we family members sat surrounding it in sheer sorrow. After around 1 hour elapsed a miraculous event occurred right in front of us. Suddenly my ‘dead’ father awakened. All of us who were sobbing were amazed to see him alive. My father said: 4 terrible people who were carrying me away were fought single handedly by a sage like person and thus he saved me. This gentleman said: This dead man is supposed to take part in a Yajna and also attend Parvati’s marriage. In reality we came to know that the very next day a 25 Kundi (pyre) Yajna was planned in Jhansi and 1 day previous to this

Parvati’s marriage was to take place. Thus her marriage took place along with the Yajna. This amazing incident made our faith firm and unswerving towards Mother Gayatri. All our family members worship Gayatri daily and are life time volunteers for spreading Gayatri Mission’s sacred precepts.

------------Pannalal Namdev, Jhansi (India)

WISDOM GIVEN FOR ATTAINING A BRIGHT FUTURE

A wonderful change came in my life after I came in contact with the members of Yug Nirman Yojana (Agra branch). I read Gurudeva’s sacred literature and my faith in spirituality waxed like a full moon. I now was walking towards a bright future. Ever since, I have taken keen interest in Gayatri meditation regularly. Daily I studied sacred literature, service to others and self controlled living. My capacity of work for desirable goals has grown a great deal. Thus my professional life reaped rich dividends which brought along with it, wholesome fame. I attained not only material but spiritual prosperity too. My family lives in a heavenly kind of peaceful and prosperous atmosphere. Certain events in my life occurred solely due to Gayatri’s grace. Twice I was about to drown in water but some invisible force saved my life. Later I got a tremendous electric shock and yet I escaped unhurt.

-------------Durga Prasad Sharma Advocate (Agra, India)

DIVINE POWER’S DIVINE PROTECTION

I locked my house and left to attend a 4 day Yajna program in a village called Kanvarpura. After its completion when I returned home I was amazed to see Mother Gayatri’s grace. The thing was that my house was locked from within whereas I had locked it from outside. Somehow I managed to enter my house. Everyone saw that my back door was broken and my household items were lying in the patio. And yet all these items were safe and sound. Not only my self but all those present were mind boggled. Mentally a question arose as to if the thief had succeeded in breaking into my house why did he not flee with valuable items? After many days this thief was found who truly repented his criminal act. He said: A divine form of Mother Gayatri stood there inside the house protecting all your items. Thus I was forced to flee empty handed. Since then this thief too has been transformed and worships Gayatri daily. He has renounced all criminal activity and has turned into a new leaf. He firmly believes that God truly protects his devotees ceaselessly and lovingly.

MOTHER’S AFFECTIONATE INSPIRATIONS IN MY DREAMS

The direct proof of the speed with which a Gayatri devotee’s mental state becomes focused and taintless can be gauged from the sacred dreams they get while sleeping and what kind of divine guidance do they get from them. Generally all true Gayatri aspirants get such sacred dreams. Many a times the chain of previous births wherein Gayatri practices were carried out can be conjoined with the help of this present life to these sacred dreams. I (author) have personally heard about these dreams from thousands of devotees and quite a few are mind boggling to say the least. In the following paragraphs we shall present some of these dream inspiration for the benefit of our respected readers:

PROPHETIC DREAM

I was finding my life burdensome and was in great agony mentally. One hardship after another attacked my daily life without pausing. To escape them I thought of becoming a mendicant. That same night I dreamt that a radiant person led me into a temple and while pointing at the Goddess’ image he said: You must daily meditate on this idol. All your problems will then be solved and you will attain inner peace. I changed my previous decision on waking up and set off to find the temple I saw in my dream. As luck would have it I was given an Akhand Jyoti magazine. As soon as I started reading it peace manifested in my mind. I headed for Mathura as per the address given in the magazine and lo behold, I saw my dream ‘reenacted’ in front of my gross eyes. As per the dream guidance I have become an unswerving devotee of Gayatri and today I live a contented and blissful life.

-------------Jagatram Sharma Jogiya, Palgadh (M.P., India)

OVERCOMING JOBLESSNESS

On that day my mind was in total unrest. My father retiring from his job, his pension not enough to see to our basic expenses, my sister Yashodhara of marriageable age etc were many concerns. For 4 years in a row I tried to get a job placement and yet only despair was the result. At that time a friend gave me a book called Gayatri’s Super Science (Mahavignan) Part I written by Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharmaji. After reading the book I was sure that Gayatri teachings held the key of solving our life’s problems. A blind man seeks but 2 eyes that function well. I commenced Gayatri worship with an agenda of chanting 24 thousand Gayatri Mantras. On the final day when I slept at night my mind was serene and peaceful. When I was fast asleep a divine virgin girl was seen by me in a very vivid dream. Even today I cannot forget her divinely radiant form. She had said: Despite being a human being why do you despair so much? Why don’t you do some work? When I awoke the next day, these words kept loudly echoing in my mind. I don’t know why but immediately went to a bank nearby and got to know that its manager

was my father’s good friend. While talking to me he on his own said: Why don’t you take a bank loan and start your own business? As per his advice I got a loan on the 4th day itself. I opened a cycle parts shop which today is a well known shop in my town. With Mother Gayatri’s grace not only were my problems solved but I got that subtle divine wealth which cannot be compared to all the cosmic material wealth put together.

Mr. Dilipkumar, Sisupur (India)

PROPHETIC INTUITION OF MY LIFE BEING SAVED

I have been daily meditation on Gayatri and with her grace my life has been saved on many occasions. Strangely each time I got dreams much before about my imminent death and because of these prophecies I could save my life. These dreams gave me directions as to how to save my life when a telephone cable gave me a massive shock, during war with Pakistan etc. Apart from this there were other dire incidents which Mother helped me overcome miraculously as per her guidance in dreams.

------------Mansingh Samant Ganachay, Almora (India)

DIVINE INSPIRATION IN A DREAM

My son died due to drowning in water. Hence I was in sheer misery. Later when I slept at night he came in my dreams and described his death. He further promised me that he would be reborn in our family itself. At that time I did not give this dream any importance. And yet at the appointed hour a son was born to me who was in many ways similar to my dead son. His facial features, other habits etc were so similar that I was sure my dream has come true. Ever since then I worship Gayatri regularly. This is because my dead son had advised me in my prophetic dream to pursue daily Gayatri meditation.

------------Mr. Sahdeva, Mungher (India)

I GOT INSPIRED THUS

I was sleeping in the lap of the Goddess of Sleep and in my dream I saw a divine lady. I was very attracted to her divine aura. I embraced her and was thus immersed in ecstatic bliss. This lady gave me blessings for a bright future and also a book titled “Gayatri”. Immediately I got up and on that very day I was wonderstruck to meet my neighbor Mr. Ramdeen who gave me a book called “Gayatri Chalisa” (40 verses). He inspired me to pursue Gayatri practices. I did exactly as advised and today Mother’s grace has given me a life of heavenly bliss.

----------Durga Devi, Jodhpur (Raj., India)

I FOUND THE RIGHT PATH AFTER STRAYING FOR A LONG TIME

From childhood itself I had spiritual leanings. I worked hard so as to get some spiritual experiences and thus performed many spiritual exercises. I studied many spiritual texts, listened to sacred discourses etc but none of my spiritual yearnings were fulfilled. This sort of failure almost made me an atheist. My mind was tense and agitated. Finally a Gayatri devotee inspired me to meditate on Gayatri. I also read the monthly Akhand Jyoti magazine. Within a few days I felt I had attained that spiritual wealth which I had yearned for since boyhood and had eluded my grasp for many years. Along with faith my sense of enterprise bloomed fully. I walked on the path of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advancement. Many a times I was saved from the dire consequences of incurable diseases and other problems. On this great path it is not only my self but others too are marching ahead with zeal.

-----------Nagad Narayan Sharma, Dhurva (Ranchi, India)

THE SUBTLE BENEFICIAL INFLUENCE OF GAYATRI MANTRA

Many days back my brother had died suddenly. Even after death he was not spiritually in good shape because his departed soul was without peace. All this information was given to me in my dreams and he asked me to chant the Gayatri Mantra for his soulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peace. Initially I ignored his request and I said to my self that it is but a dream. And yet this dream repeated again and again and thus I was sure that his soul indeed is in distress. Thus I devotedly commenced Gayatri worship so as to uplift his departed soul. He finally experienced soul peace and thus he was uplifted. Hence my faith in Gayatri became rock solid and today not a day goes by without my meditating on Gayatri. As a result my family life is joyous and peaceful with an atmosphere of selfless love.

------------Purshottamdas gupt, Amla (M.P., India)

A DREAM SAVED MY LIFE

Next day early at dawn I was to travel by bus to a place called Surauli. I completed my packing and went to sleep. In the first half of the night I felt someone was forbidding from traveling next day as planned by me. I woke up from my sleep. Again I went to sleep and again in the latter half of the night I got a dream saying “do not travel tomorrow”. Again when I woke up I could hear nothing but these words loudly ‘speaking’ in my mind. It was very important that I travel. This put me in total doubt. My mind wavered alternately deciding to go and refrain from traveling. Finally the bus’ arrival time came. Hence I rushed to the bus stand but on reaching there I was told that the bus had arrived early and hence left early just 5 minutes back. In the evening I got to know that this bus crashed into a roadside boulder very badly. Even today I cannot forget Mother’s affectionate grace that stopped me from virtually dying.

---------------Sitaram Palta (India)

IN THE LAP OF THE INFINTELY AFFECTIONATE MOTHER GAYATRI

The miraculous and sacred results of Gayatri spiritual practices are neither ‘blind beliefs’ nor are they accidental or ‘chance’ as termed by people whose minds are gross and superficial. In fact there is a spiritual scientific basis behind all these experiences and it helps purify man’s beliefs, faith and trust. As a result of this sanctification devotees undergo many spiritual experiences in their mundane lives too and hence they should be called divinely fortunate.

A PERSON ABOUT TO DROWN FOUND A ‘BOAT’

It was because of very trying situations that loomed like dark clouds in my life which made me desperate and agitated. My life seemed like a harsh penal servitude. It seemed as though my life’s ‘boat’ was hell bent on getting drowned midstream. Under such dire times I got the golden chance of worshipping Gayatri. Along with one pointed meditation I deeply studied Gurudeva’s sacred literature. As a result taints like lack of self belief, despair and inertia were destroyed and they were replaced by a sense of duty towards my family and society at large. Very easily I attained the sacred fruits of devotion. I passed my law exams and started practicing it which gave me a fair bit of fame. I attained people’s cooperation and was given a good status in society. Since my attitude, behavior etc were sacredly transformed all my physical and mental agitations came to a full stop. My financial problems too were overcome optimally. My life marched ahead overcoming all minor problems in between. All the material and spiritual progress made by me is nothing but compassionate Mother Gayatri’s grace.

-----------Advocate Vishnudatt, Baikujhthapur (M.P., India)

DESPITE HEAVY RAIN YAJNA COMPLETED SUCCESFULLY

This is regarding a Yajna conducted in a place called Kasardeeha. After witnessing it anyone would be forced to accept that God and his divine sports (Lilas) certainly exist. After the program at night everyone left for their homes. At that time the sky was clear and cloudless. But at night (3 am) suddenly rain

started pouring. For 1 hour it rained cats and dogs. Water overflowed in the fields nearby. The Yajnashala (hall) too was flooded with water. Since there was no sign of rain stopping all of us were very worried. Since only Mother Gayatri could help us we prayed earnestly for her divine help. While praying thus we started cleaning the Yajna hall hoping that our Yajna proceeds smoothly. While we were mopping the water suddenly stopped pouring down. Just a minute back the sky was dark with ferocious clouds we thought it would rain for at least a few more days, non stop. But lo behold, to our amazement cum joy the sky was blue and crystal clear and it did not rain for the entire day of the Yajna.

------------V.R. Sathvanay, Durg (India)

I GOT INVISIBLE HELP

A 9 pyre (Kundi) Yajna was planned in a place called Pendra and many local people were opposing it vehemently. From the unworthy activities of the opponents it seemed as though the Yajna was doomed to fail. Hence it was nothing short of a miracle that not only was the Yajna completed but that all opposing individuals gladly participated in it. They themselves were amazed by their whole hearted surrender to Gayatri.

------------Shambhuratan Jaiswal (India)

MOTHER MAKES FAITH STEADFAST

There was a time in my life when in the local branch a collective Yajna was arranged. The Yajna was a very gigantic one and hence the volunteers were apprehensive about whether it would conclude successfully. One night prior to the program I dreamt clearly that the Yajna planned was going on smoothly and that there was an aura of divine joy everywhere. Further I could perceive Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infinite grace too. Next day I related this dream to all members. Every member took this dream as Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction to work hard without apprehension. Thus everyone put in tremendous hard work for the Yajna program. It goes without saying that the Yajna was a total success and all volunteers vowed to carry on the holy mission of Gayatri till their last breath.

-----------Rudranath Pandeya Kotmi, Vilaspur (India)

I REALIZED MY TRUE SELF

Previously my inner nature was overshadowed by certain taints. With the result no one helped me and circumstances became dire. Under such a gloomy state I came in contact with revered Gurudeva. As per his guidance I commenced Gayatri devotion and deeply reflected on his sacred literature. In this manner my character reflected more and more wholesome qualities. It resulted in that stupendous bliss which is a boon given only by Almighty God. Indeed I feel very blessed.

------------S.S.Sahu, Balauda (Vilaspur, India)

WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY

Immediately after I got spiritual initiation a question arose in my mind as to what is its Mahatmya or deep import? I started getting older. But the more I matured the more this question became deep. Maybe it was destiny that I met a volunteer of Yug Nirman Yojana Mr. Gopi Vallabh Awasthi. He gave me a book called Gayatri Mahavignan which said that the preceptor’s initiation Mantra is Gayatri Mantra. I got more information regarding this great Mantra from him and since then I chant it regularly. Devotion and meditation helped attract divine grace in my life. Many dire situations have been faced by me devoid of stress and tension. In fact these harsh times instill more faith in my psyche that Gayatri loves us divinely. Many other situations in life made me an unswerving devotee of Mother Gayatri.

------------Madanmohan Saraswat, Jodhpur (India)

I AM IN MOTHER’S LOVING LAP

I came in contact with HH Gurudeva with brother Mansingh’s help. With faith and devotion I worshipped Gayatri and daily studied Gurudeva’s literature. I thus found the true goal and wisdom of life. My worldly problems now were sorted out with its help. I could endure dire situations and solve them with my new found divine wisdom. Many times an unknown power gave me guidance and intuitions. Thus my life is marching ahead both materially and spiritually. Today I lie peacefully in the subtle lap of the affectionate Divine Mother.

-----------Kanhaiyalal Mishra, Jodhpur (India)

I FOUND DIVINE WISDOM

After coming in contact with Gurudeva I commenced Gayatri devotion under his divine eye. Previously I was an avowed atheist. But the touchstone of Gayatri has made me a staunch theist which prompts me to work selflessly for world well being. My life is blissful and serenity.

--------------M.L.Ayran, Mandsaur (India)

MY LIFE’S ROAD BECAME EASY TO WALK ON

Despite being wealthy my mind was full of unrest. I yearned to attain true peace. One day I was given Gurudeva’s literature which I studied deeply. The seeds of faith started sprouting in my soul and with zeal and zest my life’s road became easier to travel on. My life is blissful both materially and spiritually. The noose of despair has been cut asunder and life is now blooming with eternal joy.

----------Mrs, S.Nichat, Janjgir (M.P., India)

IT IS TRULY MY GOOD FORTUNE

It is indeed my good fortune that I met Gurudeva. His powerful protection and superb guidance liberated me from lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chaos, pain and turmoil. No doubt I had to make intense efforts yet true guidance and grace reign supreme. I understood this perfectly. I steered my boat of life in the true direction as given by Gurudeva in his priceless books. If mere efforts give joy imagine how infinitely blissful will be their sacred results?

-------------Deviprasad Chaubey, Gwalior (M.P., India)

I BECAME TWICE BORN (DWIJA)

When I remember my past ways of living life I truly repent and experience intense remorse. In those days my behavior was worse than a ferocious demon. And yet the inspiration I got from reading Gayatri literature and then devotion to Mother induced aversion in me for my tainted thinking. At that time a miraculous episode occurred. My daughter-in-law was ill. She was virtually on her death bed. Everyone feared the worse since there was no hospital nearby. Somehow I remembered that I had some Yajna Bhasma (holy ash) with me. My daughter-in-law swallowed some of it. In a few minutes she felt better and later regained sound health. This episode inspired everyone to worship Gayatri regularly.

-----------Sajjan Panavat, Ghaisundi (Raj., India)

MY STEADFASTNESS TESTED

I was the chief host (Yajman) of a 25 pyre Yajna in our branch. The Yajna had commenced and my self and my husband sat on our Yajna seats (Yajnavedi). At tat time we were told that a very revered family member Mr. Ramdayal Gupt was about to pass away. He was quite ill for the past few weeks and today his condition had deteriorated. I was in a mental turmoil as to whether to give up the Yajna half way or complete it and then go and visit him. Suddenly a divine voice within said: Your steadfastness is being tested. Hence we devotedly continued with the Yajna rites and completed them. Mentally we meditated on mother Gayatri. Finally we got news from home that Mr. Guptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health has become absolutely normal.

-----------Mrs. Shakuntala Gupta, Sakauli (Mah., India)

THE DIVINE EXPERIENCE OF SPIRITUAL PRACTISE (SADHANA)

In Gondal a collective spiritual camp had been planned. At that time 5 people got a divine experience wherein first they saw a small ball of brilliant light which started expanding. Ultimately they felt as though their soul was now an infinite ocean of this divine aura. Hence their character too transformed miraculously. Now they regularly help in all programs of the Mission.

-----------Ashok J. Joshi, Majaywadi (Guj. India)

I WILL REMAIN INDEBTED FOREVER

Never have I tasted even a drop of the peace I experienced in Gurudevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holy presence. I am indebted to him forever for his help, grace, goodwill etc. In this life at least I can never repay my debt to him. It is his sacred influence that has made my life ethical and full of spiritual values.

---------Chintaman Rao Gautam, Balaghat (M.P., India)

THE DIRECTLY VISIBLE FRUITS OF GRACE

The visible fruits of attending the Transformation of the Vital Force Camp are in the form of my active participation in world welfare activities. I love working for the Gayatri Mission and by traveling in many villages we spread the divine wisdom of Gayatri.

---------------Bhanubhai Gadhvi, Baroda (Guj., India)

MOTHER’S GRACE HELPS MY SOUL COSMIC

After returning from the Transformation of the Vital Force Camp I am persisting with those methods daily. It is only with its help that I understood the true goal of human life. Today I realize that working for world welfare is true service to our Almighty Father/Lord. Again it is my good fortune that my husband too is a traveler of this sacred path. No doubt the spiritual practices of the above Camp were intense but then the experiences too were deep and profound. Thus we have attained Holy Gayatri’s grace. None should doubt that true grace of Gayatri inspires her devotees to work for the material and spiritual progress of world beings.

-------------Yashoda Sharma, Kullu (H.P., India)

MOTHER’S GRACE KEPT ON POURING

As per Gurudeva’s advice I am involved in spreading our Missions message. Once he promised me saying: Do not worry about your self, instead work for Gayatri’s sacred cause. Thus Mother will look after all your needs. I developed unswerving faith towards this promise. In this manner my household duties are going on smoothly and I am actively spreading Gayatri’s precepts too. In this manner I worked for Gayatri

and Gayatri worked for my household requirements. My retirement papers were passed without hitch, my eye problem was solved etc and thus Mother helped me always. My daughter wed a very capable groom and many other small/big problems were solved. Truly it is Mother’s blessings that have glorified my life.

------------Sitarm sharma, Vidisha (M.P., India)

I ATTAINED THAT IMPERISHABLE-INFINITE WEALTH

My life was doomed because of dire conditions. I felt my lie was hopeless because of illness, joblessness and other problems. One day I heard about Gurudeva’s divine greatness. With 40 Rupees I left home. Previously I had never been to Mathura. But strangely my legs directed me without prompting on my part to Mathura. I met a stranger in Allahabad and he finally took me to Mathura as though I was his dear relative. Revered Gurudeva inspired me to surrender to Gayatri’s hallowed feet. Before I returned I was given the duty of running a mobile library in my area. This not only took care of my household expenses but that I got the imperishable wealth of wisdom. On this basis I converted my hell-like life into heavenly bliss. I rest in Mother’s lap like a carefree happy child.

-----------Ramchandra Prasad, Pali (Bihar, India)

MOBILE LIBRARY IS A POWERFUL FORM OF DIVINE PROTECTION

Even today after a long time lapse when I remember the terrible accidents I underwent my heart and mind tremble with lots of fear. Three times I escaped death during train accidents. If I had not taken up the sacred duty of a mobile librarian death would definitely have engulfed me. This is my deep faith. I was an official in the Indian Railways. In order to manage time optimally and thus help Gayatri Mission I always carried a mobile library while traveling. Hence Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerful protection always saved me. She indeed is my divine protector.

------------Vishweshwarsingh Badhair, Bina (M.P., India)

IMMERSED IN SERVICE TO THE WORLD

I lived my married life in eat, drink and be merry manner. After my spouse died, my life became a burden. Under such fearful times I came in contact with the Mission. Its goal and wisdom influenced me to walk on the spiritual path. I followed Gayatri spiritual practices regularly. It got transformed into a passion for serving the world. Keeping this in mind I opened a school where even today many students are getting wholesome education. The bliss of serving the world had never been tasted by me previously.

------------Shridevi Yadav, Kataina Hasa (U.P., India)

ONE POINTED GRACE POURED CEASELESSLY

Whenever my life’s boat got entangled in eddies of worldly strife I prayed to Mother Gayatri for help. She like a master boatman helped solve these problems effortlessly. On a few occasions I would have entered the jaws of death during accidents but her grace saw me through. Mother’s blessings are always with me. On this very basis I have volunteered to help spread Gayatri’s sacred wisdom.

--------------N.R. Solanki, Sendhva (M.P., India)

GAYATRI MEDITATION HELPS IN SOUL ADVANCEMENT

A few milestones that indicate spiritual progress are strong vital force, soul sanctity and prophetic dreams. Generally all Sadhaks (devotees) get these profound experiences.

HELP AT EVERY STEP

I resolved (Sankalpa) that I would attend a Brahmavarchas Research Institute Camp only if Gurudeva appears in my dream. It was after reading his books that I ardently worshipped Gayatri daily. Finally one night he gave me his Darshan in my dream. In the dream I spoke to him about my financial woes and he said: Make arrangements to come to me and leave the rest to me. Truly very easily my expenses for the journey were mysteriously taken care of. For the first time I reached Shantikunj. While meeting Gurudeva, that dream again and again cropped up in my mind. The saint I had seen in my dream only so far was actually Gurudeva whom I was face to face for the very first time. It was Gayatri’s grace that saved my brother’s and daughter’s life. Consequently my devotional faith in Gayatri waxed day in and day out.

-----------Jaipal Singh, Durg (India)

I ACTED EXACTLY AS PER THE INSPIRATION RECEIVED

My mother was generally ill. My father took advice from many doctors, but it was futile. After commencing Gayatri devotion my father performed 2 Anushthans for mother’s illness. Truly she started regaining sound health. This inspired me also to meditate on Gayatri steadfastly and thus my life is calm and serene. Keeping in mind divine inspirations I started penning sacred quotes and am sure I will complete this collection soon.

NO ATTRACTION FOR MIRACLES

I COMMENCED Gayatri worship to get a job and also her blessings. I applied in 2 companies but despite existing vacancies I was not given those posts. While returning home dejectedly I wondered whether to put faith in Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divine power is futile. Next day suddenly I got a telegram which said the job was mine. I repented that just yesterday I doubted Gayatriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s omnipotence. Till today I have experienced her grace time and again. With this grace I rebuilt that temple about which it was said that those who tried doing so previously were engulfed by death. I always ask Mother for devotion, divine energy, dispassion for illusory attractions etc.

A SENSE OF ONENESS IN MY HOUSEHOLD LIFE

Previously our family lacked love and affection for one another. A Yajna was planned in Reeva. I helped in it. After that a wonderful change set in and my father poured his affection on me. Since then my faith has become firm. I have resolved to devote my future life span to Mother Gayatri and Father Yajna.

ATTAINED A STRONG WILL POWER/SOUL FORCE

A very frail woman like me has attained so much will power via Gayatri meditation that I fearlessly visit villages for Missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tasks and pilgrimages too. I will repay Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt by distributing her photograph in every village.

A LIFE LIKE RUSTED IRON CONVERTED TO PRECIOUS GOLD

In my family life there are many dire instances where Gayatri protected us like her very beloved children. That Mother worries about her children (creatures) so much has been witnessed by me off and on. Today my faith is so firm that I do not even doubt her protection even for a moment. Today my mind revolves on only one aspect and that is to spread her teachings the world over.

-------------Harikishen Maheshwari, Kuver Gaanv (India)

LIBERATED FROM DESIRES

Gayatri devotion has filled my soul with such infinite cosmic love that no more desires are left to be fulfilled. The only selfless yearning is that I become capable of serving world beings until my last breath.

ESTABLISHING TWO SCHOOLS

In this era word youth is said to be atheistic in nature. Maybe unruliness is its cause. I too was undisciplined by nature but when I commenced Gayatri meditation all unwholesome psychic taints disappeared from their roots. Now my heart oozed with spiritual bliss. As a result with the help of generous donations I started at a very young age, a Higher Education Institute for girls in my village. Further we also established a good school for primary education. Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace saw to it that today we have a group of 60 dedicated volunteers. Amongst them are also senior citizens.

A DANGEROUS SITUATION WARDED OFF

My son was running high fever. There was a problem in getting medical aid. I prayed to Mother for help. She heard it very affectionately because in a few minutes this fever suddenly disappeared and my son was alright. In the same way my shop was not doing good business but the day I commenced Gayatri worship my sales figures soared and so did my profit. Today no harm befalls me.

SAVED BY THE SKIN OF MY TEETH

There is a long history of performing Gayatri worship under Gurudeva’s protection and their miraculous experiences. If all of it were written a gigantic book will have to be published. Mother Gayatri’s grace is experienced ceaselessly. In the June 1978 camp I headed for the station to book return tickets for train travel. Midway a Sardarji’s motor cycle toppled me onto the road. The accident was so severe that if not death at least my hands, legs and scalp would have been pounded to pulp. And yet I actually felt an invisible power holding me in its ‘lap’ and thus I escaped with minor bruises. I not only completed my train reservation booking but attended the entire camp. Most definitely Mother converted a deadly accident into a very superficial one and if this were not so I would have been dead by now.

JOBLESSNESS RAN AWAY ON ITS OWN

My husband was fed up with his jobless state. One day when he read Gurudevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book on Gayatri worship my husband felt he indeed had attained something priceless. He had only seen Gurudevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photo. Looking upon him as our revered preceptor both of us daily meditated on Gayatri. One night Gurudeva appeared in my dream and asked: Daughter! Is there any problem? I said that my husband has no job in hand. Gurudeva promised that the following 17th January my husband would get a job. Immediately I woke up from my dream. Later both of us were amazed when exactly on this day my husband got a job as a teacher in a school. What was even more mind-boggling was that he had not even applied for this job formally. Without him applying the principal called my husband and gave him the appointment letter.

A LAST CHANCE TO TAKE PART IN THE DIVINE PLAY OF THE INCARNATION OF DIVINE WISDOM

This world created by Almighty God has 2 aspects viz. creativity like apt management, beauty etc along with destruction in the form of downfall etc. Despite this creation and evolution for the better predominate. Despite natural calamities, creatures like worms, bacteria etc dying every moment one reality stands out and that is we see flowers blooming, luscious fruits growing on trees etc which adds to the creative grandeur of this world. It will always last much longer than any form of destruction. In order that creativity continues undisturbed destruction must follow creation and vice versa. For example the sun rises and sets in the evening, creatures are born and die one day etc.

Man should wholeheartedly accept that he will have to face dire and destructive situations on the one hand and others full of creative joy. Hence he must with a balanced mind not become gloomy when sorrow comes his way, nor go overboard when joy is his destined lot. Today your new born child will go through childhood, youth and finally old age. And when he/she dies again it is a golden opportunity for a fresh new body. Thus destruction (death) follows creation (birth) which is a continuous cosmic process. Everyday we experience the cycle of day and night. Do we despair when darkness manifests at night? Never! Because we know that dawn and hence daylight is but a few hours away. In the same way when dark situations envelope our world we must not despair because a radiant future is about to manifest at the appointed hour.

In the annals of world history world humanity has been witnesses of many a trying times and dire situations. To the extent that people asked: Is this the final doomsday for our world? And yet the Creator has always vowed emphatically that never will He allow total annihilation of this world of grandeur along with man and His other beloved creatures. Divinity incarnates (Avatar) so as to ward off destructive situations and replace them with a new vigor of divine creativity. In these days this is exactly what is happening. Today people are on the verge of losing faith in god’s omnipotence because of strife, terror, dishonesty, crime etc having a stranglehold in our daily lives the world over. Today’s times are extraordinarily dire. In this phase of spiritual darkness awakened and wise men/women must have indomitable faith that within the next decade something extraordinary will take place which will transform our world in a radiant manner.

The onus lies on followers of spiritual principles and great religious leaders of the world to transform the creative energy of world humanity in a divinely radiant manner. In that the divine sentiments of all laymen must be nurtured and tapped to the fullest. Inaction and apathy must be weeded out from their roots so that the seeds of divine faith start sprouting forth. We must eradicate unwholesome and vile elements so that divine glory and radiance prevails in every nook and corner of the world. It is a well accepted fact that when creative principles weaken the soul drowns in ignorance and man experiences material poverty too. At such times even wise men succumb to the fleeting lures of sense pleasures in unethical ways. Thus vileness virtually remains unchallenged and thus wantonly sells its wares of crime, undesirable behavior and despicable actions. To a great extent today’s times too are of this kind. In that creativity is almost ‘dead’ and destruction has taken over with full force. The world over there are

communal clashes, caste based hatred, criminal leanings, no respect for ethics/ideals etc. Politically and socially too we are indeed leading unwholesome lives which forces the layman to distrust just about anything. When ethics, integrity etc are on the decline and crime, lowliness etc are honored the question definitely arises as to what is going to happen to this world?

We all are very fortunate to have taken birth in glorious India. Although we have seen dark periods for almost 1500 years yet our root culture remains intact. We have that touch stone called Gayatri philosophy and Yajna. Hence there is no dearth of faith in our psyche. In the past 6 centuries of Indian history great saints like Kabir have taken birth one after another. This statistic of so many saints manifesting in India is of an extraordinary kind. Some of them nurtured devotion to God, some took up social issues, some encouraged the path of selfless action (Karma Yoga), some asked their followers to give up despair and work for world welfare with zest and some performed austerities on their own for transforming the subtle world which would then manifest as radiance externally. Our revered preceptor Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya was born in the first decade of the 20th century in Uttar Pradesh, India. His village was Anvalkheda near Agra city. He is said to be the incarnation of Gayatri and shared the priceless pearls of divine wisdom with one and all. Thus he was a divine beacon light that instilled hope in the hearts of all regarding advent of a bright 21st century.

At that time the wisdom of Super Power Gayatri Mantra was virtually in a sleep like state. It is highly probable that because of fundamentalism only Brahmin males were allowed to chant the Gayatri Mantra. Thus Gayatri Mantra was not given due importance for ones material/spiritual well being. It is at that point that Gurudeva took up the sacred mission of spreading the Gayatri wisdom in all households without any bars like caste, creed, gender, financial status etc. Millions of people now chant the Gayatri Mantra regularly and lead lives of material prosperity that have their roots in spiritual wisdom. Gayatri in her divine formless aspect transforms the thinking of aspirants in a divine manner and thus has incarnated in this material cosmos of ours. In this manner the International Gayatri Family or All World Gayatri Parivar came into being for both the spiritual and material well being of world humanity and world beings. Thus was commenced the sacred mission of elevating the psyche of world humanity in a sacred manner, so as to realize the age old dream of great leaders and thinkers of the world i.e. A BEAUTIFUL BORDERLESS WORLD.

Every alphabet of the 24 alphabets of the Gayatri Mantra is a ray if divine light. They have all those seeds that help the human psyche transform into divinity and hence sacredness. The sun is the deity of Gayatri and is known for its 7 faces, 7 horses, 7 weapons and 7 rays. And yet it predominates with the vital force (Prana Shakti) of Gayatri called Savita. The 24 letters of Gayatri Mantra contain both Ridhi and Sidhi i.e. material and spiritual prosperity. One can understand its deep import by studying the profound meaning of each of these 24 letters. True supremacy can only be attained when one prospers materially in this world when it has a strong foundation of spiritual well being and imbibing of human values, ethics, integrity and a sense of service to world beings. Material supremacy without spiritual values is a sure shot recipe of leading a life of downfall and sorrow. The sacred mission of Prajna Avatar (Wisdom Incarnation) is to encourage mankind to prosper scientifically, materially etc but that they must be deeply rooted in spiritual values that usher in well being of the entire world. Prajna Avatar is not a divine human being like Krishna, Ram, Christ etc. Instead it is a strong cosmic wave of a Divine Super Power (Shakti). The more any individual the world over manifests this Divine Power the more he/she will be responsible for ushering a radiant 21st century full of material and spiritual well being.

How can a Divine Power which is beyond name and form transform this era in a radiant manner? The answer will be actually witnessed in the near future by one and all the world over. This very formless Divine Super Power will induce world humanity to renounce psychic taints like anger, greed, lust, hatred etc and instead imbibe wholesome qualities like oneness of soul, cosmic love, sense of service to all, integrity and ethics. Twenty six Ashwamedha Yajnas conducted so far have given a fair bit of proof for this wonderful transformation. Thousands have given up lowly actions and behavior. Many have renounced alcohol, drug and cigarette addictions and instead have imbibed divinity of soul (60 to 100 million people). They have resolved seriously to give up inner taints and imbibe human and divine qualities in their soul. On this very basis our era can be transformed so as to usher in Satyuga or the Golden Era. It does not matter too much if people have faith in this or otherwise because when the world history of the next couple of decades will be written it will be clear that the world definitely has been transformed in a sacred/divine manner. And the credit of this transformation will be given to none other than the Prajna Avatar or the formless Divine Super Power spoken of in the above lines.
