True meaning of word Manthra has been given bellow
Mananat trananachyaiva
madrupasyavabodhanat.
Mantraityuchyate samyak
madadhishthanat priye.
MEANING: Mantra is that which when deeply cogitated
over helps us understand the true nature of this world that liberates us from
the bondage to this sorrowful material world and that which urges us to walk
the path of true success.
Similarly the meaning of Japa has been given
as follows:
Jakaro janma vicchedaha pakaraha papa
nashakaha.
Tasmajjaya iti prokto janma papa vinashakaha.
……………..Yama
MEANING: The meaning of ‘Ja’ is stopping of
birth and ‘Pa’ means destruction of sins. Hence Japa means that which destroys
our sins and stops the vicious cycle of repeated birth and death.
In the above 2 verses if we focus our
attention on the meaning of Mantra Japa it becomes clear that the fruits of
chanting Mantras is that the devotee gets clear wisdom of the nature of this
world. The devotee clearly now realizes that the cause of dragging the soul
that is supremely radiant, oozing with divine greatness and glory and that is
imperishable, into the present demeaned downfallen condition are sins gathered
from innumerable lifetimes. But ceaseless Mantra chanting by sanctifying these
sins renders the inner soul personality so sacredly pure and brilliant as a
result of which the devotee instead of get ensnared in the net of vicious cycle
of repeated birth and death attains the eternal bliss of immortality.
If we ponder with an ordinary viewpoint it
seems that behind the meaning of Mantra and Japa detailed above only a
psychological direction has been hinted at. Yet if we dive deep into the
science of ‘Gati’ and ‘Shabda’ it becomes clear that when from any particular
standpoint energy is imagined in reality it is the manifestation of nourishing
energy due to Japa. Lest we get information regarding all round holistic
utility of this energy then in actuality the devotee can attain those types of
miracles that is not possible for all and sundry to attain under just about any
situation.
Those who are adept regarding the science of
dynamo know that it is only because of ceaseless rotation of the motor that
electrical power is generated. Lest this rotation of the motor in the dynamo
comes to a halt that very moment electrical power generation stops. Every
planet, galaxy etc of this gigantic infinite cosmos hangs in space. It is quite
dumbfounding that even if a small pile of mud is thrown on earth it just does
not hang in the sky yet such humungous sized galaxies hang in the sky above.
For lay people this fact may be astounding yet for science students it becomes
a topic of deep research and not that of wonderment. It is only on the basis of
deep curiosity or Jijnasa that scientists have understood that due to a very
swift rotational movement a type of force/energy emerges and it is called
Centrifugal Force. It is this force that ties galaxies, planets etc to their
well demarcated path and axis. There is a mythological tale wherein once a
demon called Hiranyaksha unearthed this deep mystery. If at the point where
this energy gets centered comes under ones control then galaxies can be transported
to even very far off regions. Thus on imbibing this knowledge demon Hiranyaksha
robbed entire planet earth. Is this tale true? This is definitely another topic
of discussion yet this demon had definitely understood the deep import of the
energy emitted by its rotational movement. Lest this was not true this world
could not function even for 1 day.
Not only this energy of mobility but that from
this swift rotation a type of sound echoes forth too called ‘roar’. This echo
is different in each and every planet-galaxy and its combined cosmic sound
comes into being. Scientists infer that it is via this combined cosmic sound
that the rhythmic nature and control of a major portion of the world’s
consciousness is due to it. Lest this energy was absent everywhere would rein
lifelessness, eerie void and dark gloom.
In every rotational movement dwells this type
of nourishing power and echo generation. A giant wheel in a fair that swings
children sitting in it in an ordinary state moves in a circular periphery of
about 20-25 feet. Yet in comparison to the fear harbored of children falling
down from this swinging giant wheel, children experience a kind of tickling the
joy. It is but the miracle of this Centrifugal Force that after filling water
in a small metal pot tied to a rope the pot is rotated in a circular movement,
then despite the open mouth of the pot facing down towards the ground, water
does not spill out of it. Farmers in villages in order to shoo away birds
eating their crop use a sling in which is placed a pebble. Thus when this sling
is rotated faster than ordinary speed so as to release the pebble placed in it,
this pebble gets imbued with a much greater capacity to target these birds.
Recently in New Delhi-India a terrible cyclone erupted which created havoc like
terror everywhere. This was nothing but the fact that wind there had started
moving rotationally with terrifying frenzied speed. The relation of Mantra Japa
or chanting in a certain manner too is conjoined to this swift rotational
movement. As a result such a circle or Chakravyuh emerges from the well
woven words of Mantras that by moving speedily in a well defined circular path
returns to the Mantra chanting devotee. While returning it is accompanied by
such a powerful army of thoughts and sacred sentiments present in Mantras that
can be termed inspiration of Mantra’s deity, invisible divine help or miracle
of Mantra Power. Yet what happens is that slowly but surely this energy starts
controlling the life of the Mantra chanting devotee. In tandem with
the inner personality the more the devotee’s faith, inner sanctity and
sacredness increases this effect is that much clearer. In a few days itself,
Mantra Japa or chanting, results in this energy merging with the consciousness
of the devotee. Hence the devotee gets dreams of future events that are yet to
take place, invisible help etc. The more this state becomes profound results
are that much clearer and it bestows both eternal bliss and zest.
Super Mantra Gayatri possesses one more
specialty wherein a prayer is made via it to Almighty god for giving the
devotee the boon of a sacred brilliant intellect, wisdom and divine aura. This
special quality manifests from the special ‘circle’ created due to the
resounding echo emitted by 24 important regions of the 24 alphabets of Super
Mantra Gayatri. In this manner a 2 fold reaction immediately manifests in the
Mantra chanting devotee. It means that the devotee accrues benefits of Mantras
aiding in the unveiling of the mysteries of this cosmos, Mantra Japa destroying
our sins and liberation from the painful vicious cycle of birth and death.
Along with this the devotee attains worldly wealth/prosperity, power and
various means in such a manner that neither does the devotee stray in the world
and neither does he get inwardly attached to material grandeur. Since this type
of benefit cannot be accrued by any other Mantra, Super Mantra Gayatri has been
given a prime spot in Indian Culture.
At the beginning of this literature while
giving the true meaning of Mantra it was said that Mantra is that which aids in
unearthing the true nature of this world. The cyclone of sound energy emerging
from regular Japa or chanting of Super Mantra Gayatri circumambulates this
infinite humungous cosmos. In this journey those waves or vibrations that run
ahead they ooze with the sacred sentiment of ‘Dhiyaha’ element (sharp pious
intellect) in the form of a prayerful request to Almighty God. When this sound
energy after circumambulating the ellipsoid of this cosmos returns, those
thoughts, inspirations etc roaming in space of very high sacred stature
harbored by previous successful people along with Mantra chanting, accompanied
by magnetically attracted sacred sentiment waves return and enter the devotee’s
brain. In a Gayatri devotee quite suddenly sometimes such thoughts emerge in
the mind that aids him in overcoming a dangerous situation and inspiring him to
succeed in it. The devotee himself does not understand from where this great
inspiring thought has come from yet this very science of sound and Mantras is
its cause. As a result the Gayatri devotee gets extraordinary prophetic dreams,
rare sounds are heard, hair standing on end (Romanch) and Darshan or vision of
divine radiant light. In this process less the mental state of the devotee is
such that his inner and outer effort never weakens while uprooting mental
taints with a powerful resolve and egging the psyche to march ahead on the path
of great sacred tasks, then in a very short time span the devotee starts
experiencing the miraculous benefits of Super Power Gayatri meditation and
worship based spiritual practices.
The influence of sacred sensitive sentiments
blooming in Mantra chanting attains the capability of unveiling such hidden
mysteries of this humungous infinite cosmos that is beyond the ken of the
imagination of a lay mundane brain. Lest this was the case the highly educated
class also would have got filled with those types of spiritual experiences. Yet
what is noted is that the so called thinking and highly educated class the
world over are unable to cut asunder the bondage of this sorrowful material
world. But those Gayatri devotees entangled in this world of Maya or spiritual
darkness are capable of manifesting high stature soul energy despite being
either illiterate or not highly educated.
Despite Mantras brimming with so much energy
we must not forget its scientific foundation. Science means inclusion of
mathematics and calculation of principles or theories. It can be called a well
defined lawfulness also. In it along with the devotee’s inner purity it is
required that he daily does Gayatri Japa at an appointed time. Along with
chanting at an appointed time Japa chanting must be done with proper Swaras or
tone. No doubt some results do accrue despite chanting Mantras waywardly i.e.
either fast, slowly, with lethargy and sometimes with alertness yet these
results shall be hazy and complex. The reason why we are advised to chant
Mantras using a rosary/Mala that while chanting the time space or interval
between 2 Mantras must be same and not uneven. Ordinarily in 1 hour 10-11
rosaries can be completed of Mantra chanting. Hence a watch also can help us in
rendering our chanting well regulated and disciplined. Yet to attain cent
percent benefits of Gayatri Japa every day we must chant it at a particular
time demarcated for it, at one clean sacred spot and do this regularly. If due
to some unforeseen reason the place demarcated to chant Mantras has to be
changed then as much as is possible at least chant these at the particular time
demarcated for it.
Via methodical Mantra Japa chanting the
experiences and thinking of the devotee becomes so widespread that the world’s
true nature can be clearly grasped. Material benefits are such akin to when
leaving for pilgrimage even if some required material is bought in some city
its importance remains ordinary. Maybe we get pleased yet the root benefit
definitely is of the soul getting transformed into divine cosmic consciousness.
Those who attain this benefit in reality become a Jivanmukta or liberated while
yet alive. Truly such a person’s life attains glorious self fulfillment.
