    H idden Powers of MantraH idden Powers of Mantra

    y Power of M antraThe power of chant of a mantra is purely spiritual in nature.It is a kind of conscious energy that influences body, mind & inner self (attitude)Generates specific vibrations in the subliminal environment & cosmic domains of

    consciousness

    y Importance of sonic patternSpecific compilation of syllables and sonic patter of a mantra are of crucialimportance.The syllables used in a mantra are like coded representation of sonic energy latentlystored in it.Enunciation or chanting specific combination of specific syllables in specific order generates specific quanta of energy that could be of manifold higher order thannuclear energy

    D o you know ?? - Mantras were invented by the rishis the scientists of Shabda Brahm-Nada Brahm- as the coded formulae and subtle sonic devices to generate and usespecific effects of the sublime power of Shabda.)

    H idden Powers of MantraH idden Powers of Mantray Dual Effects

    Jap of a mantra instantaneously generates dual effects one in inner world andother in externalFire burns whatever is inside it and heats up the fireplace and its surrounding area.Similarly, continuous chanting of a mantra not only titillates specific extrasensoryenergy centers, nerve bundles and ganglions inside chanters body but alsogenerates specific vibrations in the surrounding space that spreads in all directions

    and influences the subtle environment and other conscious beings too

    y Subtle Vs. GrossThe power of sublimated/subtle elements is always enormous as compared to thatof gross. Power of steam (subtle) is far more than water or ice (gross). Then what tosay about sublime powers of supreme energy of Shabda.This is what make the mantras so unique and endowed with infinite power to vibrateand transmute the spiritual as well as physical realms of life.

    H idden Powers of MantraH idden Powers of Mantray Cyclic motion

    As verified in scientific labs, continuous cyclic motion produces enormous power.By resonance, sound produced by march of a troop can even break a bridge.Similarly, The energy generated by chanting of mantra in a specific rhythm atconstant amplitude is also quite intense. This conjugated with the impulsive force offocused consciousness and vital energy stimulates the otherwise latent extrasensoryhormonal glands and power -nuclei in the body

    y R ate of ProgressThe attainment of supernormal bequests depends on the mental and spiritualmakeup of the chanter and his engrossment in disciplined mode of chanting.For ex., a radio catches only those frequencies for which it is tuned. The continuity &

    quality of reception would correspond to unperturbed linkage & sensitivity &perfection of internal components

    W hy Chant ? H ow to Chant ?W hy Chant ? H ow to Chant ?y Purpose

    As body & clothes get clean after rubbing with soap. Similarly, chanting is theprocess of cleansing /refining our inner self/attitude.To awaken hidden divinity within and inculcate divine virtues by simultaneously

    meditating over them

    y 4 stagesRepetitionRetentionRecallRecognition (to put into practice & change ones lifestyle

    y Transformation of EgoThe chanter while chanting any mantra should meditate upon the meaning of themantra and believe that divine qualities are being kindled within him and he shouldtry to bring a transformation in his lifestyle by believing that he is not an ordinary souland there is no room for any undesirability within him.

    y Not just bead rotationThe process of chanting should not be only limited to just bead rotation andmechanical chanting.To reap full and real benefits of chanting, meditation is a very important aspect

    which is generally ignored by chanters who just worry about finishing a fixed number of rounds of bead.

    M echanical chanting although will yield results of its own but those are insignificantas compared to chanting with correct mindset.

    W hy Gayatri Mantra ?W hy Gayatri Mantra ?y Scientific aspects

    Unperturbed enunciation of this mantra for a continuous stretch of time would alsogenerate powerful currents that could induce divine effects by vibrating all subtleglands, ganglions, nerve bundles, neuronal passages and extrasensory energycenters in the physical, subtle and astral bodies.Scientific experiments reveal that chanting of Gayatri M antra stimulates emission ofsupernormal brain impulses that generate specific aura around the chanter

    The sound waves that are created, when Gayatri M antra is said, is of the shape of aring. It rises up with great speed, through the medium of ether and goes towards Sun,and after touching the surface of the Sun, it returns back along with the powers ofSun, like Heat, Light, electrical and other powers which are very subtle. Thus theM antra combined with all the powers of the Sun re -enters the subtle body of thePracticer. The stronger the will -power and emotion attached with the M antra, theStronger is the attraction of these powers of the Sun. If the M antra is said with the fullconcentartion of M ind, it can make impossible, possible. *

    W hy Gayatri Mantra ?W hy Gayatri Mantra ?y Views

    Theosophist scholar M r. Leadveater attributes distinctive significance to thecollective chanting of Gayatri M antra in his book M an - Visible, Invisible . The sonicwaves along with the sublime currents of Sabd sakti produced by the chanting ofthe mantra propagate upwards in a spiral shape and expand up to the heart of Sun(the deity of Gayatri M antra). The echo of these is reflected back and bestows thesupernatural energy and flow of prana and divine brilliance of Sun on the body,

    mind and inner self of the chanter.

    Arthur Koestler, a renowned thinker, philosopher in an interview to Blitz magazinesaid commenting on the nuclear war The great Gayatri M antra is more powerfulthan thousands of atom bombs. If all of India collectively chants this mantra, thepower aroused thereby would annul all hazards of nuclear warfare and protect theglobe.

    Individual Vs Collective EffortIndividual Vs Collective Efforty Importance of United efforts

    United efforts bear unique importance.Tiny tips of dry grass knitted together form a strong ropeSunrays are bearable when spread on earths surface; when focused together at apoint via convex lens, they kindle fire instantaneouslyGathering a group of wickers makes a broom

    y 1+1 = 11Power of collective endeavors is far more significant in the fields of consciousness

    and spirituality.Grouping of inert object with another gives two objects whereas join venture of two

    active, talented persons may work like that of 1+1 =11 or even moreEnthusiasm & joy generated by combined faith of pilgrims is truly remarkable.O rganized move of larger congregation of people of compatible ideologies

    motivated for a common aim creates intense ambience of greater influence

    Significance of Collective PrayerSignificance of Collective Prayery Prayer

    Psychologically, prayer is said to inculcate inducing instructions that graduallyinvigorate the potentials of mind.Intensity & impact of these inner inscriptions of prayer rise in proportion with thepiety and depth of the devotees intrinsic faith.These have reach in the hidden folds of mind and thus are effective in eradication ofpsychiatric complications, mental weakness, tension, worries, illusions etc.

    y Unity in prayer Unity, conjugation and superposition always multiply and magnify compatibleeffects. Same holds true for collective prayer.Namaj of M ohammedans, M ass Prayer of Christians, Retreat practices of armymen all signify this fact

    y

    Emergency situationsGroups of people, societies, nations as whole also take shelter of collective prayer attimes of emergency or calamitous adversities.Bells of temples, churches, mosques, gurudwaras and all other shrines ring with massparticipation in prayers in war times.This is the last asylum of hope for mankind in critical moments of helplessness.

    R ole of monkeys & beers in battle of Shri Ram and R avan illustrates necessity andimportance of mass movement at grass root.R am and Lakshman were divine incarnations; drying up a sea and ruining the reignof R avana was no difficulty for them but this could not have served the real purposeof arousing the collective power of the masses that was the need of that era.

    y Shri KrishnaLord Krishna - manifestation of the Almighty in human form, had liberated the worldfrom cruel autocracy of Kansa, Jarasandha and Shishupal at very young age.He could have ruined the perverted Kauravas and their gigantic army in fewmoments but he preciously strove for the unity of the armed forces of the distributedstates in historic war of M ahabharata.

    In his childhood too, he encouraged collective participation of masses of Gokul for lifting up the Govardhan hill despite being able to do so in his little finger
