Miraculous attainments through Gayatri meditation (Gäyatrï Sädhanä Ke Pratyaksha Chamatkär): Vangamaya Vol-11
The Gäyatrï Mantra inspires righteous intellect and elevates prudence and devotion. It is a universal prayer and the supreme mantra of all ages. Chhandogya Upnishada describes the existence, expansion and activities of the world as a reflection of the eternal vibrations of Gäyatrï (Mantra). According to Adi Shankaracharya , “Gäyatrï represents the limitless Brahm—- eternal, omnipresent, absolute existence of Thee….”. As per the Vrahadaranyakopanishada—- “One, who realizes and attains the essence of the knowledge of Gäyatrï in life, becomes Omniscient and Omnipotent”. The Sädhanä of (spiritual endeavors of realization of ) Gäyatrï bestows immense boons on a true devotee and arouses the divine element existing in his individual self.
The origin of the divine culture and philosophy of ancient times has been attributed to the Gäyatrï Mantra. The Indian rishis of yore—- who are honored as perfect beings, had devoted their lives to the Sädhanä of Gäyatrï Mantra for the ultimate realization and spiritual refinement of the inner self and attainment of divine potentials. Gäyatrï Sädhanä has been an integral part of the lives of the spiritual saints and sages of the later ages too.
Pt. Shri Ram Sharma Acharya has been the most eminent devotee and spiritual master of Gäyatrï Sädhanä in the recent times. Every dimension of his life had unified with this sacred spiritual endeavor of the highest kind. The divine sentiments, saintly compassion, sagacious intellect, absolute knowledge, superb eloquence, perfect creativity and enormous altruist services of this great man appeared to be in tune with the vibrations and inspirations of the Gäyatrï Mantra. He dedicated the supernormal attainments of the Gäyatrï Sädhanä for the welfare and spiritual elevation of millions of other people and endeavored propagating the knowledge of Gäyatrï to enlighten the masses.
That Gäyatrï Sädhanä indeed bestows miraculous blessings and boons—- was authentically advocated by him in scientific light. The present volume is a compilation of his thorough study, experiments, experiences and conclusions on this aspect. In his words—- “During my long term efforts of propagating the knowledge of devotional practices (Upäsana) of Gäyatrï Sädhanä I have had interactions with many great devotees who have been blessed by its divine grace. Thousands of people have been encouraged and guided by me along this path; those who sincerely continued their Sädhanä with unperturbed devotion and determination have been endowed with miraculous benefits. They regard these as the boons of the divine mother Gäyatrï. Although, the positive effects and astonishing attainments by Gäyatrï Sädhanä occur through the subtle scientific process at deeper domains of consciousness, the devotional sentiments of gratitude towards Thy power are advisable in order to maintain humility and dedicated sincerity of mind—- which are necessary for the consistent advancement of the Sädhanä”.
Acharya Sharma has cited authentic examples of divine attainments through Gäyatrï Sädhanä with the help of excerpts from ancient scriptures and by reporting the live experiences—- during different time periods of human history, of the spiritual masters, great personalities and many ordinary people from different walks of the society. Incidents of miraculous transmutation of the personalities of Gautam, Dhruva, Mahatma Anand Swami, Kathiyawadi Baba, Siddha Booti Baba, Madhavacharya, etc., by Gäyatrï Sädhanä and the experiences and views of Swami Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Vivekanand, Ravindra Nath Tagore, Lokamanya Tilaka, Mahatma Gandhi, William Magnere, Arthur Koestler, etc, are worth mentioning in this context. The volume covers all these in detail.
The revered head of the Arya Samaja, Anand Swami has expressed his experiences and accomplishments during Gäyatrï Sädhanä in a book entitled “Anand Gayatri Katha”. Acharya Sharma has elucidated his own experiences and spiritual attainments through Gäyatrï Sädhanä in his autobiography and several of his books on the Science and Philosophy of Gäyatrï Mantra. Readers would also find the essence of the first-hand experiences of both these great personalities in the present volume.
Immediate effects of Gäyatrï Upäsana include—- cultivation of self-confidence and fearlessness in the Sädhaka (devotee) and gradual illumination of his intellect, power of decision-making and sense of responsibility and purification of the inner cores of mind. As a result, the devotee’s worldly life too begins to progress well at personal, professional and social levels. Further advancement of the Sädhanä with increasing devotion awakens the hidden talents and divine sentiments and opens the doors for materialistic as well as spiritual development. This implies the eternal validity of the following vedic hymn—-
” Om Stutä Mayä Vardä, Vedamätä Prachodayantäm
Pävmäni Dwijänäm, Äyuh, Pränam, Prajäm, Pashum,
Kïrtim, Dravinam, Brahmvarchasam
Mahyam Dattwä Brajata Brahmlokam || ”
That “Gäyatrï bestows good health, vitality, longevity, wealth with grace, glorious success, co-operation, love, intellectual elevation and divine culmination of the self”—- can be verified by everybody by sincerely practicing Gäyatrï Sädhanä in day-to-day life with intrinsic faith….. Nothing could be more authentic then self-experience…..
The highest level spiritual endowments described as ashta siddhi and nava nidhï are natural consequences of progress in Gäyatrï Sädhanä. At initial stage the righteous progress of this Sädhanä is reflected in the serene charm, impressive voice, brilliance of eyes, glow of the aura around the face and the body. Clarity of thoughts, trenchancy of wisdom, intellectual talents, creativity and prudence arouse automatically in the Sädhaka as he (or she) matures in the Sädhanä. Most importantly, the Sädhaka (devotee) begins to feel the presence of divine power in the inner self which educes immense strength and peace in his mind to face all adversities and ups and downs of life with stable faith and patience. His inner voice forcibly cautions him against every immoral activity and thought and guides ideal path in the moment of difficulty and dilemma.
The japa (rhythmic enunciation with deep meditation) of Gäyatrï Mantra is an integral part of Gäyatrï Sädhanä. This helps refine the Sädhaka’s voice and leads to its subtle transmutation into the extrasensory divine voice. Boons or curses expressed in this sublime voice indeed come true. Further awakening of the inner potentials gradually bestows the supernormal powers of premonition, afflatus, telepathy, clairvoyance and prophecy. Activation and sublime transformation of unconscious and super conscious minds of such a Sädhaka links his conscious mind with divine impulses….
In the above state, the Sädhaka—whether awaken, asleep or in trance, can receive cosmic signals and divine messages. Transmission of his vital energy or mental vibrations into other beings becomes as easy for him as if one is handing over some physical items to the other. The atmosphere surrounding these spiritually empowered personalities also becomes serene and remains charged with some kind of divine influence.
Sincere and determined efforts in the appropriate direction take one closer to the goal. Spiritual endeavors are no exceptions. This seems to be more true and certain in case of Gäyatrï Sädhanä. The present volume serves as an authentic evidence for this cause. This will acquaint the readers with the apparent boons of Gäyatrï Sädhanä—- experienced and acquired by thousands of ordinary persons. The nectar of the eternal divine power of Gäyatrï is for every body. Each one of us can be blessed by enormous attainments in materialist, mental, intellectual and spiritual domains of life with the help of devoted Gäyatrï Sädhanä.
