GAYATRI MANTRA CHANTING AND ITS CONGREGATIONAL POWER

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

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

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

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

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

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

Like the act of rubbing, the other act is cyclic movement. Over here too energy is created. When the
wheels of machines move speedily, they generate their own kind of power. The machines of electricity,
engines of oil etc. are constructed in a circular manner that helps generate cyclic movement. Over here
this cyclic movement is repeated again and again with speed. The stars, galaxies etc. revolve and rotate
around their axis. As a result the force of attraction is generated amongst them and with this bond with
other stars, galaxies etc., they hang in mid-space and attain revolutional energy and magnetic potential.
Without these it is doubtful whether they could remain steady.

Moving circularly is the miraculous attainment of wheels in various vehicles. Without this none of the
machines used in traveling and other journeys can induce movement. Right from handcarts upto railway
engines, machines that utilize circular movements are made use of. Just like the to and fro rubbing
movement, circular movements of varying speeds, create varied amounts of energy. All are aware of
this fact. In Mantra chanting words are repetitive again and again and this cyclic repeated movement,
creates energy. This in turn gives us double benefits. With this benefit man gets extraordinary help, in
order to radiate his visible and invisible energy centers.
When an electrical fan rotates speedily, its every rotation becomes a circle and thus when a top spins at
great speed, it looks as though it is standing still. When toys made of burning gunpowder move
speedily, it looks as though the movement is circular. When the pebble-sling used to shoo off birds in a
field, is moved circularly with great speed it looks as though a huge wheel is moving. When the
movement is ceaseless (of one type of speed), those tasks are executed, which are possible to carry out
only by using machines of circular movements. The Sudarshan Chakra (disc) of Lord Krishna was
extraordinary but if it refused to move, it would have remained like a lifeless disc. When there is high
circular speed, it manifests a great amount of energy. One can never gauge its powers in between.
When raindrops fall from clouds, it seems as though it is a line of water, but in reality this is not true
because the drops are separate. When we chant a Mantra pauselessly, it not only creates movement as
a result of friction, but also generates a cyclic effect. This helps in digging out layers of dirt in our mind
and thus it gets purified. A person chanting Mantras attains many benefits. This is because the
ceaseless repetition of a Mantra generates energy manifesting from friction and cyclic /rotational
movement.

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

When consciousness conjoins with sound, its status becomes more powerful in comparison with the
ordinary sound waves of the material arena. Also the spiritual aspirants’ aspirations, austerities etc are
conjoined to it. High leveled streams unite with the sound potential, created via Mantra chanting. As a
result its stature becomes so exalted that one cannot refrain from calling the miraculous inspiration as
amazing.
Amongst all Mantras the Gayatri Mantra indeed is supreme. It appears as though in the creation of its
words, the letters are interwoven on the basis of the mysterious principles of Sound Science. From the
standpoint of its meaning, a prayer is uttered so as to make possible, the manifestation of Ritambhara
Prajna (divine intellect) in the inner consciousness embedded in these 24 letters. This prayerful eulogy is
present in the other metres (Chandas) of Shruti literature. From the standpoint of its meaning, the
special quality of Gayatri cannot be said to be incomparable, but its sound inter-weaving is such, that its
Mantra chanting elicits an extraordinary leveled sound flow. Its sacred results are attained not only by
the Mantra chanter but that others too avail of these pious benefits. Because this Mantra chanting
influences the entire environment in a useful manner, its benefits are attained by the entire world, all
human beings and other creatures too.

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

When one method works in many places, it influences the world environment in totality. When in big
cities cooking gas is lighted in virtually every home, it increases the heat in its environment. In
industrialized cities / towns, many chimneys are lit up and as a result the atmosphere becomes smoky.
These are bad examples of pollution. Whenever there are fields of fragrant flowers, where there are
many sandalwood trees, over there the entire region emits sweet fragrance. This is an example of
goodness. If Gayatri Mantra is chanted in many places, the spiritual energy that manifests, will influence
the mental state and atmosphere of people of those regions. As a result of congregational spiritual
practice, the atmosphere of a widespread area gets filled with pious activities and the possibility of joy
/peace augments.
In fact it is believed that congregational Gayatri worship gives greater sacred merits. No doubt
individual and lone Gayatri worship too gives good results but the results of congregational worship are
extraordinary. One can easily understand the difference between a single stick of a broom and many
sticks that are tied together, threads, remaining separate and their joining together to become a piece
of cloth, drops of water remaining separate and their joining together to form a lake. When Gayatri
devotees resolve to perform spiritual practices collectively, it gives greater benefits. Today under the
aegis of the Gayatri family, lakhs of its members are carrying out collective worship and this will
generate tremendous divine force. Today for neo-creation, Mahakal is using Mahakali i.e. the
congregational energy , resulting from congregational worship, will ultimately lead to Era Creation. One
can hopefully with faith look forward to its sacred results. Via these endeavours we will attain
important aim of the creation of a bright future.
