Exciting discovery of Gauri Shankar mantra

Now time has come for me to tell you the mantra for awakening the chakra that

Gauri Shankar works on. The mantra is the famous Gayatri mantra. Gauri Shankar

which symbolises Union can also be interpreted of Union of Us with God, Union of

Gayatri (Wisom conciousness) with Savitri (material wealth), Union of Want

(Shiva) with desire (Shakti). I invite you all in the next few club posts to

deeply understand the true meaning of Gayatri mantra and how it helps us

manifest. In the next few posts, if you read carefully, lot of facts will be

known to you. In later posts, I will also be telling you that Gayatri is not a

Goddess (although she is pictured as one) and this is the most powerful mantra

ever. Also this is not a prayer to the Sun (for that there is a Surya Gayatri

mantra) but prayer to the Creator.

Gâyatrî Mantra

We meditate on the glory of the Creator;

Who has created the Universe;

Who is worthy of Worship;

Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light;

Who is the remover of all Sin and Ignorance;

May He enlighten our Intellect.

Introduction:

The Gâyatrî Mantra is from the Rig Veda (iii, 62, 10), which has existed in

written form for at least 2500 to 3500 years. (Some accounts date the original

text to be over 6000 years old, but rather than being overly concerned about a

precise date, let us focus our attention on the meaning of this glorious mantra

and how it can enrichen and illuminate our life here and

Meaning of Gayatri is

- gaya vital energies

- trayate) preserves, protects, gives deliverance, grants liberation

The word Mantra means instrument of thought, sacred text, or a prayer of praise.

So, the two words “Gâyatrî Mantra” might be translated as: a prayer of praise

that awakens the vital energies and gives liberation.

And indeed, this is such a prayer.

In his book Sâdhanâ, Srî Swâmi Shivânanda wrote:

“Of all the mantras, the supreme and the most potent power of powers is the

great, glorious Gâyatrî Mantra.

It is the support of every seeker after Truth who believes in its efficacy,

power and glory, be he of any caste, creed, clime or sect. It is only one’s

faith and purity of heart that really count. Indeed, Gâyatrî is an impregnable

spiritual armor, a veritable fortress, that guards and protects its votary, that

transforms him into the divine, and blesses him with the brilliant light of the

highest spiritual illumination.

… It is universally applicable, for it is nothing but an earnest prayer for

Light, addressed to the Supreme Almighty Spirit.

… This single mantra, repeated sincerely and with clear conscience, brings the

supreme good.”

The Invocation:

Chanting of the Gâyatrî Mantra is often prefaced with either a short invocation

or a long invocation and is often followed with a closing.

Short Invocation:

This invocation is acknowledging and joyously celebrating that Om is bhûr, Om

is bhuvas, Om is suvaha… Om is everything.

The terms bhûr, bhuvas, suvaha (mahâ vyâhritis) are invocations to honor the

planes of our existence and to call to our aid the presiding deities of the

three planes in which we live our ordinary life: the physical, astral and mental

planes.

The three lokas (bhûr, bhuvas, suvaha) are the bîja (seed) mantrams of the

devatâs called Agni, Vâyu and âditya who are being invoked to assist in our

transformation. (See Chandogya Upanishad (IV, xvii, 1-3) and (II, xxiii, 3)).

Then Prajâpati reflected on the three lokas and from this reflection was born

OM. As veins pervade all leaves, so Om pervades all sound. Verily all this is

Om! Verily all this is Om!

The short preamble is simply these four words:

om

bhûr

bhuvas

suvaha

- Long Invocation:

As with the shorter version, this invocation is a recognition that there are

many worlds, all empowered by the nameless, formless, birthless, deathless which

is symbolized by om…. om is everything.

These seven lines of the long invocation are the seven lokas, or planes, of

existence, and are used not only to recognize and honor the planes of existence,

but also to call the presiding deities of those planes to aid in our

transformation and realization:

om bhûhû

om bhuvaha

om suvaha

om mahaha

om janaha

om tapaha

om satyaM

The seven lokas, may be briefly described as:

bhûhû – earth, the physical world

bhuvaha – astral/desire/breath, the world of becoming

suvaha – mental, the world of thinking

mahaha – causal, silent mind, the world of emotion

janaha – world of creative generation

tapaha – world of intuition

satyaM – world of Absolute Truth

This recital of the lokas begins with the gross, physical world filled with

separation and differences and then each, in sequence, becomes more refined,

more transcendent, more unified, more all-encompassing.

The recitation of the lokas, done with intent and clarity, prepares one for the

chanting of the Gâyatrî Mantra by harmonizing and attuning one with all the

worlds.

Body of the Gâyatrî Mantra:

The body of the Gâyatrî Mantra is written as:

The transliterated text is:

om tat savitur vareNyaM

bhargo devasya dhîmahi

dhiyo yo nah prachodayât

Swâmi Shivânanda’s translation of the Gâyatrî Mantra is:

We meditate on the glory of the Creator;

Who has created the Universe;

Who is worthy of Worship;

Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light;

Who is the remover of all Sin and Ignorance;

May He enlighten our Intellect.

Here’s a simple word-by-word translation:

Om – Om (Brahman, the One, the Godhead, Supreme Deity)

tat – that (referring to Savitri, Paramatma, God)

savitur – (mw1190) – Savitri, the Spiritual Sun (that from which all is born),

the One Light, the all-pervading Consciousness

O nourishing Sun, solitary traveler, controller, source of life for all

creatures, spread your light and subdue your dazzling splendor so that I may see

your blessed Self. Even that very Self am I!

Isa Upanishad (16)

vareNyaM – most excellent, adorable, fit to be worshipped, venerable, worthy of

being sought

bhargo – (mw748) – radiance, effulgence, splendor (the light that bestows

understanding)

devasya – divine, of the deity

dhîmahi – we meditate upon… or may we meditate upon, reflect upon, be devoted

to

dhiyo – prayer, noble thoughts, intuition, understanding of Reality (buddhis)

yo – he who, the one who

nah – our, of us

prachodayât – may he energize, direct, inspire, guide, unfold… or he who

energizes, directs, inspires, guides, unfolds

Short Closing:

bhûr bhuvas suvar om

Long Closing:

Om âpo jyotih rasomritam brahma

bhûr bhuvas suvar om

This beautiful closing pays tribute to the myriad forms of the One. A simple

translation is:

Om, the Water, the Light, the very Essence in which we exist, the Absolute, the

physical world, the astral realm, the mental realm, all are Om.

Daily spiritual practice:

The beautiful rhythmic patterns, soothing ancient sounds and powerful intent

make the Gâyatrî Mantra a magnificent part of daily spiritual practice.

The Gâyatrî Mantra combines the effects of mantric sound with the effects of a

deep and profound prayer, resulting in a combination which is exceedingly

potent.

As with all spiritual practices, this is a vehicle for intent. The stronger and

greater the intent, the stronger and greater the results.
