 Hidden Powers of Mantra
 Power of Mantra
 The 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

 Importance of sonic pattern

 Specific compilation of syllables and sonic patter of a mantra are of crucial
importance.
 The syllables used in a mantra are like coded representation of sonic energy
latently stored 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 than
nuclear energy

Do 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 use specific effects of the sublime power of Shabda.)
 Hidden Powers of Mantra
 Dual Effects
 Jap of a mantra instantaneously generates dual effects – one in inner world and
other in external
 Fire burns whatever is inside it and heats up the fireplace and its surrounding
area. Similarly, continuous chanting of a mantra not only titillates specific
extrasensory energy centers, nerve bundles and ganglions inside chanter’s body
but also generates specific vibrations in the surrounding space that spreads in all
directions and influences the subtle environment and other conscious beings too

 Subtle Vs. Gross

 The power of sublimated/subtle elements is always enormous as compared to
that of gross. Power of steam (subtle) is far more than water or ice (gross). Then
what to say about sublime powers of supreme energy of Shabda.
 This is what make the mantras so unique and endowed with infinite power to
vibrate and transmute the spiritual as well as physical realms of life.
 Hidden Powers of Mantra
 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 at
constant amplitude is also quite intense. This conjugated with the impulsive force
of focused consciousness and vital energy stimulates the otherwise latent
extrasensory hormonal glands and power-nuclei in the body

 Rate of Progress
 The attainment of supernormal bequests depends on the mental and spiritual
makeup 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
 Why Chant ? How to Chant ?
 Purpose
 As body & clothes get clean after rubbing with soap. Similarly, chanting is the
process of cleansing /refining our inner self/attitude.
 To awaken hidden divinity within and inculcate divine virtues by simultaneously
meditating over them

 4 stages
 Repetition
 Retention
 Recall
 Recognition (to put into practice & change one’s lifestyle

 Transformation of Ego
 The chanter while chanting any mantra should meditate upon the meaning of the
mantra and believe that divine qualities are being kindled within him and he
should try to bring a transformation in his lifestyle by believing that he is not an
ordinary soul and there is no room for any undesirability within him.
 Why Chant ? How to Chant ?
 Not just bead rotation
 The process of chanting should not be only limited to just bead rotation and
mechanical 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.
 Mechanical chanting although will yield results of its own but those are
insignificant as compared to chanting with correct mindset.
 Why Gayatri Mantra ?
 King of Mantras
 This eternal mantra is said to be the origin of the Vedas.
 The seers, spiritual saints and scholars of all ages affirm the divine preeminence
of this mantra.

 Unique composition
 It has remarkable configuration of 24 syllables (carriers of Sabda Sakti)
 Unique pattern of sublime currents of spiritual force which is derived from the
deeper science of Sabda brahm – Naad brahm

 Spiritual aspects
 Enables the chanter to reduce/ remove the effects of past karmas (deeds)
 Chanter develops a divine ego which enables him to remove the undesirability
which have rooted themselves deep into the unconscious mind over a period of
many births
 Why Gayatri Mantra ?
 Scientific aspects
 Unperturbed enunciation of this mantra for a continuous stretch of time would
also generate powerful currents that could induce divine effects by vibrating all
subtle glands, ganglions, nerve bundles, neuronal passages and extrasensory
energy centers in the physical, subtle and astral bodies.
 Scientific experiments reveal that chanting of Gayatri Mantra stimulates emission
of supernormal brain impulses that generate specific aura around the chanter
 The sound waves that are created, when Gayatri Mantra is said, is of the shape of
a ring. 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 of Sun, like Heat, Light, electrical and other powers which are very
subtle. Thus the Mantra combined with all the powers of the Sun re-enters the
subtle body of the ‘Practicer’. The stronger the will-power and emotion attached
with the Mantra, the Stronger is the attraction of these powers of the Sun. If the
Mantra is said with the full concentartion of Mind, it can make impossible,
possible. *
 Why Gayatri Mantra ?
 Views
 Theosophist scholar Mr. Leadveater attributes distinctive significance to the
collective chanting of Gayatri Mantra in his book “Man- Visible, Invisible” . The
sonic waves along with the sublime currents of Sabd sakti produced by the
chanting of the mantra propagate upwards in a spiral shape and expand up to the
heart of Sun (the deity of Gayatri Mantra). The echo of these is reflected back and
bestows the supernatural 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”

magazine said commenting on the nuclear war “The great Gayatri Mantra is more
powerful than thousands of atom bombs. If all of India collectively chants this
mantra, the power aroused thereby would annul all hazards of nuclear warfare
and protect the globe…”.
 Individual Vs Collective Effort
 Importance of United efforts
 United efforts bear unique importance.
 Tiny tips of dry grass knitted together form a strong rope
 Sunrays are bearable when spread on earth’s surface; when focused together at a
point via convex lens, they kindle fire instantaneously
 Gathering a group of wickers makes a broom

 1+1 = 11
 Power 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 more
 Enthusiasm & joy generated by combined faith of pilgrims is truly remarkable.
 Organized move of larger congregation of people of compatible ideologies
motivated for a common aim creates intense ambience of greater influence
Significance of Collective Prayer
 Prayer
 Psychologically, prayer is said to inculcate inducing instructions that gradually
invigorate the potentials of mind.
 Intensity & impact of these inner ‘inscriptions’ of prayer rise in proportion with the
piety and depth of the devotee’s intrinsic faith.
 These have reach in the hidden folds of mind and thus are effective in eradication
of psychiatric complications, mental weakness, tension, worries, illusions etc.

 Unity in prayer
 Unity, conjugation and superposition always multiply and magnify compatible
effects. Same holds true for collective prayer.
 ‘Namaj’ of Mohammedans, ‘Mass Prayer’ of Christians, ‘Retreat’ practices of army
men all signify this fact

 Emergency situations
 Groups of people, societies, nations as whole also take shelter of collective prayer
at times of emergency or calamitous adversities.
 Bells of temples, churches, mosques, gurudwaras and all other shrines ring with
mass participation in prayers in war times.
 This is the last asylum of hope for mankind in critical moments of helplessness.
Examples of Collective Spiritual
Endeavors
 Shri Ram
 Role of monkeys & beers in battle of Shri Ram and Ravan illustrates necessity and
importance of mass movement at grass root.
 Ram and Lakshman were divine incarnations; drying up a sea and ruining the
reign of Ravana was no difficulty for them but this could not have served the real
purpose of arousing the collective power of the masses that was the need of that
era.

 Shri Krishna
 Lord Krishna- manifestation of the Almighty in human form, had liberated the
world from cruel autocracy of Kansa, Jarasandha and Shishupal at very young
age.
 He could have ruined the perverted Kauravas and their gigantic army in few
moments but he preciously strove for the unity of the armed forces of the
distributed states in historic war of Mahabharata.
 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
Examples of Collective Spiritual
Endeavors
 Buddha
 Buddha changed the trends of the medieval era inspiring the collective arousal of
the masses. His preaching of “Buddham Saranam Gacchami, Dhammam Saranam
Gacchami, Sangham Saranam Gacchami” indeed vibrated awakened souls and
led to the formation of an army of “Bauddha Sanyasis” which was dedicated to
the noble aims of “Dhammam”. The collective and constructive efforts of these
disciples spread his message of peace and kindness all over the globe.

 Mahatma Gandhi
 The world recognized the astonishing force of the non violent mass-movement
educed by Mahatma Gandhi for the independence of India.
 The united strength of people motivated for a common patriotic goal had shaken
and eventually ousted the mighty British Empire.

 Maha-Kumbh
 The tradition of pilgrimage was founded by Rishis (sages) for arousing and
channelizing the collective power of morally inclined people for global welfare and
spiritual enlightenment of all.
 Great saints, sages and scholars used to meet and discuss the global problems
and produce solutions and constructive plans for progress and peace of all living
beings
Unique Experiments of Collective
Chanting
 Sahastranshu Brahm Yagya
 1st spiritual experiment of grand participation in 1953 of people from all parts of
the society
 auspicious commemoration of the glorious completion of twenty-four divine
mahapurascharanas (24 lac Gayatri mantra chants) by Gurudev Pt. Shriram
Sharma Acharya (founder of Gayatri Pariwar)
 About 25000 sadhaks chanted 125000 Gayatri mantra each over 18 months
period and performed havans of 125000 of this holy mantra
 This mahayagya and the associated sadhna was indeed the commencement of
the divine endeavor of Yug Nirman (reconstruction of an era )

 Brahmastra Anushthan
 The next major experiment of collective spiritual power was conducted as the
“Brahmastra Anushthan” was completed in 1958.
 First phase comprised of 24 lac Gayatri mantra chants. Sadhaks who had
performed the Jap with chastity and austerity were allowed to participate in this
sacred yagya
Unique Experiments of Collective
Chanting
 Ashtagrahi Yog
 Year 1962 faced the rare alignment of planets – the Ashtagrahi Yog, which was
professed by several authentic astrologers and foretellers across the global, as an
ill omen for the earth
 All members of Gayatri Pariwar performed dedicated collective Anushthan to
prevent the likely disastrous effects and as a result it passed without any
significant disturbance to our planet

 Shakti Mahapurascharan
 This was another remarkable example of collective Sadhna at the times of sudden
attacks by China in 1962 & Pakistan in 1965.
 Spiritual energy generated by these collective Sadhnas worked behind
miraculous happenings in the battlefield.
 What made the victorious Chinese army’s unexpected ‘about-turn’ in front of the
defeating Indian army? Defense analysts/ political experts don’t have a logical
explanation to this…Only visionaries of subtle impact were able to know the real
cause.
 These special experiments were accompanied by large number of Gayatri Yagyas
all over the country.
Unique Experiments of Collective
Chanting
 Suraksha Anushthan
 Much before scientific community was alarmed by the unexpected fall of the sky-
lab in June 1979, Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya initiated this spiritual experiment
aimed at preventing the disastrous consequences of the likely mishap.
 Space scientist feared sky-lab’s fall would have risked calamitous loss at Laos,
Manila, Panama, Nigeria, states of Gujarat or Orissa and West Bengal in India.
However, at last moments this huge spacecraft got naturally deviated and
plunged into the remote depths of Pacific Ocean leaving safe the inhabited land
on our planet.
 No scientific investigation could decipher the hidden force of nature that triggered
an upright in scientifically approved likelihood.
 Deep study into dominance of subtle world over visible world elucidated this
would be possible by the conscious power aroused by spiritual Sadhnas.

Do you know ?? – “2012 is sometimes claimed to be a great year of spiritual

transformation (or apocalypse). Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the
thirteenth B’ak’tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calender (which occurs on
December 21” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012
Unique Experiments of Collective
Chanting
 Pragya Purascharan
 Revered Acharya ji had declared the period of 1980 – 2000 as Yug Sandhi Kal
(cosmic changes before the change of era).
 He emphasized the need for greater purification of people’s mind and spiritual
enlightenment and molding their attitude to adopt the new world order that is due
to be bestowed by the Almighty.
 In this 24 crore Gayatri Mantra Jap was performed daily collectively by 24 lac
parijans(members) per day which later increased to 120 crores chants per day.
 Number of yagyas and havans were also augmented in the same proportion
reaching almost every village, town and city in India.
 This remarks a rare endeavor of active participation of awakened souls in God’s
project of purification and righteousness orientation of the subliminal flow
