All World
Gayatri Pariwar

The human body is a mixture of the elements of Earth and Sun (i.e. the matter and energy) and hence, from the physical and mental point of view, the human body is not only affected by Earth but there is a tremendous influence of the Sun also. When we think over our physical body, it appears that by taking food, water, etc, that is the essence of earth, a number of elements like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, iron, sulphur, etc, are produced inside the body. Herein, vital energies that are subtler than these elements are active. The pulsations in our body are due only to Praña (vitality). We are able to perform actions like sneezing, yawning, sleeping, closing the eyelids, etc. only because of Praña.  These actions cannot be performed by inert matter (elements). Praña is subtler than all the elements. That is why, it cannot be seen. However, it can be felt and understood easily through the science of Gayatri. 

According to astronomers, basically there are only two elements in the Sun- first, hydrogen and second helium. Sun consumes hydrogen and converts it into helium. This gives it energy, heat and light. Had this reaction not been taking place, the Sun would not have been visible. Other hypothesis is that the Sun is omnipresent and almighty. Now, if we wish we can call it a Soul, an aggregate of Praña, or a burning ball of hydrogen. If anyone has a doubt that the Sun is a fireball, then he should study it with telescope. He will find that not only the flames as those in the yajna kuñda (fire pit of yajna) erupt from the Sun, but the eddies of energy which are the mixture of light, heat and electrical charge also erupt from its surface. 

Almost a similar kind of reaction takes place in our bodies. A similar kind of energy in the form of thoughts is present in our minds. It is a kind of vibration and hence it cannot be seen but most of the energy in bodies manifests itself in a similar way. If we call a human being a creature of different elements; then the Sun may also be assumed to be a conscious entity in the gaseous state. Its power is limitless, almost infinite. It goes on bestowing   (radiating) continuously and hence there has been a tradition to call it by the honorific title of Devata (deity). If' the latter meaning of Sun is taken for granted and by assuming that it is the central power of thoughts and emotions, a process of its utilization can be adopted. Then it should be possible for anyone to acquire physical, mental, social, intellectual and spiritual boons. This science has been revealed on earth by Gayatri Mantra. 

The vibrations generated by chanting 24 syllables of Gayatri Mahamantra establish the mental relationship between the Sun and a person with similar elements.  There is elementary unison between the Sun and the person. The scripture says-

That is - the Sun is the soul of this world. 

Our consciousness is the soul of (the world of) our body. The power to synchronize the consciousnesses at the same frequency and establishing a resonance between the two lies in the 24 syllables, which have been called, collectively, Gayatri Mahamantra.

This is the reason why the persons who know the essence of Upasana (worship) have advised that while meditating on Mother Gayatri one should visualize her in the middle of the rising Sun. According to the scripture-

- SHakanand Tarangiñi 3/4/1 

That is - The intelligent person should perform Japa (i.e., recitation of mantras) thrice daily, i.e., in the early morning, noon and evening, meditating on Devi Gayatri with a splendor akin to that of the Sun. 

The Sun and Gayatri are synonymous. Their unity is the same as that of fire and heat. This unity has been praised by the —shi as follows-¬ 

Oh Gayatri! You have the splendour of the Sun. Oh Amle! You are Brah®a Vidya (knowledge of Basic Reality), Mahavidya (Supreme Knowledge) and Vedmata (Mother of the Vedas). I salute you. 

One who performs Sadhana of this Mahamantra receives flow of Sun's energy. The law of science is that there is a1ways a flow of charge from a point at a higher potential to that at a lower potential, if the two points are properly connected. This flow of charge continues till the two points attain the same potential. The Siddhis (Supernatural powers) achieved through Gayatri are all advanced stages of the same ¬ process. In the state of perfection, a person becomes omnipresent and omnipotent like the consciousness of the Sun and he can see everything. Not only he acquires the power to predict the c1imate or the health of persons, and read the thought rising in the minds of others but also he becomes the master of the powers and activities, which are even subtler than this. The outreach of such capabilities is so large that it is not possible to describe them in a few lines. Compassion, intelligence and benevolence start developing in him. In other words, a devotee of Gayatri, besides worshipping, starts utilizing his talent's (good qualities and good thoughts) in good deeds. 

It is possible to get the favor of a person easily and overwhelmingly when he is calm and in a joyous mood. Waves can be easily produced by throwing a small stone in a quiet and clean pond. This is the combined aspect of emotions and science. Whatever codes of conduct were decided or the scientific experiments performed by Indian Âcaryas (spiritual teachers), they were done by keeping the above doctrine in mind. Param Pujya Gurudev has also performed some unique experiments from time to time, by keeping the same subtle philosophy in view. According to the learned persons in the field of Sadhana, if Gayatri is worshipped by some specific methods on some specific occasions and the process of yajna, etc is performed then it is possible to influence deeply and attract strongly the spiritual powers of the Sun. With the help of those powers, one can achieve peace and prosperity not only for the self but also for the entire society, nation and the world at large. 

Sahastra kundiya yajna of 1958 was such an experiment. Later on meteorologists also supported this hypothesis. The astronomists observed an 'International Year of Quiet Sun' from July 1, 1957 to December 31, 1958. During this period, the Sun was quiet indeed and the scientists got a chance to study it and perform several experiments. During the same period, several ‘sadhakas’ performed a special sadhana of Gayatri under the supervision of Pujya Gurudev which was completed in a yajnya spanning over 4 days, in October 1958 when they offered a Purñahuti (completing oblation), on the day of SHarada Purñima. The pace of his experiments did not slow down after this experiment. Prajna ¬Purushcaraña, meditation of Sun, Kalpasadhanas and series of Mahayajnas in all parts of the country were the result of such investigations. The objective of these experiments was to give the benefit obtained from these divine undertakings to humanity as a whole. 

After these experiments there were lots of changes in the activities of the world. Not only the nature is changing its course but the emotions and thoughts of the people are also changing drastically. The indulgent and materialistic people of the western world have also started seriously turning towards spirituality. India is indeed the hub of the changes in the world. The persons blessed with divine vision can easily see that the vibrations set in motion in the subtle world for changing this physical world have their epicenter in India. In the daily routine, the Sun is found to be quiet during early morning and evening. Navaratris are also based on the same fact. The science and the methods of doing sadhanas on such occasions are the result of investigating the physical and subtle nature of the Sun, which are corroborated by physical science. 

India had to remain under the clutches of slavery for about 1500 years. The after-effects of this are still visible. According to the adepts in the philosophy / essence of Gayatri, such ill effects should start vanishing by the turn of twentieth century. According to astronomical calculations, in order to take one round of the Sun, the Earth has to travel 1 crore and 30 lakh miles. The Earth completes this journey with a speed of 67 thousand miles per hour, in 365.25 days. One fourth of a day increases in one revolution around the Sun. The Earth comes in the same orbit after 365.25 x 4 = 1461 years. 

It is said that the current cycle of 1461 years is going to be completed around 2010. In the meantime, the dazzlingly terrific divine powers of the Sun are going to descend on Earth, which will destroy all the evil forces. The devotees of Gayatri will witness these changes unscathed. In this turmoil, they will remain calm and poised like the beloved child who is not scared of his annoyed mother; rather he calms her by his innocent prayer. 

The series of Ashvamedha Mahayajnas performed in India and abroad from 1992 to 2000 was an extraordinary experiment, which was started with the inspiration of Pujya Gurudev. This may be called the revised and enlarged version of the ‘Sahastra kundiya mahayajna ' of 1958. 

The process of Ashvamedha has a deep relationship with Gayatri and the Sun. According to SHatapatha Brahmaña - 

Savita vai prasavita savita ma ima® yajna® prasuvaditi.

- SHatapatha 13/4/2/6

That is – Savita inspires. Savita ! Inspire me in this yajna please. 

Similarly, there is a provision of offering oblations with Gayatri Mahamantra by chanting ‘Gayatryai Juhoti’. Indeed by this process it will be possible to get the entire world bestowed with several benefactions by connecting the human race with the power of the Sun.

After studying the effect of Sun on the cosmic rays, ionosphere, and the earth's magnetic field, the scientists have found that the Sun gets excited on its own. The excited Sun churns the entire solar system (including the earth). At that time, the flames erupt from its surface and there is a shower of minute particles. Where do these particles disappear is not known to the scientists? However, according to the teachers of the science of sou1, these are the particles which produce vibrations in each and every molecule of this world. Because of this, not only the physical nature of the human beings but also their subtle nature is affected. Thoughts, emotions, will and faith also get changed. Though the estimation of such a large scale change cannot be done by the scientists; but the reality can be understood by analyzing the overall effects on the world politics, business, industry, labour, armed conflicts and the social activities. 

To those who can feel the mysteries which are accessible by sadhana, the objectives and benefits of the Ashvamedha process will not remain unknown. They will quickly dive deep into Gayatri Vidya. They will be oriented more towards abstinence, acquiring knowledge and devotion. These are the persons who are going to guide the world in future. 

According to the experts in the philosophy of Gayatri, there are only two elements that play crucial role in the creation of the world. They are Dev or Praña (vitality or energy) and Bhuta or Padartha (matter / animate or inanimate). The animate or inanimate can not become active without Praña. The human body that is made up of Pancabhuta (five elements) is the dialectical portion of Gayatri. As the words of Gayatri Mantra disappear in the air after pronunciation, so also the human body disappears at the end of its life cycle. Its second part is pervaded by Praña (the place of Sun). In spite of its visible part being physical in nature, its invisible part is astral. The latter part of Sun is much more powerful. The —shis have called Sun as Trayi Vidya. That is there are all the three elements in it; namely, physical element (which forms the body), Praña -vitality (which gives rise to consciousness), and mana (which thinks). When we connect ourselves with the Sun, through Gayatri Mantra Sadhana then we get its spiritual benefits – health, brilliance and unshakable will power. The main objective of the process of Ashvamedha is to impart the correct knowledge of this Vidya to the society so that peace, happiness and prosperity prevail everywhere on the earth. In this momentous transition period of the change of the era, the persons who, after acquiring this knowledge, try to propagate it in the entire world will be bestowed with divine blessings - name, fame, health and prosperity.
