The Scientific Aspect of Gayatri Mantra

The vibrations of Vedic Mantras carry immense energy that is amplified by the pr3ña (vital spiritual energy) and bio-electricity of the body and the sublime currents of spiritually refined thoughts and sentiments of the sadhaka(s). The practice of japa- sadhana of Gayatri Mantra is given supreme importance in this context, as the majestic power of this eternal mantra is expanding perpetually, as the sadhana of this mantra has been constantly practiced by millions of spiritual experts since the Vedic Age. This mantra is also special in terms of its unique sonic pattern, the sublime flow of sabda and astonishing physical, psychological and spiritual impacts.

From a scientific point of view, one may explain it as follows. As the continuous movement of the motor in a dynamo generates electricity, the cyclic repetition of the japa of a mantra at a constant pace also gives rise to the circular motion of the sonic manifestation of sabda (eternal element of cosmic sound – evolutionary vibration) hence to a centrifugal sonic force and an otherwise latent power of sound. One who knows the Mantra Vidya indeed knows the secrets of the optimal generation and use of this cycle of energy, which is a unique source of physical, mental and spiritual potentials.

The coexistence of the forces of attraction and the circular motions of the planets must be well-known to the students of Physics. Because of the fast movements in the charged fields of attraction, each planet also produces a roaring sound of intensity proportional to its huge size. The superimposition of these planetary roars gives rise to the cosmic sound – a manifestation of sabda, which the scientists consider as the major source of power for every kind of ‘natural motion’ existing in the entire universe.

The power of sabda manifests itself in multiple ways in the sadhana of the great Gayatri Mantra. This mantra is a compilation of twenty-four special syllables (in Sanskrit), which are so configured that the enunciation of each gives rise to unique types of vibrations at one or more of the twenty-four important bio-electrical and extrasensory energy nuclei in the sadhaka’s body. The collective compounded sonic effects of all of these are so unique and immense that these activate the subtle body too.

The linguistic meaning of this mantra is a universal prayer for the divine illumination of the intellect of all to lead the world towards the righteous path. The sadhaka’s mental concentration and pure sentiments are naturally focused around this meaning (and the associated feelings and inspirations) when he performs japa of this mantra through emotional depths. This has two prominent effects – viz., the sadhak’s mind achieves higher state of meditation and he also attains spiritual refinement of the inner domains of mind.
