Energy present in Mantras is limitless. There is no end to its great potential. We see great feats being performed by machines and technology made from iron using electricity for sound functioning. But this happens only when all parts are made of iron and are designed with proper procedure. Children play with toys like train, car, airplane etc but this is but the external form of train etc. Since within these toy trains no machinery is in place as is seen in real trains, cars etc toy trains, toy cars etc cannot function as original ones. Akin to such machines Mantras also are powerful and all-round in nature, yet the condition is that along with Mantra Japa chanting a devotee’s inner personality must deeply imbibe spiritual methodologies and procedures prescribed.
The importance of Super Mantra Gayatri reigns supreme amongst all Mantras known. On noting its supremacy and potential it becomes most required that in its spiritual practice and devotional methods (worship, meditation etc) the inner personality is rendered intensely radiant. We must remember that it is just not enough to execute spiritual practices via gross speech only. It is only when this gross speech is transformed into Vak or sacred divine speech that a spiritual aspirant tastes true beneficial success. In the Ayurveda mode of healing by making ash of gold, silver, copper, mercury etc a proper method is detailed for its administering and intake. Poisons too have their own special benefits but this is possible only when these poisons are purged. Speech is a root material and when it gets sanctified it becomes immortal nectar. When this very speech gets distorted and tainted it functions only as deadly murderous venom.
The preliminary effort in practices pertaining to Super Mantra Gayatri is sanctifying our qualities, actions and inner personality. By mere control of gross speech it cannot be converted to Vak or sacred divine speech. Observing Mauna or silence of gross speech, truth, sweet speech goodwill based goals in life and eating minimal balanced meals is an external application of tongue based practices. Internal application encompasses a combination of greatness oozing in the psyche and sacred ideals conjoined to all activities.
When we eat onions, garlic, alcohol, asofotedia etc our mouth emits that very type of odor.
Lest our psyche brims with imbalance we shall definitely err in trying to control our tongue’s activities. In this manner imbalance of our psyche shall manifest via our tongue.
Hence control of speech must not be looked upon merely as word based only. Instead know for sure that it has an inseparable connection with purity and sanctity of the psyche. Only then can our gross speech get converted to Vak or sacred divine speech which in turn aids
our Mantra chanting practices successful and beneficial. At every step our scriptures eulogize Vak Energy:
Bla yadvagvadantya vichetanani Rashtri devanam nishsad mandra.
Chatasrav larjjam dudurey payansi Kwalvidasyaha paramam jagam.
………..Saraswati Rahasyopanishad
MEANING: Vak or sacred divine speech pervades in the entire world. It pervades all creatures. It is present even in those beings imbued with miniscule consciousness. It controls and manages even demigods/deities. We wonder when we shall deeply understand it.
Sa vai vachameva prathamamatyavahat sa yada mritumuchyat sognirbhavat soyamagnihi parena mrityumatikranto deepyate.
………….Brihadaranyak Upanishad (1/3/12) MEANING: Prana Energy aided Vak deity to go beyond death. This Vak by becoming fire became immortal and by becoming oozed with unlimited energies became divine light manifest.
Mananatsarvam bhavanam garunatsansar sagarat.
Mantra rupa hee tatacchaktirmatantran rupini.
…………..Prapanch Saartantra MEANING: That energy protecting our mind, mental reflection, our sentiments and the entire world is called Mantra. At its root despite being one only becomes many when used in application form.
In Mantra practices Japa or chanting enjoys a prime spot. Its practice is done via Japa or chanting only. While elucidating the true meaning of Mantra Japa or chanting it is said:
Jakaro janma vicchedaha pakaraha papa nashakaha.
Tasyajjapa iti prokto janma papa vinashakaha.
………..Agni Purana MEANING: ‘Ja’ means getting liberated from repeated painful cycles of birth-death and
‘Pa’ means destruction of sins. Thus the spiritual practice that helps not only render the devotee sin free and a Jivanmukta (liberated while alive) but fulfills the above 2 goals also is called Japa.
Speech used to carry out Mantra Japa chanting must be of very high stature. Words uttered via the tongue are called Vaikhari or gross speech. This is used merely for give and take of informative knowledge. In order to exchange emotions Madhyama speech is used.
This can be subtly spoken by one imbued with sensitive sentiments only. This is transmitted not by the tongue and ears but that one heart speaks to another. It is only a sensitively emotional person that can transmit these emotions in others. This Vaikhari or gross speech and Madhyama speech amongst human beings exchange thoughts and sensitive sentiments.
Further than these, there are 2 more speeches called Para and Pashyanti speech. Para works in the microcosm (individual humans) and Pashyanti works in the macrocosm (gigantic cosmos). Para works in order to neo create our soul involving awakening of latent energies present there. In bridging a contact with Almighty God, Divine Powers, entire cosmos and all the Lokas or worlds Pashyanti speech is made use of. Hence these Para and Pashyanti speech are called divine speech or Deva Vani.
Aim chatwari vak parimita padani Tani vidurbrahmana yam manishinaha Guha treeni nihita nengayanti
Turiyam vacho manushya vadanti
MEANING: Speech has 4 legs called Para, Pashyanti, Madhyama and Vaikhari. Vaikhari is used as gross speech and the remaining 3 rest hidden in the deep recesses of our psyche.
Chatwari vak parimita padani tani vidurbrahmana ye manishinaha.
Guha treeni nihita negayanti turiyam vacho manushya vadanti.
…………..Rig-Veda (1/22/164/40) MEANING: This speech has legs. It is known only to scholarly divine seers. Amongst these speeches, 3 rest hidden in the deep recesses of our psyche. They never move down from their appointed spots. Only the 4th called Vaikhari or gross speech that is uttered by human beings.
Parayam kuri bhuya pashyantyam dwidalikrita.
Madhyamaya mukulita vaikharya vikasikrita.
Purva yathodita ya vagvilomenastaga bhavet.
…………..Yoga Kundalyupanishad (3/18-19) MEANING: Speech emerges from Para. By becoming advanced in Pashyanti 2 offshoots emerge from it. In Madhyama it gets adorned with flowers and in Vaikhari it turns into fruits. The sequence in which it evolves in its reverse sequence it undergoes Laya or merging back into its origin (absorption).
No doubt methodical Karmakanda (rites-rituals) have utility value and their own importance also. Yet it must not be looked upon as the be all and end all of spiritual practices. It is only when we conjoin sacred sensitive sentiments and goodwill based thoughts to these rituals only then from it potent energy manifests.
Vak energy is called fire also. This fire creates radiance, energy, brilliant illumination and aura everywhere and hence Vak is called fire also. In the Rig-Veda (10/18/9) it is said that via speech only great Rishis attain fire. If we truly understand the philosophical principles of deities, Mantras, Vak, Japa or chanting and Swara then the mind boggling miraculous potential of Super Power Gayatri manifests in our midst.
