Primer balance

The chief amongst all points to be kept in mind by a devotee carrying out Mantra chanting practices is that the sound emerging while chanting must be chaste and pure. This must be

got examined by an adept Mantra Guru. In the form of a prayer to Almighty God the name of Lord Rama can be uttered straight, lopsided, correctly, wrongly etc yet in Mantra chanting its sound and pronunciation must be chaste and error free. Lest the tying of strings to a guitar and finger movement on it is methodically correct sweet musical tunes called Ragas shall gush forth from it. If we play this guitar as per our whims and fancy in just about any manner we wish the sound emerging from the guitar shall be rough and unpleasant to hear. This holds true for chanting Mantras properly and methodically.

Which person for what aim must perform spiritual practice of which particular Mantra?

This cannot be decided based on our whims and fancy and nor must we look upon text book knowledge as the final word while deciding. So many books on medical healing and therapy write about the method of making various medicines and how it must be administered to the patient. Despite this we have to approach a qualified experienced doctor who after examining the condition of the diseased patient decides which particular medicine is to be administered to the patient. There is a mandatory requirement analyzing the inner state of a patient by an expert doctor after diagnosing the disease by performing various tests. Lest this is not done any patient shall just by a book on medical therapy and undergo self medication. If we devour medicines in the dose we think fit enough and decide on our own which medicine we shall use know that hazardous reactions shall have to be faced. Hence apart from congregational prayer programs if we wish to dive deep into the Science of Mantras and harbor an aim of attaining desired benefits, we must approach an experienced adept master/Guru of Mantra Science who shall advise us which particular Mantra must be chanted along with the method of its usage. The adept Guru shall choose a Mantra and its procedure and shall correct any flaw in our Mantra chanting.

Apart from method of chanting due weight age has to be given to chastity in our day to day transactions and social behavior. Not only must the eating, sleeping etc habits of a devotee be sacred or Sattvik, but that it must be quite meager in measure. This is called discipline of Vrata and fasting. This procedure comes under the flagship of spiritual practice of self control. It commences from sacred eating, sleeping etc habits and ultimately reaches purity and sanctity of character. A person immersed in vile, tainted and unethical activities amasses such dire reactions in his body and psyche due to unruly behavior that the effect of Mantra practice done by a person is only as much as sprinkling a few drops of cold water on a sizzling hot frying pan.

The methodology/technique prescribed for spiritual tasks must not be looked upon as the be all and end all of life. Instead much more importance must be given to sanctification and rendering sacred the character and thinking process of the one chanting Mantras. People who eat food that must be avoided at all cost (non veg, eggs, alcohol etc), eat very heavy meals, get inebriated with alcohol/narcotics, have extra marital sexual relationships, execute vile tainted activities etc although perform spiritual practices methodically yet they reap nothing but miserable failure. Lest their distorted mentality, unruly behavior, vile

activities etc do not stop such large measure of dirt gathers within their inner personality that all efforts of spiritual practices fly away to naught in the cyclonic storm of this mental dirt. Hence a Mantra Yogi who desires to render his eating, sleeping etc habits sacred and pure he must take guidance from adept Mantra Gurus and perform Mantra practices under their divinely watchful eye. They must always put into practice the advice of such a Guru when told to eat only Sattvik food and in meager amounts only. If we eat a little less than the hunger pangs we experience and eat food that increases mental purity that too at optimal timings it shall serve the purpose of fasting (Upvas). For this end if we take up a vow or Vrata to eat tasteless food devoid of salt and sugar it certainly is praiseworthy.

Boiled rice-lentils, boiled vegetables etc devoid of oil also are called Sattvik food items. In comparison to food grains we consume the measure of fruits and milk in our daily diet must be much more. Not while actually eating food but that after finishing meals enough clean water must be consumed so that the dirt in our stomach can be washed off and excreted via urine and stools.

The 3^rd point to note is we must harbor unbroken faith in the potency of Mantras and its genuineness. Deep unswerving faith is called the very life force or Prana of spiritual practices. In its absence doubts loom large in our minds and in large measure the possibility of attaining optimal results gets destroyed to naught. Profound faith in itself is potent power. On its basis ‘ash’ given as Prasad by Sidha or God Realized Saints exhibits miraculous effects. When our ‘Jijivisha’ (yearning to remain alive) remains intense a man on his deathbed also has been seen to ‘kick’ death and thus has lived for some more years post such incidences. An independent science of auto suggestion and auto sensitivity has been advanced wherein akin to self introspection a person has to gauge his own progress, the method of reformation and how to harbinger in a definite bright future. Energy emerging from deep faith defeats innumerable hardships and strife. Even in the absence of means that instill hope a person latching on tightly to power of deep faith rise higher and life and marches towards zeniths of glory. The resolve of ‘Ekal chalo re or you must march ahead all alone’ is a showcasing of that valor wherein despite being denied apt cooperation and desired means merely with the help of self faith steps forward and the effort that leads to the desired goal without any obstruction follows suit. Thus success is doubtlessly reaped in immense measure.

Examples of like seeing a snake in a rope and ghosts in forests where light is extremely dim despite being unreal appears true simply because we lend our faith to it and hence it showcases its dire result especially that of eerie fear in our psyche. There is a well known story wherein the God of Death called Yamaraj sent death to kill 5000 people. When death returned with dead bodies of 1,500,000 people God of Death called Yamaraj asked sternly:

Why have you gone against my order? I had commanded you to kill only 5000 people but here you have killed 1,500,000 people. Death with folded hands replied: O Lord! I had killed only 5000 people as per your edict yet other people out suspicion, doubt, terrible fear

etc died on their own and thus became members of the the crowd of people leaving this mortal world. It is seen on a day to day basis that a resolve that is either very strong or is very weak becomes a very potent positive or negative force and this in turn exhibits such good or bad results that can be termed only dumbfounding. Goswami Tulsidasji in

‘Ramcharit Manas’ writes: Faith is Goddess Bhavani and trust is Lord Shankar. This must not be looked upon as some figment of wild imagination since it is a bare truth. On this basis one can either in usher in one’s well being or one can enter the crater of a gigantic downfall in life. Especially in Mantra practices this fact must be deeply understood and imbibed to the fullest because a person imbued with profound faith easily tastes success in Mantra chanting practices whereas a person lacking this faith despite chanting an apt Mantra in a methodical manner is seen to either fail miserably or thar even if miniscule success comes his way it comes after long grinding effort on his part.

Which person for which goal must chant which Mantra using which procedure? This involves a special decision making process. For this end the one testing and taking decisions should be such who is an adept master of categorizing various types of personalities on analyzing them properly, who is an expert regarding various types of techniques of spiritual practices and who knows each ones special application and usage. But alas! In today’s fast paced modern times there is a certain lack of such adepts and experienced experts. It is insane hypocrisy that is looming large like dark clouds in the field of spiritual by holding on to the crutch of ‘aping’ and superficial imititation. It is the fraudlent wiliness of such ‘masters’ and ‘experts’ that shakes the very foundaition of innocent people’s faith.

It is this group of scamsters that predominates in world society. Everwhere hence

‘Gurudom’ rules the roost and all types of hypocrisies in the name of ‘spiritual practices’

are being enacted everywhere. In the absence of truly great adept Gurus who have executed profound studies, deeply reflected mentally over spiritual tenets, who have put into practice the injunctions of sacred scriptures, who have imbibed exalted high stature thinking, who ooze with sacred sensitive sentiments and who after understanding various techniques of spiritual practices have mastered them by putting them at work in day to day living a devotee faces a big difficulty wherein that in order to purify the gross body in what way Mantra practices must be made use of? How does such a devotee overcome such doubts? How can he walk on the easiest and straightforward path of spirituality?

In order to troubleshoot this problem we must first save ourself from that procedure mentioning special techniques for special type of people. Instead such a royal path has to be demarcated and designed that can work well for all and sundry equally. Such a royal path must be devoid of any type of peril.

Commencing right from the tender age of 15 years in these 65 years on reaching the ripe old age of 80 years I (author of this literature-Yuga Rishi Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya) have ceaselessly carried out Super Mantra Gayatri practices. In this time period, I have attained promising success in uprooting obstacles faced and in its place, blooming

conducive situations appeared. I also encourage those who came in my contact to execute these Super Mantra Gayatri practices and they too have experienced such optimistic success. In this manner we can say that those imbued with unswerving faith definitely succeed in Super Mantra Gayatri practices and the devotee after himself attaining self fulfillment with reference to the genuine nature of Mantra Energy can egg others also to follow suit when they hear of these astounding spiritual experiences. Yet the problem faced here is that Super Mantra Gayatri practice is written in Sanskrit language and conjoined to Hindu Religious Tradition. Hence its image is of motherhood only. All these points can be gulped down only by Hindu Religion followers. Hence the question of universality of this spiritual practice yet remains unsolved. The aim is to help entire world humanity advance and develop in unison and yet it is also the aim of those not harboring faith in Hindu Religion, who follow various other world religions and who speak in other languages.

Henceforth we shall have to focus on world thinking and world sacred sentiments. In future it is only unity and equality at the world level that shall get acceptance. Disparity, separatism, regionalism etc shall disappear to naught. Under such circumstances that mentality shall have to be decided upon for imbibing by world humanity that is universally accepted, easily accessed by all and easy to imbibe in day to day transactions.

Regarding this via focusing on the divine sound called ‘Om’ the above mentioned requirements can get fulfilled. ‘Om’ is not a word belonging to any particular language. In India it is called the combination of ‘A-U-M’ and its meaning is given as per the Sanskrit language dictionary. Yet the reality is that ‘Om’ is but a sound. It is different from ‘A-U-M’. It can be looked upon as such a sound akin to a gong hammered which then emits an echo or resonance. This is also the primordial union of Prakriti and Purusha and since this trend has continued ceaselessly world creation, propagation and destruction too follow suit.

It can be compared to the pendulum of a clock. It is the seed of Gayatri. From Om, 3 Vyahvrittis emerge. From each of these Vyahvrittis 3 set of words gush forth. It is akin to a seed sown in fertile soil that sprouts, becomes a plant and later blooms into a full grown tree with leaves, flowers, fruits etc. Gayatri can be called a tree and ‘Om’ its seed. Via the 24 alphabets of Super Mantra Gayatri the 24 energy centers present in the deep cave of the human body get awakened and on its basis the grandeur of innumerable Ridhi-Sidhis or Divine Energies fall in our lap. This very all round benefit can be attained simply by chanting ‘Om’.

As much as possible after purifying the body seated in a clean place using an introverted Mudra the Japa or chanting of Om should be done in such a way that the psychic consciousness and body ‘dash’ against each other and thus one gets an experience tinkling or rattling feeling. As a result of this 6 Yogic Chakras (subtle plexus), subtle nerve networks, subtle psychic complexes, subtle glands etc get activated since neo consciousness starts spreading in it. Within a few days of this spiritual practice itself a tangible experience

of this can get accrued. Along with this those benefits accrue that are attained on executing methodical Super Mantra Gayatri practices.

It is best that this Mantra continues to resound from your throat and its vibratory effect shall lend positivity to the entire body. Apart from this it can so happen that whenever you get free time commence chanting Om mentally. This technique also can prove to render our material worldly life also joyous and oozing with prosperity.
