The masters of Mantra-Vidya know that words are uttered by different parts of th
e mouth such as, throat (larynx), tongue, teeth, lips and the root of the tongue
. During speech, the nerve-fibres of the particular parts of the mouth from whic
h sound emits stretch upto different parts of the body and put pressure on the c
orresponding glands. If particular glands of the person concerned are diseased o
r dysfunctional he starts stammering while uttering the specific words. There a
re many large and small, visible and invisible glands in the body. Yogis know th
at some specific energies lie hidden in these glands, Shat-Chakras (six energy c
entre) related to the Sushumana are quite well-known but there are several other
such glands in the body. The utterance of different words has its impact on dif
ferent glands and by such impact the energy of these glands gets stimulated. Man
tras have been composed on this basis. There are twenty-four letters in Gayatri-
Mantra which are related to twenty-four such glands located in the body which, o
n getting stimulated, activate and awaken the powers of righteous wisdom. By utt
ering Gayatri Mantra the sitar of the subtle (Sookshma) body of the Sadhak star
ts playing, tinkling at twenty-four points, creating sound waves which impact im
portant elements of the invisible world. It is this impact which becomes more a
nd more pronounced and tangible through Gayatri Sadhana.
The flow of sound of these twenty-four letters of the Maha Mantra is of deep sig
nificance. The experts of the science of sound know the powers hidden in sound a
nd the results which can be achieved by its subtle vibrations. Sound is synonymo
us with Brahma. It is Brahma from whom the original first creative vibration is
sues forth resulting in seven-time chanting of OM. Just as the pendulum of a clo
ck keeps on moving by swinging to and fro, in the same way the sound waves of Om
create vibrations which regulate this creation. Later, three main waves of Sat,
Raj and Tam relating to Hreem, Shreem and Kleem elements respectively flow in t
his current. It is further divided into branches and sub-branches which are know
n as Beej-Mantras. The letters, words and clauses of Gayatri Mantra have been se
en by a seer vision and emanate from the unified field of creative energy, arran
ged in a specific and special sequence and inter-relationship. Chanted with sinc
ere devotion, they plug the sadhak s soul into the supreme and inexhaustible fount
of spiritual energy.
Singing of Deepak-rag lights up extinguished lamps. It starts raining when megh
-malhar tune is sung. The melody created by playing flute makes the snakes wave
their hoods in synchronicity, deer gets swooned and cows start yielding more mi
lk. The warbling of cuckoo incites passion. Even strong iron bridges may collaps
e by the sound created by the in-step, coordinated and rhythmic marching of a tr
oop soldiers. The army is, therefore, forbidden to march rhythmically, in-step,
while crossing a bridge. Dr. Hutchinson of America has achieved success and fame
in curing several patients suffering from incurable and painful diseases by dif
ferent musical sounds. In India, Tantriks keep a Thali (large metallic plate) on
a pot and play it in a special rhythm and are capable of curing persons bitten
by poisonous snakes, scorpions etc. and those suffering from thyroid goitre, Vis
hvel (poisonous creeper), ghosts, mania etc. The vibrations of a specific sound
spread in the ether and attract atoms of similar type and return to their origin
within few moments, duly charged with appropriate energy which exercises curat
ive impact in the appropriate area. This is how Mantras accomplish miraculous ef
fects. The chanting of Gayatri Mantra activates the network of nerves in the mou
th and stimulates specific glands. No sooner do they get stimulated, a Vedic sym
phony is created which spreads in the ether, takes a round of the entire univers
e, coming back to the source with its energy augmented manifold, capable of fulf
illing the desired purpose. Gayatri Sadhana, thus, becomes a spiritual as well
as a material boon for the Sadhak.
The factor which makes Gayatri Mantra extremely potent is the sadhak s confidence
coupled with faith. Psychologists are well acquainted with the power of self con
fidence. Instances have been cited in several of my books and articles to prove
that only on account of imaginary fear people met untimely death and persons who
were almost dead got new life on account of faith and confidence. Tulsidas has
in his Ramayan compared faith and confidence to Bhawani and Shankar and stated, B
hawani Shankaro vande shraddha vishvas rupino. It is faith which has the power to
turn a bush into a ghost, a rope into a snake and an idol into God. There are p
eople who happily sacrifice money, comfort and even life for defending one s faith
and conviction. Eklavya, Kabeer etc. are examples of persons who acquired Knowl
edge not directly from their masters, Gurus, but by dint of their unflinching f
aith in them. The basis of hypnotism is to get the desired work done by the subj
ect just by infusing faith in him in the words of the physician. The Mantra of t
he Tantrik works miraculously on the patient only if he has deep faith in it. A
Sadhak devoid of faith may utter that Tantrik Mantra hundreds of times but it wi
ll not have any effect. This fact applies to Gayatri Mantra also. When the Sadha
k takes up Sadhana with faith and confidence Gayatri Mantra becomes much more ef
fective and proves to be extra-ordinarily powerful due to the combined effect of
faith and the Mantra s own instrinsic spiritual energy.

Gayatri activates the above-mentioned twenty-four divine qualities in the devote
e. With their growth, varied accomplishments (Siddhis) and prosperity start mani
festing in the life of the devotees. Most of the people think that some god or g
oddess is bestowing these gifts because they are unable to see and understand th
e working of these subtle divine energies and the transformations flowing theref
rom. Once they understand that transformations are taking place as a result of t
heir own Sadhana they would realise that it is not by way of some unexpected gif
t from somewhere but is the result of a well organized scientific process of sp
iritual growth. Gayatri Sadhana is not based on blind faith but has a solid scie
ntific basis.
