The chanting of Gayatri at the right pace with proper intonations

will take usually 18 seconds... one full minute is likely to be

distracting the concentration.

========================

Namaste,

 

Profvk-ji, The prolonging the chant will help to blend the breath

control with the process (pranayama). Just chanting the AUM from your

belly till ending it between the eyebrows (ajna chakra), can take

around 30 seconds. The more one can prolong the chant they feel

gayathri as a vibration, the shorter the duration one feels it as a

mantra....both are right.. once upon a time i remember the days when

i complete 3 gayathri in 18 seconds... i had my own justifications

and theories supporting the importance of count... i definitely feel

i evolved.

=====

The understanding of the purpose depends on ones limitations or

prejudice...In the early state of practice many gaze at the idols of

gods in a temple or a spot at a distance. once the yoga matures

gazing the nose tip and between the eyebrows will help...japa is also

the one of the best ways to start...

 

Till one can achieve some depth, i'm going to borrow some lines from

previous postings of yours

Namaste,

 

A 'playful' approach to developing one's own curriculum of

sadhana is described at:

 

http://www.chinmayadc.org/rc_50game.htm#Top

 

The practical tips for sadhana in the Gita to suit a variety

of temperaments are scattered throughout the text.

 

For example, gauging oneself on 'saattvik' qualities in 12

areas [aahaara, karma, jnana, dhriti, etc.]; daivi sampat qualities

that need attention; 'imperatives' - such as 'muktasa.ngaH samaachara'

'nimittamaatraM bhava savyasaachin', etc. One can call these

'meditations' in action, to achieve 'naishhkarmya -siddhi'.

Namaste,

 

When we finally learn to chant the Gayatri

properly, we should not experience any time at all.

Sri Ramakrishna used to say, Sandhya ends in Gayatri,

Gayatri in Om and Om in Samadhi.

So the experience of timelessness (so to say) is the

essence of Nama Japa.

 

Regards,

Anand
