Fw: Universal Gayathri Mantra Day

[Guest guest]

Universal Gayathri Mantra Day 29-8-2007 Gayathri mantra is a universal prayer, and Swami recommends that everybody irrespective of cast, creed, both male and females should chant Gayathri Mantra. Chant correctly: It should be

“Om Bhur Bhuva Suvaha, and not svah as many people pronounce wrongly. Please correct the pronunciation first. The important spiritual sadhana for every sadhak is to chant Gayathri Manthra three times a day. This is called “THRI KALA SANDHYA”. Praadha Sandhya, 108 times chanting of Gyathri in the morning as the Sun rises, 32 times at noon, when the Sun is straight up in the sky (Maadhyahnigam” , and 108 times before sunset. This is a daily spiritual sadhana. Global Day: The Hindu calendar specifies, that “Prathama” the first day after “Full moon day” during the month of “Sravan” as the day for collective chanting of Gayathri Maha Manthra. On this Gayathri Maha Manthra day, the Gayathri is chanted “Ashtothara(Over times) sahastra(thousand) samkhya i.e 1008 times. The same month three more Vedic rituals are performed. They are, (1) Ruk Upakarma, (2) Yajur Upakarma, and (3) Sama upakarmaa. Let us try to understand

what this means! The humanity at large is practicing their spiritual rituals based on various Vedas. This practice is being followed for generations now. In old days, the education meant, learning of Vedas from their Gurus who are learned Pundits in their respective Vedas. The Upakarma days indicates the starting day of these learning sessions. This year the days are as under: 27-8-2007 = Rukveda Upaakarma. 28-8-2007 = Yajurveda

Upaakarma. 13-9-2007 = Saama Veda upaakarma. Since the learners of “Atharvana Veda” are now extinct, the upaakarma for this Veda is not l considered. The spiritual discipline insists of chanting of Gayathri Manthra japa, immediately, before, or after the

celebrations of Veda upaakarma.. For the sadhaks from all the above Vedas, the Gayathri Manthra Japa Yagna, is stipulated on the first day after the Sravan Poornima (Full moon day). This year the sacred day falls on 29-8-2007. Every Sadhak, who had been initiated into Gayathri Mantra, after performing Sacred thread ceremony, are supposed to chant “Gayathri Manthra 1008 times on this day, in morning hours.

There is a “Sankalpa” before starting Gayathri japa. In this Sankalpa, the purpose of chanting Gayathri 1008 times that day, is mentioned. They are: (1) Mithryatheetha” Prayachithartham, and (2) “Dhoshaavad Apathaneeya” Praya Chithartham.

(3) Samvathsara Prayachithatham. Ashtothara Sahasra Samkhya Gayathri Maha Manthra Japam Karishye…” Mithya means untruth or unreal. We might have been committing sins without our being aware of it. We might have committed

many sins, and because these sins, we are likely to slip away from our Dharmic functions. Several sins are committed throughout the year. As a remedial measure (Prayachithartham) , we undertake to chant Gayathri Manthra 1008 times.

This is the sankalapa before we undertake Gayathri Maha mantra Japa Yagna. I urge all sadhaks to dedicate this day, the 29th August , 2007 to engage in this great spiritual sadhna. I am humbly suggesting that this message is be spread all over the world, either individually or through various groups. We

will pray that the trend picks up, in the years to come. .
