So! Now its scientifically proved that reciting the gAyatri mantra activates many areas of the brain particularly the prefrontal cortex that deals with planning, problem solving and awareness. It also stimulates secretion of GABA a naturally occurring amino acid that 1/n

works as a neurotransmitter in the brain. GABA has been proved to produce a natural calming effect on the brain. Research has also established  that GABA has been detected in other peripheral tissues including intestines, stomach, Fallopian tubes, uterus, ovaries, testes, 2/n

Kidneys, urinary bladder, the lungs and liver, albeit at much lower levels than in neurons or β-cells. GABAergic mechanisms have been demonstrated in various peripheral tissues and organs, which include the intestines, the stomach, the pancreas, the Fallopian tubes, the 3/n

uterus, the ovaries, the testes, the kidneys, the urinary bladder, the lungs, and the liver meaning thereby thay the fruits of chanting the gAyatri are immeasurable. The mantradraShTA of this mantra, sage vishvAmitra could replicate entire swargaloka for the sake of 4/n

trishanku with the power of this mantra. Many may not be aware that the ultimate astras namely brahmAstra, brahmashIrSha & brahmadaNDa are but certain arrangement/rearrangement of the gAyatri mantra only. The chief prayer of the mantra is not addressed to particular 5/n

deity of the Hindu pantheon but the savitr devatA of the sun and "dhI pracodana" or kindling or exciting the intellect as the fruit. So much for the power of this mantra. Now the question is what the Hindu community at large has done to harness the power of this mantra 6/n

for the spiritual & material upliftment of Hindus. This question assumes significance in the light of various researches that's being carried out in other countries particularly Germany Australia & the USA. I'm sure the researchers don't have the clue to unlocking many 7/n

secrets of this mantra which is available in many tantric texts. But even with such limitations if the research works have brought out so much then one must understand that what is said and what is known about this mantra is just a very little akin to the tip of an iceberg. 8/n

This question again throws up another important question - the entitlement/eligibility of any individual to receive initiation into this most powerful mantra. I believe it'd be worthwhile to have a meaningful & fruitful discussion on this ! Over to you dear friends - 9/n

Ultimately, the society today stands divided into 2 castes - brahmins & non brahmins! This a sorry state of affairs. An entire society across bhArata varSha thrived on the strength of gAyatri irrespective of caste & sex.

In fact this country's name is bhArata not because it's ruled by bharata but because the ppl were bhA-rata s meaning devoted to light implying agni worship! The Rgveda commences praising agni.

The upaniShads said "uttiShThata mA svapta agnimicchadhvaM bhAratAH meaning, "arise, awake & worship O! bhArata-s implying, the ppl of this bhAratavarSha were all worshippers of the vaidikAgni. But any more! We bhAratIya-s are all divided on the basis of innumerable jAtis and

this jAti based divisions led to discrimination and ultimately paved way for invasion of this country by the mlecchas and further erosion in culture & ethos happened. Today the westerners have realised that their technology is no match for the vedic knowledge of bhArata.

And we are a happy lot aping the west! So, arise, awake & worship the agni bhAratA-s

But not anymore***
