IMPORTANCE OF SHREE GAYATRI UPASANA
For ages innumerable Gayatri upasana by chanting of gayatri mantra has been recognized as the most effective & powerful Upasana as compare to others .
The researchers of Gayatri Mantra hold the view that it is the mother (Janani) of all the Mantras.There has been unbroken continuity of the practice of chanting of Gayatri by sages & Rishis.It is believed that by chanting Gayatri Mantra regularly, one gets protection from evil forces, badthoughts, enlightens the upasaka ,sharpens mental faculties &creates a strong cover up moral excellence.
Late shri Acharya Sriram sharma , a great exponent of Gayatri & fonder of Gayatri parivar has conducted intensive research on the impact of Gayatri Japa on the mental & physical health of a person.He has recommended Gayatri upasana for all persons irrespective of all gender & community.
In the great celebrity grantha of Sri guru chritra, one entire chapter deals with Gayatri Mantra upasana.
In the recent years a cardiologist has brought out a thesis on the impact of Gayatri Japa on the patients suffering from cardiac disorders, hypertension & diabetes .While understanding the usefulness of the MANTRA as a holistic approach ,he has submitted that the patients are benefited. This off course has to be an additional remedy to the modern medicines.
It is my experience of last several years that the regular Upasana of Gayatri does give great mental peace & hence develops strong moral base .Apart from many other benefits which are hard to be proved .
