SUPER MANTRA GAYATRI-THE MANTRA OF THIS NEW ERA (Part 1)

Today is the sacred festival of Gayatri Jayanti and Ganga Dasshera too. Gayatri is called the soul and River Ganga is called its body. Both the soul and body were born on the same day. Today all of us have gathered to celebrate the festival of Gayatri Jayanti. Today when we glance at history we find that today River Ganga too had incarnated. Friends! I wonder how River Ganga manifested at first in the inner soul of Bhagiratha? Ordinary people are very sharp and shrewd. They fail to understand what others’ say and shall talk about only their own opinion. They can only visualize their selfish gains. Such people never realize their righteous duties, service to society, spiritual endeavor and Almighty God. They cannot see anything beyond their bloated stomachs. But yet when God must have entered a person’s psyche called Bhagiratha, he must have thought that instead of looking after one person’s material comforts of greater importance is service towards world society and culture. Bhagiratha thought thus and what a feat was enacted by him. He created a bond between River Ganga and devotion to God. This then is a symbol of Bhakti. This devotion or Bhakti blooms forth from the inner soul. Bhagirath was a royal prince. He had his own kingdom yet for the welfare of mankind he shed his selfishness and avarice. When God’s devotion dawns in the heart it is in the form of compassion and sympathy. We call Gayatri our Mother. We call River Ganga too our Mother. Mother is not the name of some goddess or female. Mother is the name of a great ideal and a pious principle. Gayatri is called mother because she oozes with compassion and loving sympathy. Mother itself connotes compassion and loving sympathy. Mother is one who melts with love. Today people worship Santoshi Mata and we know not in which place people have etched her. Story pertaining to it is so thrilling. Once, there was a woman. Her mother in law would harass her. Santoshi Mata appeared and hammered the mother in law. After this her husband would behave wickedly with her. Santoshi Mata appeared and hammered him too. This then is the story of fraudulent people. When a mother comes in the life of a human she does so in blissful ecstasy and in the form of a sacred ideal. Even in the bosom of Bhagiratha, mother manifested. In his heart must have flowed compassion. This was the River Ganges of sacred sentiments which continued to become gigantic. It became the gigantic Ganga that manifested from the Himalaya Mountain. Bhagiratha rendered Ganga helpless by saying: O Mother Ganges! You dwell in heaven and since I have to yearn for even one drop of water you should feel ashamed. Bhagiratha rendered Ganga totally helpless. The Ganga of heaven was living a life of restful peace but on noting Bhagiratha’s compassion, self sacrifice and a sense of goodwill towards all, she became helpless. Today’s historical day is very important since River Ganges came down to earth from heaven. How gigantic is Ganga? Have you ever thought about this? On hearing Bhagiratha’s plea Ganga came to earth from Himalaya Mountains and since people on earth were in anguish it gave them a new life of peaceful serenity. This was due to Bhagiratha’s renunciation and penance as a result of which along with River Ganga descing from heaven glorified earth. Today’s day of Ganga Avatar is very important. Lest Ganga had remained in heaven could we all have executed worship rites and penance on its hallowed shores as we are doing today? Ganga has glorified entire world society. Today we are not celebrating some woman’s birthday but that we are celebrating great ideals and honesty based principles. If you so wish, you can call it Mother Gayatri. Today is also the day of Gayatri’s manifestation. A lion is very dangerous and once it finds its prey, it lies down for a long time span. You all must not become thus. According to me more dangerous than a lion is an arrogant person who just selfishly fills his and his children’s stomachs. He pays no heed to society’s welfare. A lone elephant can be very dangerous. An arrogant person too is quite similar to this elephant and such selfishly egoistic people are ruining world society. When people persist in only increasing their bank balance, only work for their family’s material needs cannot be called human beings because in reality they are demons. Such dangerous people destroy entire society. On the other hand there are people who take up spirituality but even they are egoistic because they only want their own salvation and spiritual uplifting. Such people too are selfish. Today is Gayatri Jayanti and Gayatri was worshiped by its seer Vishwamitra. He gave benefits of his great penance to entire world society. One day he asked his disciple King Harishchandra: May I kill you? May I destroy you? In reply Harishchandra said: Since you have achieved glory via difficult austerities pertaining to Gayatri, I too am ready to get burnt totally. I pray to you to joyously ‘destroy’ me so as to test me in the fire of spirituality. O revered Guru! Even I shall as a result gain benefits of ecstatic divine bliss. And lo behold! King Harishchandra passed this fiery test with flying colors and attained glory in the entire world. When Mahatma Gandhi saw a drama based on King Harishchandra’s life, he actually wept and cried and that very moment he vowed that he too would live a life of truthfulness only. A life full of hardships cannot cause any harm at all. Lest hardships disappeared from man’s life, his life would not even have value of 1 cent. In fact hardships help man’s life radiate and advance in an all round manner. As a result saints and great leaders in all walks of life have attained stupendous glory and have marched ahead in life successfully. If a person fails to face his own difficult problems valiantly, how can he help others overcome their strife? I have always faced dire situations and hardships. Friends! These hardships are nothing but penance for us and are most required for our material and spiritual development. Instead of fearing strife invite it valiantly. Strife helps radiate our inner personality and sharpens and sanctifies his psyche. It renders a person’s soul akin to 24 carat gold. It makes man ethical and full of integrity. When Gayatri entered Vishwamitra’s life, it first melted his psyche by showering hardships on him. Thus by heating him in such fire of austerities he was rendered truly great. Instead of talking to you about ancient times I shall talk of today’s times. Today is the historic day of Gayatri Jayanti. This is Almighty God’s day. You cannot see it. When Lord Rama was swinging in his cradle did you see God there? You could see God only when he killed demon Ravan and established Ramrajya. But there are such people who can at first shot recognize God. In the same way even today God’s Avatar has already taken place. It is Prajna Avatar which is the demand of today’s hour. Whenever wickedness and atrocities rule over earth God takes an Avatar. Today’s situations are very similar and hence Prajna Avatar has already manifested. This Avatar has already been recognized by many people akin to Lord Rama and they have immersed their very life force in its divine mission on earth. Today’s day is very important. Today is Gayatri Jayanti. Starting from today itself, in future also a divine upheaval shall take place in world humanity. All vile tradition and tainted beliefs shall be uprooted. Unethical behavior shall come to a grinding halt. All world religions and cultures shall unite under one flag and heaven shall incarnate on earth. The world shall unite and only one Almighty God shall rule the world. Today we see people of this world wearing various types of clothing and speak various languages. In future these differences shall go away. Social behavior, cultures and languages shall become one. Everywhere religions, nations and cultures shall unite as one. In future a gigantic transformation shall take place the world over. The sentiment of ‘Vasudhaiva kutumbakam’ or ‘world united peacefully as a family’ shall spread the world over. A person earning money shall no longer selfishly look after his family alone but that instead, he shall have to contribute towards the welfare of society, family and the nation. No doubt we earn fat incomes but know for sure that it is not only as though we individually have a right over it. Our aged mother can no longer earn cash. Hence we must look after her too. We must make arrangements for her requirements. No doubt you have a right to earn money yet only to a limit you can use it for yourself. You cannot eat alone because you have to feed society, family, servants etc. I do not know whether you can visualize future times that shall come by but I can see clearly that this is exactly what is going to happen. Today is Mother Gayatri’s birthday. This is a very grand day. There was a time when Mother Gayatri was Mother of Vedas since she had given birth to all the Vedas. She had given birth to all cultures and civilizations. At that time Mother Gayatri had become Mother of Vedas. After that she became Mother of Divinity. India’s citizens were divine in those times. They themselves ate very frugally yet fed others sumptuously. They ate less but fed others much more. Brahmins ate less but fed others more. Rishis ate less but fed more. Indian citizens ate less but fed others more. Indian citizens shared their wealth with the entire world. They then traveled to other countries like Indonesia, America and the entire world and spread their brilliant aura everywhere. They were divine humans. They experienced displeasure while eating alone but were full of joy when they fed others. They felt ashamed to eat alone. Once, even I faced embarrassment. As per someone’s bidding Mataji (My holy consort) gave me a glass of sweet lime juice. I was busy working, and thus when Mataji gave me the glass I drank it. Yet afterwards I felt in my tummy as though someone had given me acid to drink. I then came to know that it was sweet lime juice. Immediately I put my finger in my throat and vomited the juice. Till all the juice came out of my body I felt agitated. Mataji asked me whether a fly had entered my juice. I said no but yet how could I drink this expensive juice? My children as per my advice and one call of mine have come to dwell here in Gayatri Tapobhumi. I can neither give them milk to drink nor butter in their meals. Their children also go without milk. Hence how can I drink lime juice all alone?
