The foundation of all spiritual text is the Vedas. The foundation of the Vedas Gayatri and the foundation of Gayatri is From evolved Gayatri; from Gayatri evoled Vedic wisdom and from that evolved findings of spiritual texts and social trends.
Patanjali Maharaj has said:
'(OM) Is expressive of God.’
(OM) is the king of all mantras is the un-struck sound. It arises naturally. Is composed of three syllables: A+U+M+ the half syllable is such a wonderful mantra of God’s name that there have been many explanations about it many spiritual texts have been written on it and yet no one has been able to claim that ‘I have written completely about its glory’. Jnaneshwar Maharaj Gita.
I’ bow to the primal Force as enunciated in the Vedas. Victory to my experience of the nature of Self.’
Jnaneshwar Maharaj has begun jnaneshwari Gita by offering salutations to God in the form of (OM)
Dhanvantri Maharaj writes that (OM) is the supreme mantra.
Veda Vyasji Maharaj says, This pranav mantra forms the bridge connecting all mantras.
In case one has lost his or her direction in life, has been thrown into a helpless situation, Lady Luck is annoyed with him, family friends have started deserting him neighbours shun him, love him no more, misfortune has attacked him from all directions that is one has become devoid of direction, support, wealth, power one shouldn’ t get disappointed. Instead, he should do japa of God’ s name with morning and evening for three hours. within a year, such a one, by God’ s grace will be respected by all, will be all will be successful in all fields and will be endowed with all qualities. That is why one should never curse oneself by feeling helpless, inferior and without support. God resides in you as your True Self and you can get’ s name natur-rally; why then should you feel sad?
Every night do japa of for min utes before going to sleep. Then you will see the miraculous effect of this mantra! See how wonderful you night and mornings become in comparison to ones before you started the japa! You will feel the difference the first day itself!
A mantra is associated with a Rishi, a deity, a meter (chhand), a seed and a clue to the stical power of mantra (keelak). Once a Sadguru who gives a Guru mantra with knowledge of these intricacies is found and the disciple obeys the sadguru with faith and reverence, the work is done. The meter of mantra is Gayatri, its deity is God Himself and Rishi of the mantra is also God.
(OM) Has nineteen divine powers protective powers, power of stimulation, power of luster, power of love, understanding powers, power of oneness with Supreme Consciousness etc. Listening with due reverence to the glory of and its divine powers gives tremendous benefits This is what learned Sanskrit sage Panini has said.
He was a moron initially. His name was counted amongst the greatest idiots. For fourteen years he unable to proceed to class ll from class i. Then he worshipped of Lord Shiva’s and mantra. He got Lord Shiva’s Darshsn and with His grace he created Sanskrit grammar and even to day sage Panini’s Sanskrit grammar is being taught.
(OM) Mantra has nineteen powers:
1. Power of protection: when we do japa of a mantra with it protects our japa and taken Mantra-Diksha is destined to come to trouble or to meet with an accident, the deity of the mantra minimziea the magnitude the accident or the trouble. Thousands of my devotees have experienced this power in their lives in a miraculous way. ‘Oh! The car overturned thrice, but Bapuji! ‘t even get a scratch….Bapuji! I had lost my job, this happened, that happened but consequently that same man called me asked me for forgiveness and reappointed me I even got a promotion…’ people have innumerable experiences of this nature! These experiences display the potency of omnipotent God.
2. power of stimulation: it might be that you and meditation and had become apathetic to wards it probably you were confused about your duties. The power of mantra stimulates you and helps you in your endeavours on the path of Sadhana and you start good progress.
3. power of iustre: with mantra japa, one’s evil tendencies get destroyed and his mind becomes pure. He becomes Iustrous and radiant in thought and conduct.This does not mean that miracles will happen a day two. Will happen gradually. No one becomes a graduate in a day; no one finishes his M.A. studies in a day. Similarly, one’ s life doesn’t get transformed miraculously in a day. After having taken a mantra, by and by as you do your japa with faith, concentration and purity, the benefits of the mantra will keep accruing to you.
4. power of Love: As your japa progresses, your love towards the deity of the mantra, the Rishi associated with the mantra and towards the potency of the mantra will keep growing.
5. power of fulfillment: As you do japa of the mantra, you will have progressively greater sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Those who follow a regular regimen of doing japa feel lacking and unfulfilled if they miss out doing japa on some day. On the days they do their japa they feel contented and satisfied within.
Those who have assimilated power of mantra become forceful in what they say. People don’ t feel so contented listening to a politician delivering his speech but when those who have assimilated the power of mantra speak, people become nobler and feel highly contented and they become disciples of the master.
6. power of reading others’ minds: Mantra japa develops the power to know the feelings of others. Like the omniscient God, you can become a ware of others’ feel ings, the happenings of the past the future in the person’ s life people can comment, ‘Oh! You are omniscient!’ But inreality this development of the divine power of within you.
7. power of oneness with Supreme Consciousness: Many yogis have the power of knowing all innermost feelings of others present, past and future. in playful moments, they can tell you that you were like this and in such and such birth; you were at such and such place; now you are like this. When sage Deer ghatapa son paavan was grievinh over his parents’ death, elder brother punyak told him about his previous lives. This legend appears in ‘Sri Yoga Vasishtha Maharamayana’.
8. power of Listening: with the power attained by mantra japa, one is able to grasp very subtle, secret words. When Shukdevji Maharaj started satsang for king parlkshit, The Gods came there. Shukdevji spoke to the Gods. Maa Anandmayi too had direct contact with the celestial world. Many other saints have this power. From a distant, foreign iand, a devotee out, ‘Guruji! Protect me!...’ His cry reaches Gurudev!
9. power of governance: japa of develops the power to enforce order and to rule
10. power of accomplishment of goals: The japa of giver power to accomplish one’s goals.
11. The power of Action: The capability always to remain immersed inaction, the development of frame of mind of mind that enables one to remain immersed in action.
12. Power to Fulfil Others’ wishes: God is without desire but one who does japa of develops the ability to fulfil the wishes of others. That is why people pay obeisance to saints, queue up for their Darshan, make offerings and ask for blessings. This power means that God who is without desire Himself llluminates the path of fulfillment of noble wishes.
13. power of enlightenmet: The japa of makes the heart more enlightened.
14. Power of omnipresence: You can establish oneness with the pure Consciousness, with Brahman that pervades each and every atom in the universe.
15. Power of Embracing all: The power to develop affinity with others. The japa of you will be able to develop affection and ties even with unknown people, what to say of those who you are related to you! Those who do not earn the wealth of mantra japa are not considered as therir own even by their family members but those who have amassed the ewalth of japa of are loved by their families, the people in their society, the people of their village, their town, state. The whole country nay the world becomes blissful and full of divine love thinking of them
16. Power of Vanquishing: Can person who does japa of become violent? Yes, he will become violent but what kind of violence will he indulge in? He will van quish evil thoughts and he will not come under the pressure of evil people. That is he will become capable of destroying ignorance and evil tendencies.
17. Power of Giving: A person who does japa of will become a giver of nourishment and prosperity. Then he won’t be a beggar; he will have the power to give. He will not seek anything from deities or even God; he himself will start giving. There was a saint. He would do japa of and meditate. He used to live alone. He used to go out in the mornings but he would remain quiet. People would come to him to get their wishes fulfilled. People would fold their hands in respect and woild sit down in the queue. While walking amidst the people he would suddenly hit someone. Would become happy, his work would be accomplished. The unemployed would get a job, the childless would be blessed with a child and the ailing would be cured of illness. People would keep their cheeks ready. But only the fortunate ones would get slapped! I have not met that Maharaj but I have been told about him by people who got his Darshan and benefited from it.
18. Power of Enjoyment: At the time of final dissolution of the universe, the UI timate Absolute Substratum ingests all creation into itself. Similarly, one who does japa of has the ability to absorb all sorrows, worries, attractions, fears withim. Him just as everything gets merged in the ocean, all gets merged in him and he will be playing blissfully with them like the ocean plays with its own waves… otherwise the owner of one or two shops, one or two factories gets beset with worry. But not just one or two shops factories, one ashram or one samiti, 1100, 1200 or 1500 are run excellently under the aegis of one who has done this kind of Sadhana without causing any disturbance his mind! For such a person there is new joy, ever new bliss, ever new play.
Swami Ramtirth used to sing:
‘Every day is a new wedding, Daily there are congratulations.
When the love becomes a mendicant full of joy, then what is the reason behind your sadness!,
19. power of nurturing: japa develops powers of creation and nurturing.
