Mission Vision The spiritual acumen and
enlightened wisdom of seer-sage Pandit Shriram
Sharma Acharya had a reach into the deepest depth
of human mind and emotional core. He could feel
the agony of the masses through heart. He could
therefore identify the root cause of the ailing
state of the world today as the crisis of
faith, peoples ignorance of the powers of the
inner self, and the lack of righteous attitude
that have evaporated the oceans of joy from
peoples life and polluted it with ever
increasing insecurities, infirmities and
complexities. Realizing the hidden power of
thoughts, quite relevant in the present era of
intellectual evolution, he pioneered the Mission
of Thought Transformation, Dissemination of
Scientific Spirituality and Social and Cultural
Reformation and Elevation with collective
participation of awakened souls. All World
Gayatri Pariwar was propounded by him to
accomplish this noble goal with collective
participation of altruistic talents and
duty-bound people from all walks of life and all
parts of the world.

10
There is definitely a lot of things in common.
11
The need of the age is Bharatiya Samskriti
Punarutthan
12
This can be done only by reviving Maa Gayatri who
is the origin of The Vedas- the foundation of
our Samskriti
13
VEDMATA GAYATRI
THE ORIGIN OF
14
Veda means Supreme Knowledge. Rig, Yaju, Sam and
Atharva are four branches of knowledge.
15

16
Rigved. Spiritual wellbeing fulfilment, self
realization, peace of mind, Brahma-Nirvana,
dutifulness, love, Tapas, compassion, beneficen
ce, generosity, service etc.
17
Yajurved. Generosity, valour, courage,
gallantry, self defence, leadership, fame,
victory, power, dignity etc.
18
Samved deals with
Games, Sports, Amusement, Recreation, Music,
Arts, Literature, Sensual enjoyment , Beauty,
Harmony, Poetic imagery dynamism, Refined
taste, etc.
19
Atharva Veda.
Wealth prosperity, Accumulation of money and
resources, Medicines, Food grains, Materials,
metals, Buildings, Vehicles, Animals and
similar other materials of worldly wellbeing
20
If the subtle and material, internal and external
activities and imaginations of any living being
are seriously and scientifically examined, it
will appear that its entire consciousness moves
within these four spheres.

• The current of knowledge of all living-beings
  flows only in the four directions of
• Rik-spiritual wellbeing and fulfilment ,
• Yaju- valour, (Moksha)
• (3) Sam- enjoyment, (Kam)
• (4) Atharva- prosperity.

21
These are four faces of Brahma. Brahma has been
described four- faced, because although having
only one face, there is outflow of four currents
of knowledge from his mouth. Although supreme
Knowledge or law which is called Veda is one, it
manifests in four different aspects.
This is the secret behind the four arms of
Vishnu. For the spontaneous development of these
four aspects, four stages of human life (Ashrams)
and four social divisions (Varnas) have been
formed. Childhood is the stage of playfulness
and self development Youth of raising a family
and earning money, Vanprastha of virility, and
Sanyas of doing welfare activities.
22
These four kinds of knowledge are off-shoots of
that creative consciousness of Brahma which has
been described in the ancient scriptures by the
name of Gayatri.
Thus, Gayatri is mother of four Vedas and it is,
therefore, called Vedmata.

Now let us consider its gross form. Before
creating the four Vedas, Brahma created Gayatri
Mantra consisting of twenty-four letters. Every
letter of this Mantra is instinct with a superbly
refined subtle conscious energy field from which
have emanated the four Vedas and their branches
and sub branches.

Gayatri - The Source of Occult Powers
29
The root cause of all human suffering in the
world is
30
Lack
Infirmity
31
These three kinds of suffering can be removed by
invoking the triple currents of the occult powers
of Gayatri. Hreem Saraswati removes
ignorance,
32
Shreem Lakshmi removes lack
33
Kleem Kali removes infirmity.
34
ACTIVATION OF INTERNAL POWER CENTRES BY GAYATRI
SADHANA
35
The masters of Mantra-Vidya know that words are
uttered by different parts of the mouth such as,
throat (larynx), tongue, teeth, lips and the root
of the tongue. During speech, the nerve-fibres of
the particular parts of the mouth from which
sound emits stretch upto different parts of the
body and put pressure on the corresponding
glands. If particular glands of the person
concerned are diseased or dysfunctional he starts
stammering while uttering the specific words.
36
Yogis know that some specific energies lie hidden
in these glands, Shat- Chakras (six energy
centre) related to the Sushumana are quite
wellknown but there are several other such glands
in the body. The utterance of different words has
its impact on different glands and by such impact
the energy of these glands gets stimulated.
Mantras have been composed on this basis. There
are twenty-four letters in Gayatri- Mantra which
are related to twenty-four such glands located in
the body which, on getting stimulated, activate
and awaken the powers of righteous wisdom.
37
Singing of Deepak-rag lights up extinguished
lamps. It starts raining when megh-malhar tune is
sung. The melody created by playing flute makes
the snakes wave their hoods in synchronicity,
deer gets swooned and cows start yielding more
milk. The warbling of cuckoo incites passion.
Even strong iron bridges may collapse by the
sound created by the in-step, coordinated and
rhythmic marching of a troop soldiers. The army
is, therefore, forbidden to march rhythmically,
in-step, while crossing a bridge. Dr. Hutchinson
of America has achieved success and fame in
curing several patients suffering from incurable
and painful diseases by different musical sounds.
The vibrations of a specific sound spread in the
ether and attract atoms of similar type and
return to their origin within few moments, duly
charged with appropriate energy which exercises
curative impact in the appropriate area. This is
how Mantras accomplish miraculous effects.
38
The chanting of Gayatri Mantra activates the
network of nerves in the mouth and stimulates
specific glands. No sooner do they get
stimulated, a Vedic symphony is created
which spreads in the ether, takes a round of the
entire universe, coming back to the source with
its energy augmented manifold, capable of
fulfilling the desired purpose. Gayatri Sadhana,
thus, becomes a spiritual as well as a material
boon for the Sadhak.
39
The factor which makes Gayatri Mantra extremely
potent is the sadhaks confidence coupled with
faith
When the Sadhak takes up Sadhana with faith and
confidence Gayatri Mantra becomes much more
effective and proves to be extra-ordinarily
powerful due to the combined effect of faith and
the Mantras own instrinsic spiritual energy
40
Gayatri is Kamdhenu
Gayatri is Kalpa Vraksha
According to Maharshi Vyas just as honey is the
essence of flower, ghrit of milk, in the same way
Gayatri is the essence of all the Vedas.
41
No other mantra has been worshipped and chanted
as much as Gayatri Mantra. Since ages highly
elevated souls have been practising Gayatri
Sadhana. Thus, a huge mass of highly elevated
spiritual energy has been accumulated in subtle
celestial spheres (loks) enveloping the earth.
No other Ved-Mantra possesses so much radiant and
puissant energy as Gayatri Mantra.
42
THE MEANING OF GAYATRI MANTRA
43
Om - Brahma or Almighty God Bhuh - embodiment of
vital spiritual energy (Pran) Bhuvah - destroyer
of sufferings Svah - embodiment of happiness Tat
- that Savituh - bright, luminous like the Sun
Varenyam - best, most exalted Bhargo- destroyer
of sins Devasya- divine Dhimahi- may imbibe
Dhiyo- intellect Yo- who Nah- our Prachodayat
- may inspire
In short it is a prayer to the Almighty Supreme
God, the Creator of entire cosmos, the essence of
our life existence, who removes all our pains and
sufferings and grants happiness beseeching His
divine grace to imbibe within us His Divinity and
Brilliance which may purify us and guide our
righteous wisdom on the right path.
44
Eternity or Sound and Science of Mantra
45
Omnipotent Role of Sound in the Universe
46
The existence of the material world is said to
have originated from the cosmic impulse, the
infinite bang of Ïabda. The big-bang theory of
the modern science agrees with this conclusion of
the iÌis -scientists of yore.
The vaidika scriptures on the origin of the
universe mention that the absolute existence of
the Brah is expressed and realized in the
sublime vibrations of Ïabda and N³da.
The knowledge of Ïabda Brah N³da Brah is an
important branch of the Indian school
of spirituality. The science and philosophy of
Ïabda Brah encompasses the methodology
and effects of mantra-japa, prayers, collective
chanting and s³dhan³s of the veda-mantras and
that of the N³da Brah deals with the genesis,
expansion and influence of music.
47
Linguistically, the word mantra in Sanskrit
implies a specific structure of sonic patterns
coded in syllables and vowels, that works as an
spiriutal tool to liberate the mind from
ignorance, illusion and evil instincts. The
specific configurations of syllables and the
corresponding combinations of phonemes in the
mantras make the latter powerful carriers of
the cosmic energy of sound.
48
In our day-to-day life, we generally come across
with two types of sound vyakta (audible)
and avyakta (non-audible).
The spoken words fall under the first category
and those expressed silently (e.g. while
thinking....) or through the language of mind are
examples of the latter.
The ultra and supersonic forms are avyakta to our
ears, which can normally sense a sound only in
the frequency-range of 20 to 20000 vibrations per
sec. Similarly, the loud noise of a busy road
would be non-audible to a person who is sitting
in a closed house away from the road.... These
examples clearly illustrate that the avyakta
sound also exists in the same reality as the
vyakta one.
49
The sonic vibrations of each spoken or mentally
thought syllable exist in the universe forever.
Mantra Vijó³na is the science of the subliminal
as well as the cosmic powers of sound. The
specific configuration of the syllables compiled
in the mantras makes them important in terms of
associated sonic effect. The enunciation of a
vedic mantra in a specific composition of accent,
pitch, intensity, amplitude and rhythm results in
its expansion (at a pace faster than the laser
beams) in the endless domain of physical energy
waves and consciousness. Because of the unique
property of sound to traverse (via the
electro-magnetic waves) anywhere in the space,
the collective chanting of vaidika mantras can
induce cosmic impact.
50
The treasure of knowledge in the Vedas is encoded
in the form of mantras and chandas (hymns). Every
mantra and chanda has its significant importance.
The G³yatrº Mantra is honored as preeminent in
the science of spirituality and the mantra
vijó³na. This ³di (absolute origin) mantra is a
compilation of nine special words (in ancient
Sanskrit) formed by twenty four syllables.
The japa of this mantra creates rhythmic pressure
on the nerves and also titillates the
extrasensory energy center (the six cakras) and
subtle nerve-bundles (upatyik³s) that generate
soothing effects in the s³dhakas body and mind
and also affect his deep inner self.
51
Because of its unique potential of inspiring the
individual consciousness to link with the
supreme consciousness, the G³yatrº Mah³mantra is
indeed the most powerful and astonishing creation
of Ïabda.
52
All the branches of Mantra- Vijó³na and related
fields of yoga deal with the study and practice
of rhythmic enunciation of mantras and deep
meditation upon the transcendental powers of
Ïabda and N³da hidden in the former. These areas
of research in the science of spirituality and
yoga deal with the knowledge of Ïabda Brah -
N³da Brah.
53
Astonishing Power of Ïabda The Eternal Element
of Sound
54
The scientific investigations on the existence
and properties of sound waves indicate that
the effects of sound could be as physical as
those of the other forms of energy. The Doppler
Effect is worth mentioning in this regard. The
historical breaking of a bridge due to the
superimposition of the cyclic sound created by
the orderly footsteps of Napoleons army Falls
of several huge and stout bridges due to the
synchronization of sound of noisy winds or noises
of the surroundings for instance, the falls of
the Lao Bernard bridge in France in 1852 and
1871, the Ohio rivers bridge in USA in 1854 and
those of its Niagara water-fall in 1864 and 1889,
the bridge over Tacoma river in Washington, in
1940..., etc are some of the well known
examples of this significant effect.
55
Some German scientists are said to have gained,
during the time of first World War, the knowledge
about the development of a weapon that could
produce sound waves of a frequency higher than
105 vibrations per second. Such waves would ruin
the targeted persons in less than a second
because the resultant sonic effect would destroy
the neurons of the subjects at a rate faster than
that due to a high power direct electrical
shock...
56
Occurrences of earthquakes are also largely
attributed to similar effects, of periodic
resonance of superimposed sound waves (at
specific frequencies in a specific order) deep
inside the earths surface.
Modern scientific research has gone a long way in
its study of the sonic waves. These investigations
coupled with the advancement of electronics have
now made the speech recognition by machines like
computers and robots, an established reality.
Applications of the radio waves and the lasers
have become integral part of modern life. It is
not far from sight when experiments will be set
in the advanced laboratories to verify and
demonstrate the super natural physical effects of
classical music such as the automatic kindling
of oil-lamps by R³ga Dºpak, the potential of R³ga
Malh³r in commencing rainfall at any time at the
singers will, the power of R³ga Ïankar in
transforming a dry wooden stem into a blossoming
tree..., etc.
57
The progress, at the same pace, of the current
practice of using the creative power of music
in psychological treatments, stress management
and in healthier maintenance of animals
and vegetation...etc., would certainly pave the
ways for the realization and use of the knowledge
of the Ïabda and N³da for an overall ascent of
personality as described in the Indian scriptures
of yore.
On the subtler front as well, modern science is
moving towards investigating, to some extent,
the latent powers and subtle energies of Ïabda
(N³da) as described in the ancient Indian
scriptures. The journey of research from atoms to
electromagnetic waves has finally been oriented
on the fundamental and vital role of sound waves
pervaded everywhere in the cosmic expansion.
The big-bang hypothesis of the origin of the
universe is also coming closer to the theories
cited in the vaidika literature.
58
Constructive Applications of Sound in the Modern
Age
59
The discovery of radio waves had created
revolution in the scientific development of the
modern world.
The pulse-echo method for testing of metals was
developed in 1940-50 based on Prof. Dazischs
research on ultrasonic waves. Contemporary
research on ultrasound has led to multifaceted
applications in engineering and sciences.
Use of ultrasound in noninvasive technologies
like the EMR, sonography and ultrasonic surgery,
in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases like
arthritis, gall-stone and in complicated surgical
operations has taken a predominant place in the
medical technology today.
The frantic running around by animals like cats,
dogs, rabbits...etc., hours before the occurrence
of an earthquake in the nearby area indicates
the capabilities of these animals in sensing the
infrasonic vibrations deep below the earths
surface. Systematic experimental studies on the
changes in the behaviors of several animals and
birds have given conclusive results in this
regard. The Japanese make use of the Goldfish to
know about the tremors well in advance. Some
species of elephants and fin whales are found to
make efficient use of infrasonic signals for
deciding the direction of their future
movements....
