"Om Bhoor bhuvaya Swaha Tatsa vitur varenyam;
Bhargo
devasya dheemahi dhiyo yonah prachodayaat."
The Gayatri Mantra is
one of the most cherished ancient mantras from the Rigveda written in Sanskrit
around 2500-3500 years ago. It is a prayer directed towards the supreme God.
For centuries, this prayer was kept a secret and was accessible only to a
specific group of Brahmins of the Hindu community. Today, Gayatri Mantra is
chanted by people from all across the world.
The
payer is translated as:
"Let us meditate towards
the supreme Lord and His Glory who has created the Universe, who is fit to be
worshipped, who is the remover of all sins and ignorance. May he enlighten our
intellect."
Chanting Gayatri Mantra
gradually illuminates our intellect. This prayer is known for its immense
spiritual benefits and is known to put a positive effect on the overall psychology
and well-being of a person. Following are a few reasons why Gayatri Mantra is
good for you:
Provides peace of mind
The Gayatri Mantra
starts with OM, a well known logic sound associated with relaxation. This sound
initiates a vibration from lips to tongue to all through the back of your
throat and skull, thereby calming down your mind and releasing relaxing
hormones by your body.
Improves Immunity
A continuous
chanting of the Gayatri Mantra creates a resonance around the cerebral region
of your skull, which stimulates the Hypothalamus, a gland responsible for
secreting happy hormones. Thus, the happier you become, the stronger becomes
your immunity.
Increases concentration
It has been revealed after many
studies that people who chanted the Gayatri Mantra on a regular basis have
greater concentration and memory. The reason behind this has been suggested
that this mantra activates the various Chakras presents on our face and head,
which are associated with the glands responsible for improving memory and
concentration.
Strengthens heart & respiratory system
The Chanting of Gayatri Mantra improves
the synchronization and regulation of your heart beat by slowing down your
breathing process, which in turn keeps the blood pressure in check and thus,
keeps your heart healthy.
The deeper and controlled breathes
taken during the chanting of the Gayatri Mantra improves the functioning of the
lungs and refines your breathing process.
Reduces and heals stress
Severe stress causes damage to the
healthy cells of our body, while chanting Gayatri Mantra reduces the stress
related damage, and keeps us stress free and healthy.
Improves your psyche and reduces depression
As already mentioned, a regular chanting
of Gayatri Mantra keeps your brain healthy, calm and focused. It also helps in
providing a relief from stress, anxiety and other psychological problems. It
provides relaxation to our nervous system keeping our psyche balanced and
healthy. The stimulation of the pineal gland by Gayatri mantra a helps in
keeping us away from depression.
Gayatri Mantra provides
a row of benefits to the human body and mind, and hence the chanting of this
mantra is even suggested by a number of internationally known scientists as
well. However, in the present day of official and other routine engagements,
