Introduction
About the Gāyatrī Mantra
The Gāyatrī Mantra originated thousands of years ago, when a great Seer attained a high degree of Enlightenment, a high degree of Oneness with the Solar Logos, the Divine Being within the Sun. In the state of Cosmic Consciousness, the Intelligence within that great Sage wished for a way that others could experience what he was experiencing and immediately the answer came forth in the mantric syllables now known as the Gāyatrī Mantra. When he returned from that deep state of Spiritual Trance he began giving the Mantra to his own pupils, who progressed to attain union with the Solar Logos, the Divine Light.
So we know that there is something we can use whereby the Divine Light will respond to us and intelligently know that we are invoking it and wanting to work with it to accomplish its perfect work. If we think, as a philosopher would, that we can just ask the Light to come and automatically transform the world, it won’t. Thinking has no effect on it at all because the Light is supremely intelligent and it has to work in a certain way. And that way, that technique of intelligently working with the Light, is the Gāyatrī Mantra. When we work with the Gāyatrī we are invoking the Light that shines through all Creation. We are making a conscious decision to work with the Light because it is a field of Absolute Intelligence and therefore working with it will make our intelligence absolute. When you become the Light you become omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient, because the Light is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.
The Gāyatrī Mantra is the Speech of God, the Song of God, an Invocation to the Light that the Light Itself created for us.
The word GĀYATRĪ literally means the “Song of God”, and because it is a divine song, the Gāyatrī Mantra is motivated by Divinity. It is an invocation to the Light that the Light Itself created for us. In all its forms it has a certain inner rhythm, an inner pattern not produced externally by a musician. Nowadays in India many musicians make songs about the Gāyatrī or use the Mantra to make songs or melodies, but these are obviously created mentally, or externally; they are not an impulse from within. I received the Gāyatrī from within; I did not hear it externally. Only when you internally receive a mantra can you understand that there is a divine impulse inherent in the structure of the mantra itself—a divine impulse that is the way the Divine Light works.
The Gāyatrī and the Divine Mother-Father
The Gāyatrī is a mysterious mantra because it invokes the Divine Mother and the Divine Father at the same time; that is, it invokes the Deity in Its fullness. The Divine Father is the transcendental aspect of the Deity and the Divine Mother, the Gāyatrī Devī, is the aspect that is with us here, right now. In other words, the Mother is the Deity who is close to us because She rules the planes up to the level of the Buddhic dimension, and the Father is the Deity who is far away from us because He rules Nirvāṇa and the planes above Nirvāṇa.1 On the higher levels you do not experience the Mother at all; on the lower levels you do not experience the Father at all.
Of course, when we talk about “mother and father” they are only symbols; we are using human words to explain cosmic realities. Do not think of your mother and father as examples of the Divine Mother and the Divine Father. The important point is that the Divinity is right here with us now. It is among us, within us, everywhere, omnipresent. This is where the magic of the Gāyatrī Mantra comes in: it embodies the Gāyatrī Devī, the Mother aspect of the Divinity, who is close to us.
The Divine Mother is so close that She is actually the guiding force behind the Elements. Now, in ancient times the scientists were the Rishis and Sages of the day. They didn’t chop up everything into minute particles and then name every particle like scientists do nowadays. They divided Creation into five different regions: Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Aether (ĀKĀŚA). Very simple. And these basic five divisions make up not only the Physical World but also the Inner Worlds. There is no need to make any smaller divisions than these. Everything which is solid is contained in Earth, everything liquid is contained in Water, everything gaseous is contained in Air, everything fiery is contained in Fire and everything that is subtle ether is contained in Aether.
In this particular part of Creation the Five Elements have a natural way of working, which is purely automatic. Your body functions in a certain way, your emotions function in a certain way, your mind functions in a certain way—they are the Five Elements functioning in their own regions of Creation, in their own particular ways. (Your mind is composed of the Five Elements and your Soul is composed of the Five Elements on a higher stratum of Creation, a higher frequency of vibration.) So, basically, at the moment a human being is what a human being is by nature.
Now, when you intone the Gāyatrī in meditation or chanting, the Divine Mother begins to shine in your being. And then with Her Light She infuses the elements you are made of—the elements which made your Soul, your mind, your emotional nature and your physical body. And as the Divine Mother shines She begins to transmute those elements right down to the physical level, which means that you are being reborn, regenerated, recreated according to the Original Plan of Creation. This is why the Gāyatrī Mantra is irreplaceable, the greatest gift anybody can give you.
The more you work with the Gāyatrī, the more you become transmuted to a higher vibration, a higher reality—physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually (Soul-wise). Nothing else can do that: science cannot do that for you, ordinary religion cannot do that for you, philosophy cannot do it, psychology cannot do it, medicine cannot do it, politics cannot do it. Only the Gāyatrī can transform your nature.
In other words, the Gāyatrī speeds up human evolution. It is as if a long time ago, at the dawn of Humankind, there was an agreement made between the Deity and Man that going along the Way of Nature was going to be a slow process. First there was a downward involution and then an upward evolution. The involution has been completed over the last hundreds of millions of years, and now the evolution has just started. In this particular age, therefore, we are at the rock bottom, at the dead end of the involution of Matter.
That’s why the world is so materialistic; we’ve reached the pit of materiality. From now on, theoretically, evolution starts moving upward. But the curve is extremely slow; it will take ages and ages before we climb out of material consciousness into astral consciousness and then Causal Consciousness and Buddhic Consciousness—if it is left to how Evolution was directed to unfold on this planet naturally.
However, the great Sages of old foresaw this long, painful process and asked: Do we have to stick to this pattern of evolution where human beings suffer for millions of years through all kinds of ignorance and bad conditions? Can we not make it shorter? Then, a new way of working with the Gāyatrī was born—a way to rejuvenate our basic constitution so that we can more quickly move upward out of the lower regions, out of this lower consciousness, to the more divine states of Being.
The Gāyatrī Mantra is the Way of Cosmic Vision.2 This has been ordained for thousands of years and of course in the olden days it was kept secret because the Gurus and Seers would only give it to those who were ready to work with the Light. In India, the Gāyatrī was not allowed to be uttered by anyone other than the priest class, the upper levels of the Brahman class, so the ordinary person on the street was not allowed to even know about it. Although it was good for the priestcraft to keep that knowledge, the problem was that it was not shared with other people. When you have knowledge it’s not really helpful for Humankind to keep it to yourself.
So Gāyatrī Devī sees that sometimes people get stuck and are not sharing out what they should be, so She reveals it Herself, personally, to someone who will start the process of working with the Gāyatrī Mantra. I received the Gāyatrī Mantra about thirty-three years ago from Gāyatrī Devī Herself, not from a priest or any human being, and I started using the Mantra in our School, but only occasionally because I understood that the world was not ready for it, and neither was the School.
Over the years the Gāyatrī Devī communicated more information to me, more of the Plan and Knowledge regarding the Mantra and what we as a Spiritual School are supposed to be doing. This means that now the Gāyatrī Mantra has to become worldwide—not that we are going to put it in newspapers, but that...
