Revival of Rishi Tradition

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

The seers and sages (rishis) of the Vedic Age had a reach in the deepest depth of human psychology and the mysteries of Nature. The altruistic path to life preached by them is therefore universal and eternal source of all round happiness and progress.

The founder of Gayatri Pariwar pioneered the resurrection of the Rishi culture by simultaneous renaissance and expansion of the reformative and constructive endeavours of the leading Rishi of the Vedic Age. He reviewed the immortal
contributions of the divine culture of India to the rest of the world and endeavoured for nurturing and re-establishing the foundational elements of
the Indian Culture and the roots of its divine nature in new scientific light through several activities of the Gayatri Pariwar.

The Vedic Culture emanates from Gayatri and Yagya. The philosophy, science and sadhana methods of Gayatri and the rituals of Yagya lie in the heart of the mission. These are studied and revived in new scientific light. Propagation of
these in ideal vedic tradition by the mission has eliminated the misconceptions and brought in sight the righteous knowledge and enormous benefits of doing
yagyas of different kinds and practising Gayatri Meditation.

Higher-level research on Gayatri Mantra and the scientific effects of Yagya is also carried out in the mission's research centre.

Advent of Satyug= Pujya Gurudev

Gayatri Maa Adya Shakti

Advent of Satyug

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

      Gayatri is known as Adya Shakti because Brahma who was born from the Navel lotus of Vishnu was directed to take support of this Maha Mantra for creation. Brahma worshiped it and performed tap and brought forth all animate and inanimate creation.

     This great power will now be known as the power of a new golden era because the deadly poisons permeating the atmosphere, environment and minds and hearts of human-beings can be neutralised only with the help of collective Sadhana  of this Mantra. The new era is also descending in the form of Pragya (Enlightened Intelligence) movement, or Pragyavtar. The next era will be known as Pragya Yug  (Era of Enlightenment). It can also be called Satyug.

       The sum and substance of this enunciation is that the people of the world will soon live like one family. There will emerge one unifying spiritual vision, making  the earth a happy home for all the peoples and nations of the world, united in universal love, understanding and good will. It will be true unity in diversity Sovereign nation states will become obsolete. None will be poor or rich. This earth is mother of all. All humankind will unite together to use its bounties. Glaring economic and social disparities will be eradicated. Everybody will get according to his  need and will have to work according to his capacity. Everyone will live on his own self-earned income. Nobody will subsist on ill-begotten money. None will get an opportunity to give unearned wealth through inheritance and indulge in riotous merry making.

             No country will be allowed to subjugate a neighboring country to fulfill l its selfish ends. This one world organisation will have a combined judicial system and there will be one peace keeping force directly under the global government. Disputes will be settled by Panchayats. It will be the duty of the global government to check any infringement of universally accepted and acclaimed laws of harmonious collective living. Immorality, atrocities, blind faith, evil traditions, foolishness etc. will become things of the past. None will be required to indulge in litigation to get  justice. Women will command greater respect than men. Family planning will be strictly enforced so that the world population is stabilised. Universal education and health will be the responsibility of the state. Old persons will also work in accordance with their capacity. Everyone will have to adopt the principle of simple living and high thinking. Nobody will be allowed to usurp the fundamental rights of anybody else. Culprits will be given exemplary deterrent punishment.

                     People will earn money for livelihood in a limited time. The rest of the time will be utilized in self-refinement and in rendering selfless service for the good of others. Retirement will not mean a permit for idleness. Not only his family but society as a whole will get benefit of the wisdom and talents of an old person. Scientific discoveries will be applied more in the field of spiritual upliftment rather than for increase of physical or material well-being. Spiritual super-science will get preference over material science.

                    This prediction of the advent of the new golden era is foretold in the scriptures of the world and has been foreseen by the seer-vision of mystic masters around the world.

The Siddha Guru of Gayatri Mantra= Pujya Gurudev

Gayatri Mantra

The Siddha Guru of Gayatri Mantra

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

                  The diksha of Gayatri-Mantra Sadhana and the yagyopavita samskara (thread ceremony) are intermittently linked with dedication to a noble Guru. The Gayatri mantra is referred as the Guru Mantra. In the times of yore, the children used to go to the gurukuls for comprehensive education and training and ideal personality development. The learning of Vedas used to begin there with the diksha of Gayatri as the Guru Mantra. Today we may find lots of fake gurus and their variegating, arbitrary guru mantras. But in the ancient age of the divine Indian Culture, the Gayatri Mantra alone was revered for diksha.

               Dedication to the spiritual master (guru) helps cultivation and development of Saraddha and vishwasa as the essential elements for the success of Gayatri Sadhana. The activities associated with the rituals of upasana would be sheer mechanical acts if devoid of saraddha and vishwasa. Without the inner support of these two, the observance of the desired disciplines too would only remain like daydreaming. The sublime linkage between the guru and the disciple is sustained and strengthened by the saraddha and vishwasa of the latter. This is what enables the progress and accomplishment of the sadhana. As the initial practices with bows and arrows gradually helps a warrior develop into an intrepid archer, the initial sentiments of saraddna and vishwasa on the guru also grow and endow the disciple's heart with immense devotion to divinity and thy love.

                In some scriptures, there is a mention of a a curse of Maharshi Vashishtha and Vishwamitra on the (sadhana of) Gayatri Mantra and it is said that only those who remove this constraint could proceed with Gayatri Sadhana. This rhetoric description signifies the secret that Gayatri Sadhana should be endeavored with due disciplines under the protection and adept guidance of an experienced, spiritually elevated guru. The word Vashishtha means outstanding sagacity, pious excellence. Those accomplishing the sadhana of 125 lacs of Gayatri Mantra Japa were bestowed with the title of Vashishtha in the Vedic Age.  Liberation from the curse of the great vedic rishi Vashishtha implies that the diksha of Gayatri Mantra should be taken from a guru who is endowed with the qualities and experience of the level of Vasistha. Vishwamitra means the mitra (friend) of the vishwa (whole world). The aforesaid rhetoric scriptural saying further implies that the noble guru for the diksha of Gayatri Mantra should be an altruist, duty-bound saintly sadhaka who loves all and cares for global welfare.

                       Diksha blessed by such a siddha guru who possesses the virtues of being Vashishtha and Vishwamitra, alone can activate the Gayatri shakti in the mantra. Gayatri Sadhana endeavored as per his teachings would be perfect and beatified. Shraddha and vishwasa and devout practices of mantra japa too would not be complete unless initiated by such a noble guru of Gayatri Vidya. Having the beatitude of a siddha guru of Gayatri Vidya is like a propulsion that almost flies the disciple half the path of dedicated sadhana in the beginning itself. This is what is reflected in the poetic phrase of emancipation from the curse. There should be no doubt or misinterpretation of the scriptural mention after the aforesaid decipheration. It is indeed a perennial truth that no power in the cosmos could curse or restrain the Omnipotent, Absolute, Adi Shakti Gayatri.

                Gayatri Sadhana initiated by the diksha through noble guru proceeds with extraordinary spiritual support. In the twentieth century, Vedmurti Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya is revered as most authentic, pre-eminent, siddha guru for the diksha of Gayatri Mantra. His life was absolutely devoted to Gayatri Sadhana. He had scrupulously accomplished the devout sadhana of twenty-four mahapurasharanas - a divine endeavor attempted on this earth for the first time since the Vedic Age of Vashishtha and Vishwamitra. The thinking, feelings and deeds of this noble spiritual master, saint and sagacious scholar were unified with the altruist sentiment of global welfare. His heart breathed to love all beings. This pioneer of the renaissance of the almost lost or forbidden Gayatri Vidya was indeed the Vashishtha and Vishwamitra of this era. Millions of sadhakas were enlightened and blessed by him in Gayatri Sadhana without any discrimination of sex, caste, cult or social status.

                    After voluntarily shedding the sheath of his physical body in 1990, this angelic devotee of Gayatri, is active with ever stronger and expanded spiritual force in his subtle and astral body. Devoted disciples and seekers of absolute knowledge of Gayatri constantly experience and receive his subliminal guidance, protection and guidance. Likewise the millions of sadhakas across the globe, who were blessed by his sublime power after 1990, all aspirants of Gayatri Vidya may receive the mantra-diksha from his divine presence in the diksha-samskaras organized by the enlightened representatives of the Gayatri Pariwar. And commence the Upasana- Sadhana of the Gayatri Mantra with inner faith.

Therapeutic Benefits of Yagya= Pujya Gurudev

Yagya-IV

Therapeutic Benefits of Yagya

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

Amidst the fascinating achievements of the modern era of science and technology
in improving our comfort levels, stress and pollution have posed the major
challenge for man. The world is beginning to realize that the comforts provided to
us by modern science and technology do not necessarily always make life easier.
In fact, apart from greater stress and tension, more unknown diseases, untold
anxiety and fear is caused by the highly polluted environment and ecological
imbalance. This has raised alarming call for rethinking and guiding the common
life style. Yagya appears to be a boon of the ancient Indian sciences for achieving
this purpose.

In a physical laboratory, it might not be possible to demonstrate the spiritual
effects of Yagya, but the physical and mental effects of Yagyas can be certainly
tested, and the claims to cure physical and mental diseases through Yagya can be
verified. The Brahmavarchas Shodha Sansthan (a scientific research centre in
Hardwar, India) has taken up research on this aspect of Yagya.
It is to be noted here that the traditional systems of treatment of physical diseases
employ medicines which are mostly administered orally. They, therefore,
produce effects only after they have been digested and absorbed into the system.
Most part of the medicine taken orally neither is nor utilized by the digestive
system. Such medicines may also upset digestion seriously. The same is more or
less true medicines directly injected into the blood. They produce results quicker,
but their adverse side effects are often more pronounced. White corpuscles of the
blood resent intrusion of any foreign bodies into the blood, and sometimes the
reaction of the system to the sudden, massive and direct intrusion of foreign
matter into the blood through injection proves most serious, and even fatal. In a
Yagya, medicines and herbs are vaporized by offering them into the sacrificial
fire, and they enter the human body in a gaseous form through the nose, lungs
and the pores of the skin. This might be proved to be easiest, least taxing, least
risky and most effective method of administering a medicine so as to reach every
single cell of the body.

The possibilities of curing mental diseases by Yagya are even more alluring.
Diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders is still in its infancy in the modern
systems of treatment. There are neither well established diagnostic aids, nor any
recognized system of treatment of diseases like Neurosis, Psychosis,
Schizophrenia, Depression, Tension, Melancholia, Mania, Hysteria etc. On the
other hand, psychosomatic diseases are even more rampant than physical
diseases and they wreck the man more than the latter.

Manifestation of psychosomatic diseases except in extreme and advanced cases is
not so apparent, and that may explain why enough attention has not been paid to
them. The stress and strain of modern life, degradation of social behavior and fall
in moral values all around are contributing to an alarming increase in
psychosomatic diseases. Yagya might offer a solution to this serious problem as
well.

The technique of Yagya for the treatment of physical and mental diseases does
not comprise mere vaporization of the constituents or herbs to be employed, but
various Samidhas are offered into the sacrificial fire of Yagya to create the
desired effects. Research on all these aspects of Yagya is being conducted in the
laboratory of Brahmvarchas. It might well lead to the development of a
scientifically established in yagnopathy, which may find not only an honored but
a leading place in other therapies of the world like Allopathy, Homeopathy,
Chromopathy, Naturopathy, etc. Looking to the high intellectual caliber and
attainments of those who are engaged in research, Yagnopathy may come into
being sooner than expected, and it may rank a unique achievement of the modern
age.

Purification of Environment by Yagya= Pujya Gurudev

Yagya-III

Purification of Environment by Yagya

= Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

                  The industrial wastes, rapid urbanization, deforestation, air and water pollution, disturbances in the ozone layer -formation, radioactive waves etc., have destabilized the human, animal and plant life cycles. The ecological imbalance caused by these acts of ‘civilized men’ has resulted into disastrous threat not only to human survival but to the life as a whole on our planet.

             Till recently it was accepted that research into science can furnish answer to all of man’s problems. Today we find increasing number of diseases includingmalfunctioning of body organs due to increasing severity of pollution in the atmosphere. Ozone layer depletion has been causing ailments like sunburn, skincancer, cataracts and weakening of the immune system. Viruses are becomingdrug-resistant and showing consistent growth trends.

                Experimental studies show that the incidence of physical ailments, sickness and disease are reduced in the houses, where the Yagya (Agnihotra) is regularly performed because it creates a pure, nutritional and medicinal atmosphere. It renews the brain cells, revitalizes the skin, purifies blood and prevents growth of pathogenic,organisms.

              Agnihotra is basically a healing process. ‘Heal the atmosphere and the healedatmosphere will heal you’- is the Modus Operandi.
Purification of environment through the constituent electrons of the substances
fumigated in the Yagya is an obvious effect of this process. The observation
of some distinguished scientists is note worthy in this regard.

              Dr. Hafkine has mentioned that - “mixing ghee and sugar and burning themcreates smoke which kills the germs of certain diseases and secretion takes placefrom some glands relate to the wind-pipe, which fill our heart and mind withpleasure.

               Sugars present in Havishya have great power to purify the atmosphere. It killsthe germs of T.B., measles, smallpox and cow-pox, remarks Prof. Tilward.
According to Dr. Shirowich, a Russian scientist has remarked that (i) Cow’s milkcontains great power of protection from atomic radiation; (ii) Houses havingcow-dung covered floors enjoy complete protection from atomic radiation; (iii) Ifcow’s ghee is put into Yagya fire, its fumes lessen the effect of atomic radiation toa great extent.

                The medicinal fumes emanating from Agnihotra have been observed by researchers in the field of microbiology to be clearly bacteriolethal in nature.
These eradicate bacteria and other micro-organisms, which are the root cause of illness and diseases. This must be the reason why the incidence of physical
ailments, sickness and diseases becomes less in the households, where
Agnihotra is regularly performed.

             Even without going into detailed chemical bacteriology, it can be stated that performance of Yagya leads to purification of air.

Scientific Aspects of Yagya= Pujya Gurudev

Yagya-II

Scientific Aspects of Yagya

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

There are two basic energy systems in the physical world: Heat and Sound. In performing Yagya, these two energies, namely, the heat from Yagya’s fire and the sound of the Gayatri and other Mantras, are combined to achieve the desired physical, psychological and spiritual benefits.

The fumigation of specific substances in the Yagya --- fire is a scientific method of subtulisation of matter into energy and expanding its potential and positive effects in the surrounding atmosphere. The electromagnetic waves generated thereby help in transmitting, at cosmic level, the desired sonic signals ‘stored’ in the Mantras, which are chanted during the process of sacrificing the special materials in the fire.

Types of Yagya

Apart from fire-based scientific experiment (or fire-ritual, as popularly known), other principal types of yagyas signified in the vedic culture are :
The Seva Yagna --- altruist service of the society is a noble example of Yagya.

The Gyan Yagya, similarly implies the service of people by enlightening their lives in the glow of knowledge and education.
The Prana Yagya implies --- the service of saving the lives of people from suffering and agonies and inspiring liveliness and respect for life in them. A variety of such Yagyas are described in the Shastras.

Benefits of Yagya

Yagya is also glorified as “Yajóoaya® Sarvak³mdhuk” meaning, “Yagya is the source of fulfilling all desires”. This appears to be true in view of the positive effects, at physical, mental and spiritual levels, of performing Yagya and ideal elevation of life by adopting the universal philosophy of Yagya in action.

“Agni Mºde Purohitam” The first revelation of Rig Veda of is said to have given knowledge of kindling fire to
the first man on the earth. The knowledge of other powers of Nature is said to have descended afterwards. Fire and thermal energy are also the key sources of materialistic development. “Fire worship” is prevalent in one form or the other in almost every religion or cult. In Hindu religion and Indian culture, the sacrificial fire of Yagya is of auspicious importance.

Origin of Yagya- I, = Pujya Gurudev

Know About Yagya 

Origin of Yagya- I

= Pt . Shri Ram Sharma Acharya

The four Vedas signify the philosophy of the eternity and absolute complementary role of Gayatri and Yagya in the divine creation. Atharvaveda also deals with sound therapy aspects of Mantras for the treatment of the ailing human system at the physical, psycological and spiritual levels. The Samaveda focuses on the musical chanting patterns of the Mantras and the subtle form of Yagya by defining the latter as the process of mental oblation on the surface of internal emotions through the cosmic radiation of the omnipresent subtle energy of sound. The Yajurveda contains the knowledge of principles and methods of performing Yagyas as Spiritual and Scientific experiments for global welfare.

The teachings of yagya

Why do we regard the sacrificial fire of Yagya as purohit (priest)? It inspires us to imbibe its five idealistic qualities in our life.

1. Fire has the characteristic of always being hot and bright. We are inspired to lead bright, radiant, active lives like fire, full of wisdom and brilliance.
2. The flame of fire always goes upwards. One may apply any amount of pressure but its flame never goes downwards. It teaches us that despite immense pressures of fear and temptations our flame of wisdom, and foresight should ever be kept-alight and up-turned.
3. Anything coming in contact with fire becomes fire itself. We should also have such a quality of excellence in our character, so that any one coming in our contact may become refined.
4. Fire accumulates nothing. Whatever is offered in the fire is vaporized. It is scattered throughout in the atmosphere and becomes universal. We should also not accumulate possessions for our selfish ends but utilize all our resources and qualities for advancing the good of the people. We should be generous and lovingly kind.
5. The residue of fire are ashes. Ultimately physical forms of all human beings are going to be reduced to a handful of ashes. The idea behind applying (ashes of Yagya) on the forehead is that man should always remember the inevitability of death and utilize each and every moment of his life in the best possible manner.

These five teachings are known as panchagnividya which the priest (purohit) in the form of fire teaches to every human being. A man is truly blessed if he imbibes these teachings in his daily life by performing symbolic worship in the form of Yagya.
The real purpose of Yagya is to imbibe virtues like self-sacrifice, self-restraint (sanyam), charity, beneficence, generosity, compassion etc. in our daily life. It inspires us to surrender everything, body, mind, ego and soul to God. A Sadhak on surrendering himself to God, who has been described as Yagya-purush in the scriptures, becomes one with Yagya, just as samidhas on being consumed in the sacrificial fire of Yagya become fire itself. In fact the real Yagya is to follow the directions and inspirations of our indwelling divinity and imbibe righteous tendencies. Constant remembrance of the Divine, keeping an attitude of detachment and remaining engrossed in regular sacred studies and devotion amounts to leading a Yagyiya life. Such a person sees the presence of God in everyone, everywhere and becomes free of evil deeds and sins.
