OM SRI GURUPYO NAMAHA:,RESPECTFUL PRANAMS TO SRI KANCHI MAHA PERIVA.
JAPA is a training by which the ever- dancing rays of the mind are compelled to behave in some order and rhythm and thereby bring out a single melody of repeated mantra-chanting.
A short period of meditation can take a JAPA- PREPARED mind to unimaginable heights in an impossibly short time.Japa is a training for the mind in fixing itself to a single line of thinking.
Again Japa in a prayer- room performed in all intensity and training ( by repeating constantly & mentally GOD' S names ,)
during the wakeful hours ,,are the sure ways of developing devotion ( Bhakthi ).
The SUPREME reality is experienced through meditation only. This can be accomplished through JAPA. Again Japa is very effective mental discipline for spiritual progress.
Samartha Ramadas who perfected himself through the JAPA YOGA of the RAMA-MANTRA :" Sri Rama Jaya Rama Jaya Jaya Rama" We can do Japa Yoga with .one's
Ista-mantra.Some Vedantik mantras are " Tat Tvam Asi", " Aham Brahma Asmi", " SIVO'HAM Sivo'ham" ETC. A japist's attempt is always to maintain his mind in one fixed line of Divine thinking.
When one does the JAPA yoga by uttering the mantra " OM NAMO NARAYANA",he should surrender totally his personality to SRI NARAYANA who is his concept of the reality.
When once we understand the principle behind surrender, we shall discover the bridge that connects the pasture lands of BHAKTI and the snowy peaks of JNANA.
Mantras are given out by the SEERS( RSI- s) .They are ones who had realised the deep significances and the pregnant imports of the mantras.Every mantras has a presiding deity.
One of the most powerful mantras is the ' Pranava' mantra OM ! OM represents the SELF which is the supreme non- dual reality.
Gayatri mantra is one of the oldest available divine hymns..It is said this mantra was declared at first by GOD HIMSELF.IT IS NEVER CHANTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF MATERIAL GAINS.
Gayatri mantra is also called as " Savitri" mantra It is an invocation dedicated to LORD SUN crunched in the Vedic metre called GAYATRI.
The Gayatri metre is generally constituted of three lines of eight syllables each.This mantra is a prayer unto the SELF to unveil ITSELF and come to manifest as pure wisdom in our life.
The seer of this mantra is the royal Saint Visvamitra
In Bhagavat Gita the Lord says the light that pervades the Sun and the moon. Is all HIS light..Thus SAVITR!the Lord of Gayatri,is nothing other than the light of consciousness,the Infinite, the Absolute.
This mantra means " We meditate upon the auspicious godly light of the Lord Sun, may that heavenly light illumine our thought- flow in our intellect."
This Japa should be done by standing in the early dawn and by doing it one ends all sins committed during the night and by doing it in the evening at " sandhya" one ends all sins committed during the day.
The importance of chanting this Gayatri Mantra during the Sandhyavandam hardly needs emphasised .Maha Periva has advocated that the Gayatri Japa is to be performed daily and regularly by one and al
The Gayatri metre is generally constituted of three lines of eight syllables each.The three lines of Gayatri -Savitri mantra are as follows:-l.
"...............................
OM TAT-SAVITUR VARENYAM
BHARGO DEVASYA DHIMAHI
DHIYO YO NAH PRACOAYAT"
