This Summer, Explore the Power of the Gayatri Mantra!

Hari OM!

You must surely have heard the phrases “It’s all in the mind” and “mind over matter”, but perhaps they have been nothing more than a clever choice of words to make some point in a conversation. In fact, this idea of the power of the mind is the secret to success in life! It is said in the Bhagawad Geeta that “For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his very mind will be the greatest enemy.” Proof of this is seen in plenty, whether in secular examples such as super achievers in sports or industry, or in the spiritual realm with contemporary Realized Masters such as our own Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda, Bhagawan Ramana Maharshi and others.

So how do we conquer the mind? The mind’s nature is to wander, like an untamed horse. To conquer it is to focus it single-pointedly on the goal. So you need a way to focus it. And you need practice - repetition. Enter the mantra, and specifically the Gayatri Mantra.

This mantra is special and most powerful because it was not composed by a human but rather revealed to humanity in the Veda, and the vibrations it induces in the mind are harmonious with the vibrations that is the Universe. So, not only does it focus your mind, it also tunes it to the Universe.

We have a rare opportunity to get initiated into this great mantra by none other than Mukhya Swami Swaroopananda ji, the head of Chinmaya Mission worldwide. In person, not by YouTube or Zoom, but in his physical presence! And you don’t need to know Sanskrit or have studied scriptures etc. - this secret is hidden in plain sight for all of us, no matter our age or stage in life, and Pujya Swamiji will teach us how to use it to transform our life. Don’t miss this great opportunity, we hope to see you at Chinmaya Mission Boston in Andover on Aug 14 – 17 at 6:30 pm.
