GAYATRI MANTRA

Aum Bhurbhuvah Svah | Tatsaviturvarenyam Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi |
Dhiyo yo nah Pracodayat

Om is the Primal sound , God . It denotes the specific attributes of God , the creation , sustenance and dissolution of inviduals as well as the universe. The primal word Pranav is OM . It is the only name of God which came first of all in existence as primal name in the form of sound or word . this Vedic knowledge is well recognized by others also . The bible reveals “ In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God ; He was in the beginning with God ;all things were made through Him; and without him was not anything made “[The Gospel according to John 123]’

Scientists declare that the universe began with a big bang (a loud humm)

The universe began with sound , the first appearance of the cosmos and that sound was ‘OM’ the ‘Pranav’, the word was God himself – the infinite absolute and all pervading .
Bhuh Bhuvah and Swah :- these three are the divine mystical utterances of God ‘Taittariyo Upanishad ‘gives the explanation of these utterances . Bhu Bhuvah and Svah as Bhu is this planet earth ,Bhuvah is space and Svah is heaven ;Bhuh is fire, bhuvah is air and Svah is sun ; Bhuh is Rig Veda, bhuvah is Yajurveda and Svah is Sama Veda ; Bhuh is Prana (the air which we inhale – Oxygen), bhuvah is ‘Apana(the air which we exhale out – carbon-di-oxide) and Svah is ‘Vyana’ (air which exists inside and takes part in chemical actions and reactions in the body;These are not the end of the meaning of ‘Bhurbhuvahsvah’; Bhuh is known as Sat (being consist of energy with quality of attraction ), bhuvah ‘Chitta (Awareness or consciousness) and Svah is Ananda (Bliss) ;
Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has revealed that Bhuh is ‘Materialization’, Bhuvah is ‘Vibration ‘ and Svah is ‘Radiation’which combines all the explanation as given above .
Materialization(Bhuh) takes place from Energy as Scientist have proposed that energy is converted into matter . The conversion of energy into matter is Bhuh . Bhuvah , the ‘Vibration’ is the empty space an immense background of ultra higher energy on top of which matter quantizes wave like excitations The movement quality of matter and energy is ‘Bhuvah’.The quality of radiation in different forms ; the pervading quality of Divine principle is Svah . The heaven full of energy ,awareness and bliss is Svah from where materialization ,vibration and radiation takes place .

Tat- that
Savituh - (Savita Dev God of enlightment)
Varenyam – Accompany with him , choosing him as a companion or friend
Bhargo – Blemishless , Pure and Pious
Devasya – to(belongs)
Dhi – Meditate to install inside
Mahi - Within me ,Mine
Dhiyo - Intellect
Yo(Yah) – he
Nah – our
Pracodayat – to promp , to instigate

“ Meaning Of Gayatri Mahamantra”

with chanting the primal pranav sound name of God ,who is Sat Chtta and Ananda , the cause of creation sustenance and dissolution , I remebber the glory of divine mystical utterance of His will , which is existing in various ways of materialization , vibration and radiation of this universe . I meditate and sustain within me the blameless , pure and pious savita Deva who is the God of enlightenment as my most beloved companion and I pray him to remove our darkness of ignorance , enlighten us and instigate our intellect and lead us towards good thoughts good words and good deeds .

I have a fundamental question.

How did the scientists' justify that the Universe began with a big bang or a loud 'hummmmm'? See, the big bang would have occured in space and space has no air or rather its technically "empty". Sound requires a medium to travel, "expose" and be heard. So how did it "expose" and who heard it?.

There is a fundamental error in that theory..!

Thanks for d comment
Yes ,we cannot have sounds in space, that is true today, but it was not so in the Universe's infancy. For perhaps its first million years, the Universe was small and dense enough that sound waves could indeed travel through it - so efficiently, in fact, that they moved at about half the speed of light.

It is just a theory based on hypothesis . Yes I do agree that it may be contradicted but
Most astronomers believe that the universe was initially significantly smaller than even a pore on our skin. With the big bang, the fabric of space itself began expanding like the surface of an inflating balloon – matter simply rode along the stretching space like dust on the balloon's surface. The big bang is not like an explosion of matter in otherwise empty space; rather, space itself began with the big bang and carried matter with it as it expanded. Physicists think that even time began with the big bang. Today, just about every scientist believes in the big bang model
In a fraction of a second, the Universe grew from smaller than a single atom to bigger than a galaxy. And it kept on growing at a fantastic rate. It is still expanding today.

who is satya sai the one who proclaims himself to be the master of this universe. is he that the GOD who is charged with sex scandals. Does he deserve to be quoted in explaining GAYATRI MANTRA?
Gayatri Matra can be better explained in terms of Indian philosophy not with the quoting a person who lives in big palaces holds number of Mercedes Benz clouds himself in several whitish so called political leaders who have been the true destroyers of the Nation as well as the society in general. Many of his fake disciples argue that he has so many hospitals for the poor and the down-trodden and is justified by many as the doer of such so called 'Noble deeds' but is ignored with the glaring fact of inquiry of the source his underhand money that he makes white in such hospitals.
Better to cite Indian scholars in explaining not these self proclaimed Godman.

To Trojanvirus

I am surprised on the level of ignorance and stupidity of the person called "trojanvirus".

Before I begin bashing you up which you rightly deserve, I would like to direct your attention to two points:

1- Its a normal courtesy to introduce oneself if one is making such inflammatory allegations without any basis.

2- One should have a minimum "eligibility", "status" and "knowledge" to even talk about some person or event.

Now to bash you up:

1- Your ignorance about Sathya Sai Baba is so profound and speaks of the ineligibility of yours to even talk about him. Since when did fools attempt to reason? For your information Sathya Sai NEVER proclaimed himself as "master of universe". That phrase is the result of the tremendous experiences devotees had with Him. He need not be blamed without a reason and hence you have got to eat your words Mr/Ms. Trojanvirus.

2- He is God or not is again a question. How can you state it so openly? What do you know about God to even judge someone as God or not? And if you have to judge someone as God, you have to be higher and better than God which technically is impossible. So who are you to install or rubbish someone's "godhood" ? Regarding sex scandals, what is the source of your information about them? Rumours? Are you a sane and scientific man that you go along with rumours? You appear equally a fanatic like the "devotees". So do you even deserve a response? Yet I am doing it for I need to put you in your place.

3- Regarding sex scandals against Sathya Sai, the Allya Rahm's case is the only case filed against him and yet Baba won it last year. It was proved in the Supreme Court of California that Allya Rahm was trying to find an excuse for his character failings by stamping the entire thing on Baba. These are the facts and hence you must have a knowledge of it.

4- One needs no eligibility for Gayatri Mantra. If unscientific and un-factual fools like you and psedo-priests can interpret, why not Baba who has done amazing service to a section of mankind? I think He has all the right to talk than you who sits infront of a computer and sings the song of slangs.

5- How can Gayatri Mantra be "better explained" by Indian Philosophy my friend? Before that what exactly you mean by "Indian Philosophy"? Where is the end and where is its beginning? Are you concenterated only on "Hinduism?" Then why did you use the word "indian?" And lastly because you so confidently state that you can "better explain", why dont give us a demonstration of what you mean?

6- Why can't Sai Baba live in big palaces and drive in Mercedes cars? Discounting his God status, He still is an Indian citizen and has the funadamental "Right to Freedom". No one can stop him from doing whatever he does as long as its not contradictory to law of the land. If you can own as many vehicles you want, why can't He? Why can't He aspire for a good life? And till now NO FACTUAL EVIDENCE is there to prove that he is looting people for his personal gain. If you have, why are you silent? Why don't you expose Him and do a service to humanity? And if you don't shut up, for you can be charged under a defamation case and if you wonder who is gonna do it - its ME!

7- Why can't political leaders come to Sai Baba? And from your statement, it appears you have grudge against political leaders. Then why do you vote them to power? And how many political leaders are destroying the nation and what do you exactly mean by "destruction?" And what are you doing to "construct" for the nation? Spreading hatred against someone who is doing something at least? Is this construction? You do not deserve to open your mouth for you do nothing beyond your little self other than heap abuses.

8- Now how dare you say someone as "fake disciple"? You are challenging someone's fundamental right to religion young man (assuming you are young. Be careful, you can land yourself in a case. Now when you say "fake", what do you mean? The disciples are not truthful to Sai Baba or the disciples are not truthful to themselves?

9- Baba does not have "so many" hospitals for poor. He has 2 general and 2 super-speciality hospitals only. Come with facts or if you are unawre of them, be inquisitive, not offensive! How can you define a "noble deed" if you disqualify's Baba's work? Is taking care and spending money for the poor an "evil deed?" You should check your morals before you point a finger at somenone, and yes, are you anti-poor? Then you need a serious look at your psychie. And no disciple justifies, Baba's work is such that it hardly goes missing!

10- And now comes the final blow to you. How DARE you say that the money is "underhand"? This shows how limited you are in your information. Therefore I spoke of eligibility to comment. The money is given by donation and its voluntary. And the balance sheet is there at the Trust office for anyone to see. And the balance sheet is regularly (I do not know the number) given for auditing.

Mr/Ms Trojanvirus..you dare not speak against anyone without facts, or else I warn you the time is not far when you find yourself behind bars.

Have a good day and do give a serious thinking on Baba and if its too much on yourself !

@trojanvrus
Thanks for reading my blog
.I only know one thing...
"d tree which bears d sweetest fruits gets d maximum number of stones thrown at it"
First of all merely the charge of allegation does not prove a person convict . U must have proper proof for it . Regarding the alleged allegation “In an official letter released to the general public, in December 2001, A.B. Vajpayee (then Prime Minister of India), P.N. Bhagawati (Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India), Ranganath Mishra (Chair Person, National Human Rights Commissioner of India and Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India), Najma Heptulla (President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union; UNDP Distinguished Human Development Ambassador) and Shivraj V. Patil (Member of Parliament, India; Formerly of the Lok Sabha & Union Minister) all signed a letter that called the allegations against Sathya Sai Baba "wild, reckless and concocted allegations made by certain vested interests" and that they "unequivocally condemned" the allegations as "baseless and malicious".
Secondly Secret Swami BBC documentary was very misleading and was based on only two westerners who had their own monetary agendas. Western journalists were bashing Baba collectively. Infact Alaya Rahm self-dismissed his own lawsuit against the Satya Sai Baba Society. This self-dismissal proves that the numerous claims to witnesses and corroborated information were untrue all along...
http://www.saisathyasai.com/Rahm-Public-Court-Records/

Thirdly controversies always follows great people take the example of Ram , Krishna , Lord Jesus who was even crucified for the fake charges .Even when Shirdi Sai Baba was alive there was a lot of controversies .

Well just tell me how many Mercedes Benz does Sai Baba have and did any one ever approached you demanding money for Sai Baba or any one forced you to have faith in Him? Have you ever visited dat place ? My suggestion to you is that go and first visit dat place at least once. You will get d answer of all ur questions . I m not forcing you to believe dat he is god incarnate . You are a free citizen of India and have ur say in all the matters .
But let others also enjoy their freedom . Whomsoever I quote in my posting is my personal choice and you have no right to restrain me from doing so .Let me tell you that no one has become a devotee of Swami by watching TV channels or advertisements . All have their personal experiences irrespective of the fact wat the media says . And the devotees of Sai Baba are not fools they have mind ,brain, and scientific attitude and can easily distinguish what is wrong and what is right
and yes next time if you wish to post comment on my blog please disclose your identity

All the Best

Dear I have always been so pained by so called blind folded groundless yet justifying himself as the the most judicious and partial judge of things as well as fooled by so called Babas or red robed people robbing the minds as well as reason of the people like you.
I too am amazed to glance the darkness of ignorance overshadowing the people like you and am a bit in despondency to look at the fanatic, hard and frozen approach of the disciples of So called Self proclaimed God(See his book Golden age where he claimed himself as God and the book of Hislop where He said that Krishna is age less and I am Krishna or like so and I think that this reference will be sufficiently attempt to take you to the light of knowledge, though I shudder that it will be a futile attempt of mine ).
Before I begin my observation of the reasonless, groundless, logic less, irrelevant, foolish and mentally insolvent infiltrator, or a nincompoop who has wasted his so much energy and time in justifying the ways of man to god, I would also bring you to your right place, i.e. your own blog where you will be brought to your ‘minimum right place’, knowledge and status’ where a chatterbox like you remarks foolishly:
One should have a minimum "eligibility", "status" and "knowledge" to even talk about some person or event
Here I would like to know your minimum eligibility status and knowledge who claims himself talk about some person(here you also appear to acknowledge Sai Baba as person not as god which you and ordinary persons claim to understand the ways of god or man)
I suppose it discourtesy on a man’s part to meddle with conversation of others, which a pertinent person like you have done by jumping into this healthy conversation which is ailed by a mentally retarded and manic man like you. I think it is a proper time to you now to get back to your right place i.e. your blog.
I , here, want to bet you, if I show you that satya sai baba has proclaimed himself as the master of the universe or as god in human form, what will you do??????
1.Will you consider yourself to be a great fool talking with baseless arguments………………………………??????????????????
2. Will you stop your nonsense and get back to your right place?

o dear you said to me that a person like me is sitting before computer and singing a song of slang; but your photograph is showing that it is you who is sitting in front of computer and humming the monotonous melody which is best portrayed in your own image.

My oh-so-pained trojanvirus, I asked you approxmately 40 or more questions, yet you answered nothing. Is it that you lack answers? I even asked you for a "demonstration", that too goes un-responded. Well you know who should talk !

Anyways I shall answer your questions..

How can you say that Baba robbed my mind and reason? Is it because I support Him? and I did not join your camp? How can you be so biased and judgemental? It beats me of your logic or rather "illogic"!

I admit I am ignorant for I am still a pilgrim in the highway of God, but then everyone is or else complete knowledge means Godhood and Self-realization. And morever "knowledge" is not equal to "information". And hence information, when got must be accurate and from authentic sources.

The book "Golden Age" is not by Sai Baba, but by Amla Chaudhri. So get your facts right. And you believe anything written by anyone? Is this scientific? As long as people speak against Baba, they are "factual" and not subjected to verification, yet anything pro-Baba, is not "authentic"; what is this logic? Did you question Amla Chaudhri? If not, then stop talking.

So is the case with Hislop's book. You have to really verify facts.

If you want to read up books written by Sai Baba, read up the Vahini series and I challenge you by stating that He never stated anywhere that He is God! Its people's statement based on their experiences or assumptions based on their readings on Him like you did.

You fool, you do not know where and on whom you have put your hand on, by asking me my eligibility, status and knowledge on Baba to comment. Well since you have asked, let me answer.

My eligibility - I stayed with Him for 7 lovely years of my life from the age of 16 to 23, interacted with Him and got personal guidance from Him in many situations of my life.

My status - I study in one of the elite institutes of the nation and am doing research. Hence the ability of mine to look at facts and to separate opinions from reality goes unchallenged.

My knowledge - It comes not from books unlike yours, but from experience and scientific knowledge is recieved only by experience and questionings. I never read a book on Baba. I dont beleive in them. I just lived with Him and went through the beautiful experience and I know what He is. God? That word is so limited. Baba is beyond that. It will need lifetimes of research to know Him.

I never justified his "man-ways" as "God's ways", did I? Common do not put words in my mouth. By the way I am asking what are "God's ways?" Will you define that please? Then we can judge Sai Baba's or any man's action and compare the gap.

Now look who's talking of "courtesy". You freely defame someone who does not have access to defend himself, and you talk of courtesy? Stop the nonsense. And you were not talking "healthy" and you were not even "invited". Like you just popped in, I too popped in and in the cyberworld, everyone just pops in. The point is you had made up your mind to abuse and not question, while I question. Anyways I am reminding you once more you have not answered any questions of mine till now. And yeah I am not a mentally retarded man, I am supposed to be among the top 1% of the intellectuals of the country.

And regarding your bet, I counter challenge you - He never proclaimed anything about He being God anytime and anywhere. Go, do your homework and come and do question the writtings of these "devotees". If you talk about Baba, take His writtings alone for reference. Thats scientific methodology.

And yeah I know my place ! You need not take the trouble to show me my place. Have a good day.

Today i saw some trojanvirus has attacked as some trojan virus of irrelevence. But suggestion to such virus is, before we apply any anti virus software of Norton or Mccafe, be off from here. It is easy to contradict than to argue. I think you both have given proper reply.
Well let go...
I have some posted some new articles and reviews on my blog. Kindly visit

every time sai baba says this or that.....is totally a hopeless one

saurabh said...

sathya sai baba only says love all......truth....dharma.....shanti...........my ears are fed up with these hopeless preachings again and again..........repetition of the same thoughts............idealism and nothing else.....fabrication a false drama

Surya said...

Hello Sourabh,

I do not think Sri Sathya Sai's teachings on Sathya, Dharma, Shanti and Prema are "hopeless". Rather these are signposts to "hope" provided the protagonists put them to practice. And to be more factual they are the "ONLY" ways to be good and to be at peace. Hence He speaks about them "ONLY". You see He does not waste His words.

"Repetition" is necessary for history is the witness that a singular stimulus is never enough to break our inertia to change. By the way a "repetition" of sensual stimulants freely available in movies and T.V. is never looked down upon. But a repetition here is always frowned upon. Any reasons for this biased view?

What is wrong to preach and practice idealism? Well idealism must be always the goal. The lack of it shall propel us DOWN and subsequently UP. And idealism is not a "false drama". It is the truth we avoid to look for various diversions. By the way which drama is "true"?

And finally...what is your frustration against Sri Sai Baba? Is your statement a reflection of personal enmity or is it outcome of a vain gossiping habit?

Get help !
