Physics has now proven that everything in the world is energy or vibration. Today we will explore about Hidden Benefits and Power of Gayatri Mantra Chant. Our body is pure energy too, and all our cells in the body are also vibrating at a certain frequency.
When resonating in balance, we experience a state of peace, relaxation, and health. However, when we vibrate at the wrong frequency, the energy gets stuck, and we suffer from diseases and pain. Our ancient seekers and seers knew this world of vibration far before modern science discovered it. They had developed an exact science of transcendental vibration to release the mind of all the anxieties of material life, and that is called “mantra.”
Power of Gayatri Mantra Chant
Of the many mantras, the Gayatri mantra holds the most importance. The Gayatri mantra is mentioned in the Rigveda and is also known as the Savitri mantra in honor of its preceding deity, Savitri, which is the sun. It is made in the most sacred Vedic meter or Chanda known as the Gayatri meter.
Several studies have shown that the recitation of the Gayatri mantra increased the synchronicity of cardiovascular rhythm, as well as an increase in the baroreflex sensitivity. These findings suggest that the recitation of a mantra at specific frequencies induces favorable psychological and physiological effects.

In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, it is mentioned that when you recite any mantra, you should know the meaning of the mantra, and you should bring all that feeling and purity within you and then say the mantra. Here is the right way to chant the mantra for your reference.
Now, let’s understand the meaning word by word:
Om: The primal sound.
Bhur: Who is the physical body or the physical realm.
Bhuvah: Is the life force or the mental realm.
Swaha: Is the source of the spiritual realm.
Tat: That God.
Savitur: The sun, the creator, the source of all life.
Varenyam: Means adore, illuminate, or inspire.
So, the complete meaning would be that we meditate upon that most adored Supreme Lord, the creator, whose divine light illuminates all, our physical, mental, and spiritual realms. May this divine light illuminate our intellect.
In simpler terms, it means that all good thoughts may come to me from all sides and make my intellect illuminate.
All words carry energy, and a mantra even more. But a mantra has to be chanted with a proper vow and proper understanding. We chant a mantra to settle our mind and feel the union between ourselves and the divine. This experience is possible only with your intention, complete faith, and devotion. No matter which mantra you chant, always bring the correct devotion and bow and chant the mantra.
It is believed that chanting the Gayatri mantra brings in that “de shakti,” the power of intellect. Controlled studies have shown that chanting Vedic hymns can improve concentration in teenage school students.
The sound of specific mantra chanting synchronizes the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Chanting also helps in the oxygenation of the brain, reduces our heart rate and blood pressure, and assists in creating calm brainwave activities.
Mantras are used during meditation to clear your mind and bring focus to the present moment. Mantra chanting helps release stuck energy and return our body to the natural state of resonance, thus bringing about healing.
By chanting the Gayatri mantra at the beginning or end of your yoga practice, you will feel its essence and derive its mystical benefits. Namaskar!
