GAYATRI ANUSTHAN - Inexhaustible Source of Spiritual Energy
The scriptures prescribe that Gayatri should be worshipped thrice
daily during Trikal Sandhaya in the morning, at noon and in the
evening. It is all the more beneficial if Jap, worship, meditation and
contemplation of Gayatri is done even more intensively. But for specific
purposes, when more energy is required to be generated, specific
performance which is known as Anusthan is done. When long
journey is proposed to be undertaken, special food and adequate
money are kept for being used in transit. Anusthan, similarly is like
journey expenses. When this energy capital is accumulated, Sadhak’s
journey through life, whether in mundane or spiritual pursuit, becomes
easier and smoother.
When a tiger pounces upon a deer or a cat attacks a mouse or a
heron attacks a fish, they pause for a moment, stop breathing, move
back a little, and sharpen all their inner faculties and then charge suddenly
on their prey. In Anusthan,
same thing has to be done on spiritual level. If any calamity has to be
averted or some success achieved it is done by performance of
Anusthan.
Anushtan is an emergency call
of Sadhak which has specific force and magnetism in it. The Sadhak,
thereby, attracts within him, the extraordinary energy of Gayatri.
Extra-ordinary relief is obtained by Gayatri Anusthan in worldly difficulties,
mental disturbance and internal restlessness. No doubt,
Gayatri does not literally give the Sadhak a golden treasure. But it is
also true that by its influence fundamental positive changes take place
in human attitude and mentality which make it possible to find appropriate
solutions to difficulties. Appropriate intelligence, wisdom and
far-sightedness are intuitively revealed to the Sadhak to enable him to
surmount the special difficulties and challenges faced by him. Some
irrelevant way ward thoughts, desires and cravings overpower a person
having a confused mind on account of which he remains unhappy
for no reason. Gayatri Sadhana cleanses the mind in such a way that
things which formerly appeared to be crucially important appear to be
insubstantial and trivial. Such internal changes take place by Anushtan
on account of which an unhappy, worried and harassed person suddenly
finds himself uplifted into a state of peace, harmony and joy.
Jap of 1,25,000 Mantras is known as Anusthan. There are certain
conditions for a thing to attain maturity. A baby
takes its due time in mother’s womb before birth. Premature action in
all such matters results in complications and failure. In Anusthan, performance
of Jap of 1,25,000 Mantras in the prescribed period culminates
in desired fulfilment.
Anusthan can be started in any month. Panchmi, Ekadshi,
Poornmasi are considered auspicious days to begin. The attributes
of Durga, Saraswati and Lakshyami are prominent on Panchami,
Ekadashi and Pooranmasi respectively. There is no bar of Shukla
or Krishna paksha, although Shukla-paksha is considered more
auspicious.
During Anusthan, Gayatri should be invoked before starting and

Nav-Durga falls in Shukla paksha from Pratipada to Navmi in
Ashwin and Chaitra. This is the time best suited for Gayatri Sadhana.
Jap of twenty-four thousand Mantras should be performed and fast
should be observed during these days. This mini Sadhana is as useful
as a big Anusthan.
