All the rain water is collected as the oceans (a symbol of group evolution) and participates in forming the rain cloud that is purest form of water. All this gathering of water helps nourish the various seeds (the egos that are incarnating). But a seed can't evolve until it is planted at the appropriate depth with in the bosom of earth. Similarly the Ego (the seed in evolution) which are planted in the bodies physical, emotional, mental etc., need the rain of DIVINE WISDOM to evolve.
Chant Gayatri Mantra with Parama Pujya Gurudev
The impact of chanting (Jap) Gayatri Mantra lies in its unique configuration of the specific syllables – the seeds of Shabda. The cyclic enunciation (chanting) of this mantra stimulates the subliminal power centers of the being. When chanted to the tune of a great Saint or a Master, the impact is manifold. Pandit ShriRam Sharma Acharya has stated that chanting Gayatri Mantras twenty four times with him is equivalent to chanting 24,000 individually.
