Thought of the Day:Faith in the divine plan turns uncertainty into a sacred adventure.
From the moment you wake up in the morning until you sleep at night, you toil like a machine, but there's no contentment in your mind, is there? Even though a handsome salary comes in and there's money in the account, when you put your head on the pillow at night, restful sleep just won't come. So many people don't even know what ailment they have, yet their mind is always heavy.
The cause of all this is today's lifestyle we've made for ourselves and overthinking. In search of a solution for this problem, we wander here and there and spend thousands of rupees. But our sages, thousands of years ago, discovered and left us the remedy for all this in a single line; we just don't know its value.
Many people think that reciting the Gayatri Mantra is a pastime for after retirement. But shall I tell you the truth? It is the most powerful tool needed by today's youth and working people. It is like a sound therapy; every letter in it has its own scientific significance.
Whenever we pronounce “Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah,” our tongue touches certain important points on the upper part of the mouth. The vibration produced when it touches thus reaches directly to the nervous system of our brain. This awakens our brain and makes the hormones flow smoothly.

In today's times, getting BP and sugar at a young age has become common; if you go to the doctor, they say ‘reduce your stress a little’. With the boss's nagging at office, traffic jams, and the tension of paying off a loan, tell me, how is one to reduce stress? The one sure remedy for all this is the chanting of the Gayatri Mantra.

If you close your eyes for just 15 minutes a day, take deep breaths and recite this mantra, the unnecessary clutter in your brain gets cleared. The mind becomes so light that, whatever difficulty comes, the courage to face it arises on its own. When the mind is calm, half our illnesses vanish right there.
Today's children are intelligent, but the big worry parents have is that their attention won't stay in one place. They pass their time on the mobile, reels and games; when they sit to study, they get up and run off after five minutes. To increase their concentration, don't feed them almonds — just teach them this mantra.
The Gayatri Mantra is also called the ‘intellect-enhancer,’ because it directly stimulates the center of our memory. Have them recite this mantra for five minutes every day before going to school, and their confidence level will double. Whatever they read will start getting recorded in their head, and exam fear will run away too.
There's no need for you to believe just because I said so — test it yourself. Take up a challenge starting today itself: for the next 21 days, bathe in the morning or evening and recite the Gayatri Mantra 108 times. The first day may feel difficult and your mind may wander, but don't give up.
Before a week passes, you'll notice the changes in yourself. Your anger will decrease, your interest in work will increase, and most importantly, you'll sleep peacefully at night. When you get all this for free, why ruin your life with tension for nothing? Start today itself!
