*The greateness of Omkaram is highlighted again by the following saying.*
*जपेन दहते पापं प्राणायामैस्तथा मलं ध्यानेन जन्मनिर्यातं धारणाभिश्च
मुच्यते॥ *
*japena dahate paapam praanaayamaistathaa malam dhyaanena janmaniryaatam
dhaarnaabhischa muchyate... *
*"The Omkara burns off our sins when we chant it, physical and mental
impurity is removed through praanaayama with omkaram, the sins accumulated
through births are burnt of through meditation on omkarama and by going
through the eight steps of ashtangayoga with pranavam, one reaches
emancipation from worldy existence for ever.. *"
*ॐ इत्येकाक्षरं ब्रह्म व्याहरन् मामनुस्मरन् यः प्रयाति त्यजन् देहं स याति
परमां गतिं॥ ...गीतायां *
*OM ityekaaksharam brahma vyaaharana maamanusmaran yaH prayaati tyajan
deham sa yaati paramaam gatim.. in Gita*
*"Uttening the one supreme work OM which is brhama itself and concentrating
his mind on Me, if a person leaves his body in the end, he reaches the
supreme state of immortality....." Declared the Blessed Lord Krishna in
Bagavat gita.*
*The importance of Upasana of Gayatri is underlined in the following
discussion.*
*यद्यपि परमेश्वरः सर्वत्र अभिन्नरूपतया वर्त्तमानः तथापि गायत्र्युपासकस्य
विशिष्टफफलप्रदः नान्यथा। अयं दृष्टान्तः याज्ञवल्क्यने कथितः*
*गवां सर्पिः शरीरस्तं न करोत्यङ्गपोषणं गायत्रीं जपतो नित्यं पुष्णात्यङ्गं
सदाशिवः।*
*एवं सहि शरीरस्थः सर्पिवत् परमेश्वरः विना चोपासनादेव न करोति हितं नृणां॥।*
*Even though Lord Shiva is present as Vishvamoorthy manifesting himself
everywhere, He identified in particular the worshipper of Gayatri and
bestows on him all the grace. Yajnavalkya has given the following
example:-*
*"The butter or ghee present in the milk is inherent in the body of the
cow.. But in that state the nutrient does nothing special to nourish the
body of the cow. But when the cow is milched, and the ghee is extracted and
partaken, it nourishes human body (or even the body of the cow itself).
Similarly Lord Sadaashiva even though present every where does not do
anything particular for the benefit of the people unless they perform
devout Upasana through Gayatri. For Gayatri Upasakaas Bhagavaan Shambu is
the greatest nourisher.*"
