prefixed with the three mahavyahrtis. This is in a late supplementary
chapter of the Shukla Yajurveda samhita, listing the mantras used in the
preliminaries to the pravargya ceremony. However, none of the parallel
texts of the pravargya rite in other samhitas have the stanza at all. A
form of the mantra with all seven vyahrtis prefixed is found in the last
book of the Taittiriya Aranyaka, better known as the Mahanarayana
Upanishad.[33] It is as follows:
3. ओम् भूः ओम् भुवः ओम् सुवः ओम् महः ओम् जनः ओम् तपः ओम् स॒त्यम्।

6. *Gaayantham thraayathe ithi Gaayathree -* "Because it protects the one
who recites it, it is called Gayatri.”
2 Dr. Howard Steingull, an American Scientist has established [9]
that recitation of Gayatri Mantra produces a frequency of 110,000 Hz (> 20
kHz?). The patterns of chanting of Mantras are so designed that
they latently contain the essence of the music, life sustaining
energies emanating from the cosmic
energy centre of the corresponding Mantras. (The cosmic energy centre a
deity associated with the Gayatri Mantra is Sun). Uttering of Gayatri
Mantra produces vibrations which are soothing to human mind, all plant
and animal life.

Gayatri activates the above-mentioned twenty-four divine qualities in
the devotee. With their growth, varied accomplishments (Siddhis) and
prosperity start manifesting in the life of the devotees. Most of the
people think that some god or goddess is bestowing these gifts because they
are unable to see and understand the working of these subtle divine
energies and the transformations flowing therefrom. Once they understand
that transformations are taking place as a result of their own Sadhana they
would realise that it is not by way of some unexpected gift from somewhere
but is the result of a well-organized scientific process of spiritual
growth. Gayatri Sadhana is not based on blind faith but has a solid scientific
basis. { KR on the explanations of the 24 values explained about those 24

4 NCBI paper: Participants ON GAYATHRI MANTRA: SCIENCE
Sixty healthy school students (30 boys and 30 girls) in the age group of
12-14 years (mean age: 13 ± 0.83 years) were recruited for the study from
an English medium school in Nasik, Maharashtra. Approval of the school
authorities and consent of the parents were obtained before conducting the
study.
Design of the study
All the students were trained in GM and PL chanting for 5 days before the
starting of the study and were assessed using digit-letter substitution
task (DLST) (explained in the next paragraph) before and immediately after
GM and PL chanting. The students were divided randomly into two groups and
each group participated in both the GM and PL chanting. All the students
were assessed for both (1) GM chanting and (2) PL chanting. Four recordings
were made on consecutive days for each participant. This was a crossover
study design.
Assessment
DLST consisted of a worksheet, which has 8 rows and 12 columns and randomly
arranged digits in rows and columns. The students are asked to substitute
as many target digits as possible in the specified time of 90 s. The letter
substitution may be undertaken in a horizontal, vertical, or a randomized
manner by selecting a particular digit. The total number of substitutions
and wrong substitutions are scored. The net score was obtained by deducting
wrong substitutions from the total substitutions attempted.
Structure of sessions
In order to avoid any possible learning effect, the participants were
divided into two sessions randomly. They were asked to sit comfortably on
the floor cross legged with eyes closed. Fifty percent of participants were
asked to chant GM loudly for 10 min and remaining participants did PL
chanting on day 6. The order of the sessions was reversed on day 7.
Intervention
Gayatri mantra(GM)
The students were asked to chant GM about 10 min. During chanting, the eyes
were closed. The subjects followed the traditional procedure of chanting it
loudly for its best effect to invoke the innate power of effulgence and
intellect.
*Om bhūrbḥuvah svaḥ tatsaviturvareṇyam bhargodevasya dhīmahi Dhiyoh yonaḥ
pracodayāt* ǀǀ
Poem line chanting
In control session, the same subjects were seated in a relaxed posture with
open eyes. The duration of both the sessions was equal.
*ikkde tikkde cohi kade anandi ananda gade*. (PL)
Data extraction
The total number of substitutions attempted and the number of wrong
substitutions were counted. Then net score was obtained by deducting the
latter from the former. The answer sheets were coded and scoring was done
by the researcher who was not involved in the study. It was cross checked
by another researcher. Then entries were made in computer and checked.
Data analysis
The raw data obtained for each subject in each recording session were
tabulated separately. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS.
The group mean and standard deviation were calculated. Repeated measures
analysis of variance (RMANOVA) were performed with two “Within subjects”
factors, that is, Factor 1: Sessions: GM chanting and PL chanting and
Factor 2: States; “Pre” and “Post.” The RMANOVA was carried out for each
variable separately. Subsequently, *post hoc* tests with Bonferroni
adjustment were performed to compare the data of the “Post” periods with
those of the respective “Pre” period and also the different states were
compared between sessions.
RESULTS
There were significant differences in between sessions (GM vs. PL) in
(i) Total score *F* (1, 59) = 4.697, *P* = 0.034
(ii) Wrong score *F* (1, 59) = 0.26, *P* = 0.873
(iii) Net score *F* (1, 59) = 7.28, *P* < 0.001.
There were significant differences in between states (pre vs. post) in
(i) Total score *F* (1, 59) = 63.9, *P* < 0.001];
(ii) Wrong score *F* (1, 59) = 6.54, *P* = 0.013]
(iii) Net score *F* (1, 59) = 83.26, *P* < 0.001.
There was significant interaction between sessions and states in
(i) Total score *F* (1, 59) = 23.51, *P* < 0.001;
(ii) Wrong score *F* (1, 59) = 4.47, *P* = 0.034]
(iii) Net score *F* (1, 59) = 27.85, *P* < 0.001.
*Post hoc* test with Bonferroni adjustment showed a
significantly increase in (i) Total score (*P* < 0.001) and (iii) net score
(*P* = 0.001) immediately after both GM and PL compared with their
respective prescores. There was a significant increase in wrong score (*P* =
0.001) in GM alone. The group average values ± standard deviation are given
in Table 1 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3807963/table/T1/>.

Gender subgroup analysis
Male group showed significant increases in total PL (*P* < 0.01); GM (*P* <
0.001)], wrong PL (*P* < 0.05); GM (*P* < 0.001), and net PL (*P* < 0.01);
GM (*P* < 0.001) score in both the sessions, that is, PL and GM.
Female groups had significant improvement in the GM sessions alone in total
(*P* < 0.001), wrong (*P* < 0.05), and net (*P* < 0.001) score. Also, GM
sessions had significantly performed better in comparison to the PL session
in total and net scores. This indicates that GM had positive impact on
female.
DISCUSSION
There was a significant improvement in net score in both GM and PL
sessions. But further analysis showed that GM significantly performed
better than PL session in female. Previous two groups randomized
wait-listed control study showed improvements in DLST when GM recited using
two different methods, that is, Eka-swara and Dwi-swara which was aligned
with our present study.
The attention processes involve network of brain regions such as the
prefrontal and temporal (including the Para hippocampal gyrus) cortices, in
addition to the anterior cingulate gyrus. During a selective attention
task, decreased activation was found in several areas of the dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate in addition to parietal areas. A
feeling of resonating effect during audible “OM” chanting found significant
deactivation was seen bilaterally during “OM” chanting in comparison to the
resting brain state in bilateral orbitofrontal, anterior cingulate, Para
hippocampal gyri, thalami, and hippocampi. The right amygdala too
demonstrated significant deactivation. No significant activation was
observed during “OM” chanting. In contrast, neither activation nor
deactivation occurred in these brain regions during the comparative task –
Namely the “ssss” pronunciation condition. The prayer of the Namo Amida
Butsu (Nembutsu) activates the medial frontal gyrus, which is mainly
related to mental concentration and visuospatial attention, similar to the
areas activated by meditation. The task of reciting the sutra (Buddhist
scriptures) activates the left lateral middle frontal gyrus, the right
angular gyrus, and the right supramarginal gyrus, which are related to
visuospatial attention also involved in the area activated by meditation.
All these studies indicate that recitation of GM may play a role in
improving the attention potential.
The present study, although preliminary in nature, shows that
recitation of GM improves attention. The limitations of the study, however,
are: (1) Only the immediate effects of mantra chanting were studied and (2)
the participants belonged to a single religious group. The strengths of the
study as per our knowledge goes, this is the first study on self as control
trial on immediate effect of GM on task performance among school children
using simple paper pencil test, that is, DLST. Mantra recitation may be
implemented in school setting which can help to raise the academic ability
of the students along with their all round development. Future study may
include different age groups of students for a longer duration (more than 1
week), different levels of attention, assessment methods to check
physiological changes. This can be repeated irrespective of religions.
Negative observations by the board:
The editorial board appreciates the importance of studying validity of
traditional beliefs. Once such belief is the positive effect of *Gāyatrī
mantra* on concentration, hence it has decided to publish this paper,
“titled Comparison of effect of Gayatri Mantra and Poem Chanting on Digit
Letter Substitution Task”. We have observed certain methodological
inadequacies in the paper. We consider it to be important to alert
researchers on such important aspects in framing a study such as this.
Here, in this study the selection of the Poem “ikkde tikkde cohi kade
anandi ananda gade” could raise the following ambiguities (1) Whether there
was any reason to select this specific poem for comparison 2) whether the
authors have done any test to check whether the students understood the
meaning of the poem. 3) As the meaning of *Gāyatrī mantra* and the poem are
different, it is likely that it may have influenced the results.
The following may be the possibilities: The children were swayed by (1)
the name ‘Mantra’, as it has esoteric connotations and hence the results
skew in favour of *Gāyatrī mantra*. (2) the fact that the poem does not
have the same meaning as *Gāyatrī mantra* could have skewed the current
results in-spite of this being a crossover study.
It is also possible that the students did not understand the meaning
of *Gāyatrī mantra* at all, in this case, one group would have chanted
something they thought was esoteric (*Gāyatrī*) but something they did not
understand and another group were chanting something simple but something
that they understood (poem in their regional language). In this case too,
results could skew in favour of *Gāyatrī mantra*.
In case the children understood the meaning of *Gāyatrī Mantra* it
means that one group were chanting something esoteric which they understood
to be having a great meaning and the other group were chanting something
simple i.e. not having great meaning. This could also make results skew in
favour of *Gāyatrī mantra*.
Considering the above possibilities, it can be concluded that the design of
the experiment has created results that are ambiguous. -Editorial Board
