The Gayatri Mantra has made me a Happier Person

My father is a very spiritual person and he has immense faith in God and the powers that exist beyond the scope of science. He prefers to live in a natural environment and live in harmony with nature instead of being against it. He chants the Gayatri mantra religiously. I live with my family and kids in another city. Once when he visited me he saw my daily routine and noticed that I was living a very stressful busy life.

Since I was pressed for time I was not giving quality time to my family. His observation was that I was getting irritated with trivial matters and passing on all my frustrations onto my family. He bought a cassette of the Gayatri mantra in which there is a continuous chanting of this mantra. At his suggestion I started listening to the mantra tape daily.

I would start the cassette early in the morning and leave it on while I did my chores. The chant had such a soothing effect on me that, where before I would be doing my job monotonously, now I was happy as I went about my day.

I have formed the habit of listening to these chants every day. Now trivial stresses in life don't have the same effect on me. Previously where I would get irritated and annoyed with the smallest of problems, now I tend to remain calm and try to find the best solution for the problem.

Before I started listening to the gayatri mantra chant tape I would forget small things. Now my memory has improved a lot. I have memorized the chant and have made it a habit to mentally keep on chanting the mantra all the time when I am working. I do so when I am doing my house work or when I go for my daily walk. It gives me solace and peace and removes the negativity from me.

I have found a very profound effect of this mantra and my behavior with my family has changed a lot. I feel more positive towards everything and do not get bothered about trivial matters. Try it for yourself. It may help you too.
