Abstract:
The holy Gayatri mantra is a prayer offered to the sun, the illuminator of the Universe, to stimulate and enlighten the mind. The changes, improvements and evolutions that have occurred from civilization to civilization, generation to generation are the proofs of developing skills of mankind. A person whose intellect, patience and memory is impaired, subjects himself to intellectual blasphemy (Pragnaparadha) by virtue of his bad action. This intellectual blasphemy aggravates all the dosha’s. The analysis of the Manas and intellect from different angles and their explanations are abundantly available in the Ayurvedic literature which provide evidence of the quantum of thoughts, clarity of vision as well as expertise of the ancient scholars.
