IMO the idea our ancestors had is that, if you want to think or if you want to kindle your thought process before action then you have to concentrate. To concentrate you have to set your mind to no distraction. Repeating anything for a set amount of time would lead to concentration. And therefore the mantras were/are asked to be repeated.
This is where I got the 10 second 8 second thingy or the 80-20 percent. that is, in a whole of 10 second, a normal human being can train to concentrate at best to 8 seconds. And that is why the Gayatri mantra when said would (IMO) finish in 8 seconds a two second gap and then a 8 second repeat again.
Not only this before gayatri mantra, those who do sandhyavandana regulate their breathing for a set number of times. And before that they do the achamanam to have their mouth wet as in salivated.Private Reply to Ganesh Ram (new win) |
