Bhagavad Gita – Chapter 8 – Akshara Brahma Yoga  Shri Bhagawan Uvaca: Verse 13-14 OM is created based on shanti. Between two OM (pronunciation) represents the brahman. One should meditate on the silence (maun) between the two OMs. OM pronunciation activates your prana shakti. All chakras below Heart chakra are related to Srishti. Manipur is related with Sansarik Identity. What do I want in this world? When you do not achieve something due to some impediments in the environment, then your relationship with Srishti gets disturbed. Below Manipura Chakra – Swadhistan chakra, which will affect your mind that affects your confidence (example). This is also related to Srishti again. Suppose someone ditches you, your relationship goes bad. Mooldhara chakra (Base) – related to survival instincts. All fears are affected by this. Heart chakra is affected by unconditional bhava – it will affect the lower chakra positively. The fear and identity do not affect anymore. When we are entangled in three chakras below heart, we start ignoring Heart chakra. When we chant OM – the prana shakti starts moving-up. The vibrations due to OM starts taking you beyond Heart – Three eyes. When you contemplate on OM then you also experience the gap between two OM (silence), which will take you to Brahman. Gayatri mantra can affect the physical and mental environment. Everything is embodied in OM – before Srishti and creator of Srishti. Verse 14-16 Whose parmatma is wealth. Now your budhi is focused on para – that is why you are Partha. Your awareness is constantly in that stage. Your awareness needs to be expanded. Vibrations are present in the Brahmand. The mantra invokes these vibrations. Once you reach Brahman you do not take re-birth. There are four maha-vakya and three stages of understanding, knowing and being.
