A prayer for the unfortunate ones

[Guest guest]

Sri:

SrimathE Ramanujaya Namah:

 

Dear Sri Sampath,

 

The very quality of Srivaishnavan is to say "aiyO!" when one sees someone

suffering. We need to empathise with the sufferers. I agree with you.

 

Let us all pray to Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan for the innocent victims of

the drama. As appealed by Sri Samapth, let us all recite Sri Vishnu

sahasranamam at after saayam sandhyavandhanam today at our respective homes.

 

Regards

 

Narayana Narayana

A prayer for the unfortunate ones

Tue, 28 Dec 1999 11:37:23 -0800 (PST)

 

Dear friends,

 

Please forgive adiyen for a very unusual and perhaps

out-of-place personal request.

 

Adiyen too has been following the ordeal that our

unfortunate fellow-brethren trapped in the hijacked

Indian Airlines plane in Afghanistan have been going

through for the past 4 days.

 

May I please request all of you (who are so inclined)

to please recite the "Vishnu-SahasranAmam" for their

benefit and pray to the Almighty to please deliver

them from the living hell they are presently in?

adiyen strongly believes in the efficacy of the

SahasranAmam in such situations.

 

adiyen thanks one and all!

 

Regards,

Sampathkumaran

Dear Bhagavatas

I fully agree with Sri Sampathkumar that we should pray for the safety of the

unfortunate victims. In this connection, I have one suggestion to make.

Sri Anjaneya is known for saving those on the brink of death.

1. He saved Lakshmana by bringing the Sanjeevi mountain, when he lay

motionless on the verge of death.

2. He saved Sri Sita Piratti when she was so dejected as to contemplate

committing suicide.

3. He saved Bharatalwar, when he was about to enter the fire ordeal in

PrayOpavesa.

 

I have personally experienced several instances of the miracle of saving by

Sri Anjaneya. There is a particular Slokam which is found very simple but

very effective in such circumstances.

 

It reads as follows:

"asAdhya sAdhaka swAmin, asAdhyam thava kim vadha /

rAma dhootha kripA sindhO: math kAryam sAdhaya prabhO://

 

Let each one of us resolve to recite this Sloka as many time as possible

(1008 / 108 / 28 / 10) to the best of our ability and circumstances and pray

to him to rush the much needed succor to these victims.

 

Hopefully, if we do this with sincerity, he will respond immediately.

 

Let us also resolve to offer our thanks to Sri Hanuman on the Hanumath

Jayanthi day that falls on 6th January 2000 in whichever way we find it

possible individually.

Within an hour after receiving the above message and

just a few minutes ago adiyen learnt that the ordeal

in Afghanishtan is over and after 7days of being kept

hostage and blindfolded inside an aircraft, the poor

passengers will be let off soon in the next few

hours!!

 

Like thousands of others all over the world, perhaps,

the list members too decided to pray for the release

by reciting the Vishnu=sahasranAmam or select shlOkas

from the Sundara-kAndam or shlOkas invoking

Anjaneya... those prayers seem to have been answered!

dAsan,

Dear Bhagavatas

It is a happy announcement that the hostages are being freed.

The moment we think of Sri Hanuman, miracles do happen.

Let us recite the slokam given earlier as many times as possible on 6th

January 2000 by way of offering thanks to Anjaneya.

There is nothing miraculous in the release of the hostages, especially since

the Indian Govt. has released 3 dreaded terrorists in exchange of hostages.

Moreover, the 6 hijackers, who murdered an innocent Indian man have got away

scot free. These dreaded 9 terrorists will kill how many more innocents, the

Lord only knows. The Lord only knows if there is a repeat of Malik Kafur's

sack of Sri Rangam pending in future.

 

In my humble opinion, we should not trouble our Lord by praying to him for

everything. We should rather try to prevent such situations from recurring in

future. In this particular case, we will do well to make ourselves aware of

the haunting sceptre of implacable Islamic terrorism over the globe.

 

By thoughts might be resented by numerous Bhagvatas, but as I see, Sri

Krishna has asked us to 'Mamanusmar yuddjyacha' i.e. remember me and FIGHT.

Dear Bhagavatas

 

I am amazed at the negative interpretation of VAgarwalV.

 

Just imagine the possibility of all the hostages being done to death at the

casual trigger of the gun or a deliberate massacre by thoughtless fanatics.

For what we know from the reports of the hostages arriving at IGI Airport,

this was quite almost a certainty feared by one and all. In the

circumstances, the release of the terrorists might have been a small price

paid for the release of 155 passengers.

 

Only if we pray for our own benefit does it become Kaamyaartham. When prayers

are offered for the sake of Loka kshemam (which includes the hostages), God

will not take it amiss.

 

If it were not the saving grace of Lord, what else can we expect than this

macabre eventuality?

 

How do we meet with God except in prayer? In the present instance, I believe

God has really answered the prayers and this requires no more proof.

 

Let us learn to think positively and offer our thanks to Sri Anjaneya on

Hanumat Jayanthi day (6th January 2000)

Sir,

 

The English poet once wrote, "More things are wrought

by prayer than this world dreams of."

 

And, Sir, please don't bother about putting our Lord

to any great "trouble"! Adiyen feels the Lord's

"trouble" is not too much prayer from worldly

quarters! It is too little!
