This Week's Prayer Group

[Guest guest]

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Amma,

 

Thank everyone for sending in names for prayers. I have received many notes

from people saying the prayers are helping. Blessings to all of you for

participating in this seva.

 

Again, I believe it would be a good idea to outwardly (verbally) or

inwardly, whichever suits the individual person, state the intention that "I am

saying this prayer for these people," and then to outwardly or inwardly say

their names.

Then people can proceed with their prayer, whatever they wish it to be.

Some

of the suggestions are:

 

* to say the Aum Amriteswaryai Namah (a mala or as many or as few as is

comfortable)

 

* to say your own mantra given by Amma, or some other mantra you feel

especially drawn to

 

* to say the 108 Names of Amma

 

* to pray in any other way that suits you

 

* to say the Mahamrtumjaya Mantra (I suggest 21 times, but again, as many

or

as few as is comfortable.

Mantra: tryambakam yajamahe sugandhim pushtivarddhanam

urruvarukamiva bandhanan mrtyor mukshi ymamrtat

 

It has been suggested that people could use these names and continue to

pray

each day or any one or more days during the week, however, the official

PRAYER GROUP DAY will be SUNDAY.

 

I would like to suggest, and again this is only a suggestion that people

can

do or not do, that we end with:

 

Om Lokaah Samastaa Sukhinoh Bhavantu (May all Beings be Happy)

and

Shant Shanti Shanti
