Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Amma, Once again, thank you all for sending in names for prayers. 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. The names for this week's Prayer Group are: Amma (for Her welfare and the safety and good health of Her body) Aikya (for continued strength & energy to do all she is doing) Olu Phillips-Alonge amarnath & samarpana Vidinyu Ambani Amritavarshini Amritavarshini's Pacific Northwest Sister Kingsford and Duke and Kevin Ameyaw Ananthasree (to realize her dream of moving to the West Coast) Anupama & her grandfather, Web (recently deceased during hurricane Katrina) Amber Arends Elan & his mother, Tusti/Ananda (for shelter & support, and for Amma's Grace) Jim Ashley Joan & Joe Avallone Bala Krisnan & Madhubala Blanca B.

For the thousands of people who died in the devastating earthquake in Pakistan, India and Afghanistan… For those who lost their homes and hopes in the tsunami…And in the Hurricane in the United States… For the people who died in the stampede in Iraq… For those who drowned in the floods in Mumbai and South America… For the people who are dying in wars and terrorist attacks… for their peace of mind and also for their near and dear ones who will have to continue living immersed in the painful memories of the departed souls…" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Swami Dayamrita & all of Amma's devotees who have been called to action to help alleviate the suffering of the victims of hurricane Katrina For All Members of the Ammachi Digest For all life affected by Tropical Storm, Stan Dogs, cats & other animals made homeless by the hurricanes For Southern Mexico (for relief of suffering) For Amma's North American children (for their highest good & to see Amma in November) For Rita Adair and the Allied Neighborhood For All Pioneer House Clients For all who are suffering That we may all remember who we really are For all the leaders in the world at all levels that their hearts be opened to God's Love, Compassion & Guidance For the world ~ that we may remember who we are For all those killed, injured or in any way affected by the terrorist attacks in New Dehli, India For terrorists, that they will discover who they are and seek peaceful resolution to conflicts For the starving people, especially the children, in Nigeria For the "dark cloud" time in 2005 still seen by Amma ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
