This Week's Prayer Digest

[Guest guest]

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

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

 

* to say or add the Gayatri Mantra for Bhumi (Amma calls her Bhu Devi),

our Mother

Earth:

Om Vasundharaya vidmahe

Bhutadhatraya dhimahi

Tanno Bhumih prachodayat

 

*to say or add the Bija Mantra for Bhumi:

Om hrim shrim klim Vasundharayai svaha

 

 

Please remember, you can use one or more of these suggested prayers or

whatever other prayer you wish

 

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
