Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Sai Ram On the subject of prayer GROUPS! ... I would like to offer the following suggestions ... Firstly ... We have more power in our prayers as a GROUP. But .. everyone is in different time zones ... I suggest it would be much more advantageous if we pick a DAY .. like Thursday ( Swami's Day ) for everyone to focus thier efforts on. Secondly ... If someone in this group would like to volunteer ... ( I'll be happy to do it if no one else wishes too ) Once a week .. post on this forum .. the consolidated list of names for those who need our urgent prayers .... Lets try to suggest to everyone that though they can happily write to all of us what is going on .. for the sake of the prayer group .. all we need is .. name, place, and maybe a short idea of thier needs. This way with a consolidated list each week .. everyone can print it out and offer the names in prayer on Thursdays. Those of us who have thier own altars and pray each day ... it would be wonderful if you could include these people daily or better yet .. those lucky ones who have a temple near them and who go .. can take the list and offer it to be prayed for at the temple or even just saying the names on the temple grounds during your prayers would be excellent. Thirdly .... Do we have ANYONE in this group who is in Puttaparthi regularly or who is living there but also particpating in this group ....???? IF so .. we could really use your services in this prayer group .. especially in taking a list to darshan and just offering the names to Swami as he gives darshan or something like that. Fourthly ... I suggest that we should do this like they would do it any temple for there is specific purpose in doing these mantras in a set order with Om's first, then Ganesha, ect because of the energy your invoking with them .... We should start with Om .. then Ganesha Mantra or Ganesha Gayatri ... Then Guru Sloka ... I have a special booklet I got in Puttaparthi of a prayer to Swami for protection and I will try to find it and post it ... Then of course we should include something to Devi and the Mrutanjaya Mantra .. then Om again and the Loka Samastah Prayer for peace. In any list we do .. we should include that other than the names .. we also offer these prayers up for World Peace so that everyone can be happy. If there are any volunteers who could help with this ... maybe we could decide on a content of our prayers .. then I would be happy to copy these individual prayers and put the whole thing togeather as ONE tape or CD with the words to them .... Then I can mail everyone a CD with the set mantras and in a set order so that we're ALL doing the same thing on thursdays .. this would give our prayers that much more power to them on the behalf of others and the world. Just some thoughts ... But I definately think that this is a wonderful idea and wonderful seva if we can all work togeather and pull togeather on this ...
