Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hi Im really happy to be apart of this prayer group. I always feel light and happy afterwards. I was wondering if anyone else felt that way too? I thought that eventually someday we can extend the prayer group to twice a week. It would really benefit the universe and also help change it. Swami once said in a discourse that we all have the power to heal those who are sick as well as the Avatar himself if we have united prayer. In India there is always constant prayer and puja going on throughout the region. I'm in the USA and I wish we could do that here. It would be great if we could unite "wordly" twice a week. Any thoughts? I was curious also as to who is doing their prayers at 7 am eastern time U.S.? Just wanted to know.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 It is ideal to do prayers in the Brahma Muhurta time before 6 AM. All this Universal Prayer service is voluntary participation and it is for Universal Peace and Harmony. Universe is Baba ( the creator in human form) and his creation. The beauty is that these chosen prayers give Individual benefit and the benefit to the Universe at the same time. 7 AM was chosen to adapt a little to the physical needs of various age groups and seems reasonable and practical. I feel that the response to this calling is so Universal among all the readers that belong to this Satsang group, that we are all hoping and feel that it is nice to set aside 20 minutes for this pious cause every day!!! Actually, 20 minutes per day in prayer is ideal and the collective group prayer energy will be limitless.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hi, I am almost always saying my prayers at 7:00 a.m. EST. I live in the Dayton,Ohio area and am looking for ways to unite with Sai devotees because I don'e know any others in my town. Thank you for asking and for the suggestion of twice a week. I think that's wonderful.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Exactly this awareness we want to create and with this conciousness it is like tremendous power which is unfathomable, and imagine the vibrations which will be carried all over the world. Yes I too had the same positive feelings as I am in Toronto(eastern time). Great we can think more about this- Let us hear more from our Brother's and Sister's- Sai Ram SoumendraAngelicpassage (AT) aol (DOT) com wrote: HiIm really happy to be apart of this prayer group. .....

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Sai Ram. I live in Detroit, Michigan USA & am 78 yrs old. I am sorry I am unable to keep up to the Eastern standard time of 7-00 A.m. for this group Prayer. I am able to start my Prayer only around 8-00 to 8-15 a.m. or so with a feeling that some one living in the Central or Mountain Zone will then be also praying. So I hope this doesn't matter much so long as I keep my Group Prayer with sincerity & devotion.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Sairam sister Kendra, I live in India and would like correct the impression on prayers, hardly any one does constant puja or prayer through out the day, some individuals set aside a time for their daily puja / prayers and spend their rest of the time in daily mundane activities of life. There are others rationalists and atheists who do not pray at all. A few of those, who have taken to spiritual path, try to do silent namasmarana while performing routine activities. All this is individual sadhana. Participation in group prayers multiplies the vibrations generated and has better result. Our SPG group's attempts are in that direction to generate HIS grace for those suffering. Weekly prayer at 7 AM (local time) on Sunday was chosen for making it convenient for members to participate. This way vibrations will be continuously generated on a Sunday when different groups in different countries participate in this SPG activity. At individual level there is no harm in saying these prayers everyday at convenient time. Ultimately aim of all prayers is to realise the GOD who is resident with in oneself.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Sai Ram Balakrishnajee , It doesn't matter at all- as long you are doing the prayers for the mankind and your heart reach out for them. Your devotion certainly inspires us a lot. May Swami Bless you profusely and May you have infinite Ananda and Bliss. You can pray at your convenience ,somewhere your thoughtwaves will certainly coincide with other devotees who are praying from other counties which fall under different time zone. This collective prayer conciousness that is important imagine same prayer is done collectively throughout the world and thoughtwaves will be connecting- inexpressible- May Swami Bless you with health and happpiness.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Sai Ram Madhu , I completely agree with you ,our concept was to do prayer collectively so that we can spread the vibrations to all (suffering or non suffering).Now participating in this prayer for twenty minutes everyday is it possible ?well everything is possible if there is a will, but problem is each person has his or her own individual sadhana,own method of worship which give them immense satisfaction and bringing them collectivley to do this prayer everyday- I have my doubts- As you all know that people working different shifts (we are talking throughout the world),different work schedules ,bearing all this mind we thought we will pray collectively once a week on Sundays (7.00 am)- our whole idea was to pray in unison with all devotess all over the world on that day making everyone to participate nothing else as prayer request were pouring from every corner.( that also we cannot exceed more than 20 to 25 minutes of prayer) We formed this prayer group by His grace only and when we are chanting Gayatri mantra or Sai Gayatri then also we are praying for His grace only and then how can we say that we are not praying for His grace? Yes we are praying for His grace and with His grace we are spreading divine energy,healing energy to all- even Swami's Darshan has the same concept after receiving His Darshan He told us no to misuse but to spread it as this will express in their perfect time like good works yu do,service to the needy-Phylllis Crystal the famous author aslo taught this kind of meditation where she states - "When we look at Swami's photo for ten minutes ,try to feel that you are getting divine loving energy from Swami and then try to visaulize that you are spreading that loving divine energy to all who are suffreing , those afflicted with pain,cities in turmoil- and then she went on that we have to spread that energy which we received from Him otherwise it will remain dormant useless. Finally we all want to pray twice a week which is very good but please remember this is a commitment we have to carry on collectively.
