Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Sai ram Brother's and Sister's , We have completed Sunday prayer service(July 10th) by His grace. Now while I was going through the prayer list which is so lovingly compiled by our Sister Melody(mammoth list)- I noticed that at the end when we do ten minutes meditation at that time I scroll through the names,(prayer request) but it goes beyond ten minutes also there might be names who want to be in the prayer service as it was rightly pointed by Ssiter Melody.So while praying it takes long(more than 10 minutes) Now any feedback about this as the list is growing rapidly and then some devotees requested to pray for countries and their leaders-- The concept is that we should stick to the time frame and must be done collectively with same prayers so brother's and Sister's feedback or suggestions is greatly appreciated as this is done collectively all over the world.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Sai Ram, Dear Soumendra and all my brothers and sisters ... I find .. that as the list grows ... that for me personally .. I mentally and verbally OFFER to God the names by saying "dear Lord .. I offer these prayers and mantras and meditations on behalf of all those who have asked for prayers and help to the Sai Baba prayer group" ... Mentally and quietly I read ALL of the names and problems and requests to myself before doing any of my prayers so then I just place the list on the altar as the mantras and prayers and meditations that I do are being offered up on thier behalf. And I leave the list there when I do any other sadhana ... With the list there .. I am of the firm belief that God reads infinately quicker and more thorough than I do! I find that this way ... whether the names are 1 or 1000 ... the time for doing the prayers and meditations does not change really. I hope that this helps ..

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Dear Brother Soumendra, Sairam. Yes I have noticed reading all the names on the list, sort of sankalpam, takes time, so what I feel is that we start the sankalpam at say 6:45 AM and start our group prayers with Omkaram at 7:00 AM. If the list becomes longer one can start the sankalpam earlier as required. The main prayer i.e.. Omkaram to 10 minutes meditation must take place from 7:00 AM to 7:20 AM to be effective.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 As days go forward, this list is going to be a really lengthy one where prayers for individual names will not be possible in the prescribed time. Sister Melody is doing a wonderful job and Swami's grace will be on her as well as on all of us. Perhaps all the names can be included in a list called Sai Prayer Group List and we can pray Swami for the SPG list in stead of individual names and also for Universal Peace.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Sai Ram I am from a different time zone and sometimes there is a lag on the computer .. I will TRY to send the list 48 hours in advance but people send requests in up to the last minute .. so I always try to update the list for them .. What ever list you have or you recieve .. just pray with that... all is Swami's Will and all prayers will be heard eventually .. Swami has it all under control I assure you .... We will restart the list after Gurupoornima and then usually at the end of each month after that .... Please keep all names though for the Gurupoornima festivities ... If you have any other needs or questions .. I will do my humble best to assist ..

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 I do agree on what sister Meena has mentioned abt the growing list of names for the Group Prayer. As this Prayer is solely dedicated to the Global Peace and well being, it's clearly understood that whoever requests for prayer will be automatically counted in as part of the Universal Prayer. This is a good suggestion and I hope many would follow. I have been printing out the list and placing it at Baba's feet in my altar for the last 3 prayer sessions. Just be4 ending the 10mins of meditation, I pray with complete surrender to Bhagavan to fulfill the prayer requests of the names mentioned in the list and also to fill the whole Universe with His Divine Love,Peace,Devotion,Truth and Non-Violence. Having said this, I imagine the whole Universe glowing in the Divine Light. I place more importance to meditation as I feel that the Divine rays and light received from prayer and meditation, should be really going out to every soul in need and the whole world. It is of utmost importance that every being is touched by the Universal Prayer! Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu.
