Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 As the war progresses in the Middle East, how important it is for all of us to offer even small prayers for peace. Here's one simple prayer ritual.... 1.Take two incense sticks and light them and hold them in your left hand. 2. As you hold the incense sticks in your left hand, place the middle finger and thumb of your right hand together. At the place where your thumb and finger come together, using your eyes, draw an imaginary OM at that juncture and say "OM" three times. 3.Then keeping your middle finger and thumb of your right hand joined, use this mudra to draw an OM symbol on the lighted points of each of the incense sticks, saying OM three times as you draw each OM on each lighted stick. 4. Take the two lighted incense sticks and raise them to the third eye area on your forehead, making a prayer honoring Swamiji. 5. After you have honored Swamiji, make a prayer to honor all of the Gods and devatas of light throughout all time and space. 6. Once you've done that, make another prayer that the sweet smell of the incense will flow into the hearts of all beings throughout all time and lokas and bring them peace. 7. Place the incense outside in a safe place so that the smoke can flow freely to the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
