Namah Shivaya,

 

It was a great joy to share the teachings and

meditations of the Guru Gita with you. In the spirit

of gathering and praying together as a group I would

like to continue this with an offering of prayers,

poetry and invocations to the Divine from many of the

great saints, mystical poets, religions and spiritual

traditions of the world. This would be an offering to

Ammachi, an honoring of all of our many paths to the

Divine, and an opportunity on our part, to help bring

Peace, Healing and Light to our world.

 

This conscious offering and prayer to the Divine is

inspired by a collection of prayers that I have

gathered for a class that I taught on meditation,

spiritual practices and traditions for many years.

There are three books that I will use in particular,

which are edited by Elizabeth Roberts and Elias

Amidon. The wealth and variety in these volumes could

fill one’s heart for years.

 

My feeling is to offer at least one prayer a week,

maybe more as the spirit moves me. Please let me know

if this is not something that would be appropriate for

our list. I also encourage others to share their

favorite prayers, mystical poetry, and invocations to

the Divine.

 

As I try to choose one prayer for today, I find that

at least two prayers need to be shared!! The first

sounds as if it is coming from Amma Herself, and

mirrors the song “Everyone in the World” that we have

been singing during Amma’s tour.

 

Father/Mother God, Holy Spirit

 

Help us to stay connected to our hearts and each

other.

Help us to see the good in ourselves and each other.

Help us to serve the spirit of goodness in all we

meet.

Help us, especially, to recognize our connection to

those who think themselves our enemies.

Help us to find value in our connection to those whom

we might think our enemies.

Help us to restore love upon this Earth.

May all be fed.

May all be healed.

May all be loved.

a Thousand Years, Roberts and Amidon, Harper San

Sing to Life a new song!

Sing to Life, all Creation!

Sing of compassion and temper your deeds with

kindness.

Sing to all the world and tell of the miracles that

sustain us daily.

Yet Wonder is greater than praise,

no words can capture its Essence.

All words are idols, all ideas snares---

Truth is beyond opinion,

Reality lies beyond thought’s horizon.

Splendor and majesty leave us speechless.

Strength and beauty are touched not talked.

Let your worship be acts of beauty and holiness;

Let all the world stand together in awe.

Declare among the nations: “All is God!

Maintain the world with Justice!”

The heavens rejoice and the earth is glad;

The seas roar their praise.

The fields exult; the forests sing.

For all the world is rooted in righteousness.
