Prayer.......!!!

 

Prayer is an act of communication by humans with the sacred or holy—

God, the gods, the transcendent realm, or supernatural powers.

Prayer has been described in its sublimity as "an intimate

friendship, a frequent conversation held alone with the Beloved".

The most important part of any prayer, whether it be a prayer of

petition, of thanksgiving, of praise of Lord, or of confession, is

the introspection it provides, the moment that we spend looking

inside ourselves, seeing our role in the universe and our

relationship to God and emphasizes the One to whom prayer is

directed. For an observant Sai devotee, prayer is not simply

something that happens in temple once a week (or even four times a

day). Prayer is an integral part of everyday life. Observant

devotees are constantly reminded of Sai's presence and of our

relationship with God, because we are continually praying to Him.

Our first thought in the morning, even before we get out of bed, is

a prayer thanking Sai for returning our souls to us. Prayers are to

be recited before enjoying any material pleasure, such as eating or

wearing new clothes; before performing any acts; upon seeing

anything unusual; at the site of a great tragedy; whenever some good

or bad thing happens; and prayers to recite before going to bed at

night. All of these prayers are in addition to formal prayer

services, which are performed every weekday and at additional times

on festivals and holy days.

 

Many people today do not see the need for regular, formal prayer. "I

pray when I feel inspired to, when it is meaningful to me," they

say. This attitude overlooks two important things: the purpose of

prayer, and the need for practice.

 

One purpose of prayer is to increase awareness of God in one's life

and the role that God plays in one's life. If one will only pray

when one feels inspired (that is, when one is already aware of God),

then one will not increase their awareness of God.

 

In addition, if one wants to do something well, one has to practice

it continually, even when one doesn't feel like doing it. This is as

true of prayer as it is of playing a sport, playing a musical

instrument, or writing. The sense of humility and awe of God that is

essential to proper prayer does not come easily to modern man, and

will not simply come to one when one feels the need to pray. If one

waits until inspiration strikes, one will not have the skills needed

to pray effectively. Before one starts praying regularly, one finds

that when one wants to pray, one doesn't know how. One doesn't know

what to say, or how to say it, or how to establish the proper frame

of mind. If one prays regularly, one will learn how to express them

in prayer.

 

When one says the same prayers day after day, one might expect that

the prayers would become routine and would begin to lose meaning.

While this may be true for some people, this is not the intention of

prayer. The most important part of prayer is the introspection it

provides. Accordingly, the proper frame of mind is vital to prayer.

The mindset for prayer is referred to as "bhavah", which is

generally translated as "approach", "intent" or "devotion". The

minimum level of bhavah is an awareness that one is speaking to God

and an intention to fulfill the obligation to pray with devotion. If

one does not have this minimal level of bhavah, then one is not

praying; they are merely reading. In addition, it is preferred that

one have a mind free from other thoughts, that one know and

understand what one is praying about and that one think about the

meaning of the prayer. Satcharita details the prerequisites of

prayer as explained by Baba generally referred to as nine forms of

devotion.

 

As Shri N.Kasturi said somewhere in his book, (author

of "Sathyam,Sivam,Sundaram books) "Each of us has to live the

volume of biography, which we bring with us, as often as we are

born, page after page, Chapter after Chapter, howsoever punctuated

with dots and dashes, interrogations and exclamations, comas and

colons, until the sentence ends ultimately with a full stop. But

luckily we have Our Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, so let us try to

live Bhagwan's estimations

 

Baba Said....

 

"Those who are fortunate enough to get Baba's Udi should, after

bath, apply it on the forehead and take some little of it, mixed

with water in the mouth as holy tirath".

 

Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying `Om Sai Ram'

to whom so ever you meet.

 

OM SAI SRI SAI JAI JAI SAI!!! Let us pray at the lotus feet of

Bhagwan Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of

all, to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him

 

Swamy Mahadevan

Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all

Baba Bless you ever!!!
