One Percent For Peace- to Shubal and Nirmalananda, Chris, and all friends

[Guest guest]

Namaste

 

In my past, I was a part of the groups meditating together for world

peace. I lived in Fairfield Iowa for 19 years to be part of the group

there. TM reported many positive results over the last 20 years due

to these group sankalpas. Right now, in Fairfield Iowa and Washington

D.C, the TM Movement of Maharishi has a large number of TMers

meditating and performing advanced siddhis in order to help bring

peace to this world. They plan their lives around taking time twice a

day to meditate in large groups. Their sankalpa involves only

practicioners of TM.

 

There is room in this world for all folks who wish to have peace in

this world. I pray God hears their prayers. This world needs all the

help She can get.

 

I am so happy our sankalpa is reaching so many wonderful souls around

the world, of different faiths and creeds. What a blessing to be able

to communicate to the entire world thru this medium. We all want to do

everything we can to maximize the power and effectiveness of this

sankalpa.

To that end, I humbly offer several techniques I use daily.

I agree with you all that stating the intention and praying /

meditating on the intention is very valuable.

Some other possibilities:

1. when I perform daily Shiva and Durga puja, and take the sankalpa as

part of it, I always add the statement regarding the group peace

sankalpa, to remind Shiva and Durga, that we all sre offering it as

well as my puja to Them. I ask They accept and magnify the effects of

the mantra for this entire universe and the 3 worlds.

2. when I begin the mantra itself, I ask Maa to accept our group

recitation, and magnify it for the entire creation and the 3 worlds.

I ask to link up with Her, and all Good-ness in creation, in order to

keep my ego out of the way, and let Her and all the Gods take over.

 

Swami has told me several times that the power of imagination is very

great. So, I to visualize the Earth, filled with love and peace and

harmony, and see the waves of bliss and light circle around the world.

 

When we really focus on these abstractions, they begin to come true.

And the more we lead simple, truthful lives, being servants of

circumstance, as it says in the Gita, the power of these

visualizations increases and Mother Earth heals.

 

We are in a great and powerful time of change in this world, and most

importantly, we are trying to act in accord with Maa and Swami's

desire: to bring peace to the 3 worlds. With Maa and Swami leading

the way, truth will triumph.

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami
