Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Can a prayer remove these obstacles and fulfill desires ? Purpose of Prayer is to reduce Egoism (Ahankar) and with it, all boons come automatic. Gandhi, Einstein, Buddha knew this art of prayer correctly. If you are one with the Universe, who is asking? and who is giving? ---- All is you !. The prayer Gandhiji recited (composed by Narasinh Mehta) is most appropriate for all Bhagwat Gita students: Vaishnav Jan to tene kahiye Jay peer paraaye janneyray Par dukkhey upkar karey te, man abhiman na anney ray Sakal lokma Sahuney bandhey, Ninda Na karye kainee ray Baach kaachh, Man nischal Raakhey, dhan-dhan jananee tainee ray Samdrishi nay trishna tyagee, par-stree jaynay mat ray Vivihva thaki asatya na bolay, par-dhan nav jhaley haath ray Moh maaya vyaayey nahin Jeynay, dridth vairagya jana manma ray Ram-nam-shoom taalee laagee, Sakal teerth seyna tanma ray Vanloohee nay kapat rahit chhay, Kaam, Krodh nivarya ray Bhane Narsinhyo tainoo darshan karta kul ekotair taarya re. Vaishnav Jan>>.......................Peer Paraya Jan RE English Translation One who is a vaishnav, Knows the pain of others Does good to others, esp. to those ones who are in misery Does not let pride enter his mind, Tolerates and praises the the entire world Does not say bad things about anyone, Keeps his/her words, actions and thoughts pure O Vaishnav, your mother is blessed A Vaishnav sees everything equally, rejects greed and avarice Considers some one else's wife/daughter as his mother The tongue may get tired, but will never speak lies Does not even touch someone else's property Vaishnav... A Vaishnav does not succumb to worldly attachments Who has devoted himself to stauch detachment to worldly pleasures Who has been addicted to the elixir coming by the name of Ram For whom all the religious sites are in the mind Vaishnav... Who has no greed and deceit; Who has renounced lust of all types and anger The poet Narsi would like to see such a person By whose virtues, the entire family gets salvation Vaishnav...
