Special Prayer Club this Saturday - New Years Day - Jan 1 2005

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

Thank you Ramya for your heartfelt suggestion of a group sankalpa

for those affected by the recent Tsunami.

 

As Swamiji has said in a recent response to the question posed by

Chris on Tsunami, this is "an opportunity to work together to

rebuild in greater harmony."

 

Let us then work together as a group in great harmony and offer our

prayers to the benefit of the world.

 

There are two group sankalpas that we can do as a group , and both

recommended by Swamiji:

 

First Sankalpa

 

As Swamiji suggested the MM and Gayatri Mantras , we will have a 1

hour sankalpa - 30 minutes of MM and the next 30 minutes of Gayatri

mantra - done on New Years day - at any time of your convenience on

that day. This is in place of our usual Prayer club sadhana where we

chant the MM mantra 21 times. This time we will not have individual

recipients but we will focus our energy to give peace to those

affected.

 

Second Sankalpa

There can be no peace in the world without peace in the individual.

Swamiji has suggested chanting the Chandi on New Years eve. Each

person can chant either the Seedha (straight path and shortest path)

or the entire book depending on one's time and ability.

 

All those interested in participating in one or both sankalpas

please write in to the group and inform. Please let me know by

Friday noon, so that I can publish the sankalpas in the next 2 hours

for everyone's benefit.

 

JAI MAA !

Earth Mother bless us all !
