Marriage is an institution where you come out of your small self to start caring for someone else, for everyone.

 -Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

An intense desire can either frustrate you or make you prayerful. In prayerfulness, there is gratitude and devotion.

What you cannot change through effort, you can change through prayer.

Yantra is made and then prayers are done in front of the Yantra. Yantras are kept in the house. Its vibrations are there. But more than Yantras is your meditation. If you do meditation, then Yantras are made in your body.

An intense desire can either frustrate you or make you prayerful. In prayerfulness, there is gratitude & devotion.

When you are happy, then you be grateful and remember God, and when you are unhappy, you naturally remember God as you want to get rid of your misery. These are the two occasions when your prayer is very authentic: when you are totally grateful or two, when you are suffering.

An intense desire can frustrate you or make you prayerful. In prayerfulness, there is gratitude & devotion.

That which you can set right, you should set it right, and that which you cannot correct, which is beyond your capacity, for that prayer is the best option.

The whole world is one. Our ancestors and rishis (wise sages) also used to say that when you perform a Yajna (sacred fire ritual) here, the vibrations and effects will reach everywhere. When you pray then your prayer has the power to move the whole world.

What you pray for is what you think you cannot achieve with your limited resources, skills, or your effort. That is when prayer happens. Then you say, ‘I need this, but I don’t think I can do this. Please grant me this’. While asking, you also can add, ‘If you think there is something better in store for me, then let that happen!’

Prayer is asking God, “God, give me this” or saying, “Thank you God for giving me this. God you gave me water. I thank you. You have given me food. I thank you. You gave me pleasure, joy and happiness. I thank you.” In prayer you are either thanking God or asking something from Him.

Whatever prayer we do, we do it for our own happiness. We pray to uplift our own selves. We do not pray to please God. People who think that they can please God by fasting are foolish. It is sheer ignorance.

Spending time in nature, observing silence and engaging in prayer is very congenial for helping us to reflect on our own mind.
