Prayers and Blessings
On the Siddha Yoga path, Gurumayi teaches that sending prayers and offering blessings are essential practices that have the power to uplift and transform the world we live in.
At times of tragedy or great challenge, it is a natural human impulse to give our heartfelt support to those who are affected. When we offer prayers and blessings with full faith and clear intention, we call forth the innate goodness of our own Self and send that pure energy into the world.
One way to send prayers and offer blessings is to make an intention before reciting svadhyaya, doing mantra japa, or chanting a namasankirtana. By dedicating our spiritual practices in this way, we bring about harmony and unity among human beings and all creation.
May the prayers, voices, and actions of animal lovers be full of compassionate strength, and may they be heard.

I am praying that each day brings the experience of unity to every soul. May all beings learn to see God in one another.

For many months now, I have been offering the fruits of my daily spiritual practices for the good of those I have known throughout my life. I have also been offering them in order to help alleviate the suffering of everyone throughout the world who is experiencing the effects of war, famine, or other calamities.
Doing this brings me great solace, and it also gives a deeper meaning to my life.

This is a time of great suffering for Israelis and Palestinians who are caught up in the Israel/Hamas war—a time when I fear that Islamophobia and anti-Semitism are in danger of being on the rise. I salute the existing alliances of love and friendship between Palestinians and Israelis, Jews and Muslims, in the Middle East and around the world. I pray for their soul-filled work to break through the layers of hate and violence and help bring about a positive future.

I pray for all those who are without food in Gaza.
This morning, I remembered the story of Draupadi praying to Lord Krishna to fill her food bowl when it was empty. And he did! So I prayed that the nourishment of the food I was eating would reach those who need it in Gaza.
Some years ago, I created a prayer that I offer daily before eating, and I will continue to offer this prayer for those who are suffering in the Middle East. I ask that the food before me helps to heal, nourish, and protect me. I pray that everyone, everywhere be healed, nourished, and protected.
May God’s light heal our divisions.

On this April autumn evening, as the golden globe of the sun was setting, I walked around the area I live in and I came across a question written in chalk on the footpath: "Would you like to play?" Then I saw several simple invitations, one after the other, to follow the lines and arrows to play games, including “hopscotch,” “walk backwards,” follow a very “curly line”—and there was even a serpent! It was surprising, intriguing, and delightful. I silently thanked the creative author of this invitation, whom I assumed was a child.
I pray that the children of our world continue to inspire us, now and always, to be lighthearted, playful, and simple. Gurumayi is the best role model for living with a “fresh young spirit,” and during these challenging times, her teachings are guiding me to remain vigilant in returning to my inner strength and the magical openness that children embody.
May we all continue to experience and appreciate our daily special moments of grace.

Tomorrow, I will offer my recitation of Shri Guru Gita for the situation with the coronavirus. I pray that everyone everywhere may experience peace, contentment and fearlessness now and always.
Sydney, Australia
As I contemplate the world events connected to the coronavirus, I pray that we may all learn beneficial lessons from our experiences. May our awareness expand to recognize the fact that these events are giving the earth a precious chance to rest and rejuvenate, as human activity slows down and enters a uniquely quiet phase. The skies are less crowded and less polluted, and the birds are enjoying their new air space. With fewer travelers, the waters are calmer and the fish have more freedom to swim. And through it all, I feel that deep, inner stillness that we all share.
As a registered nurse, I know that the more we ourselves take time to breathe deeply and to feel that inner stillness, the more our immune systems are strengthened, and the more we can open our hearts to healing and helping one another. And so I pray that we come to discern the hidden blessings bestowed on us in the current circumstances.

I joined a prayer circle, and we are offering our practices to bring rain, solace, and protection to all who are being affected by the fires blazing in Australia.
This morning after offering Shri Guru Gita, I sat in meditation. This prayer arose:
“Take a portion of the fire. Remove this measure of the blaze and offer it to the fire within. Allow this fire to burn away all that stands in the way of divine perception. Tend this fire with your practices, sacrifice, and the light of your awareness as it grows.
Make yourself a refreshing lake. Allow the pure waters of wisdom to wash away ignorance so that true knowledge shines through the prism of your mind. Offer cool waters of kindness to those around you. Listen inwardly. Keep the vigil of the resplendent Self who dwells in your heart."
Thank you, Gurumayi, for the Siddha Yoga practices that constantly teach me how to live.

May the local government find new ways to stimulate research, knowledge, and reverence for history and culture.
May the people of Brazil be comforted and find new places to search for knowledge—within and without.

I am a scuba diver and have had the opportunity to enjoy the pristine waters of the South Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu, about 1,000 miles east of Australia. Therefore, I was very sorry to hear that the Vanuatu island of Amebae had recently suffered an earthquake, followed by the eruption of the Manaro volcano, and then by cyclone Pam.
A group of Siddha Yoga friends and I, all living in different parts of the world, decided to send our prayers and blessings in support of all those affected by these calamities. We recited Shri Guru Gita at the same time on behalf of the safe and smooth evacuation of the 11,000 island inhabitants.
May Shri Guru’s love and protection embrace each person affected by this series of devastating events on Vanuatu.

I am praying for the awakening of all humanity. I am praying that we fully realize that we are one, that with each and every in-breath and out-breath we are bringing forth a new reality. I am praying that we know deeply that we are each other’s brothers’ and sisters’ keepers.
I am praying that we may share this life generously with one another.

I am an anthropologist and work for an international organization that provides emergency medical care to people affected by crises in countries around the world. We give assistance when tragic events overwhelm local health systems. My role is to update the group I lead with news of devastating events worldwide. Last week, after re-reading the shares from the Prayers and Blessings Satsang with Gurumayi, I made the intention to offer my prayers and blessings to all the people affected by the tragic events that I report to my team. I decided that I was not going to just “update” the group with the news, but after reading each piece of information, I would also pause and make a short silent prayer. When I told a co-worker about what I was doing, she joined me! And then, one by one, the rest of the group! We are now having sweet satsangs, indeed.
Thank you, Gurumayi, for showing me that I can make a difference in the world by my ongoing contribution to the upliftment of all.

I was very sorry to learn that a pedestrian bridge had collapsed near the Florida International University in Miami. I am originally from Argentina, but live part of the year in Miami. So this tragic event particularly touched me because I have friends living in the area. Early this morning, I recited Shri Guru Gita with the intention of sending blessings to the people who were hospitalized and praying for the family members who lost loved ones. May Shri Guru’s grace give comfort and solace to the people affected.
Florida, USA
This morning, before the recitation of Shri Guru Gita, our host reminded us that we can each offer prayers and the recitation of Shri Guru Gita to everyone affected by the wild fires in California.
I formed a prayer asking that each one of them would be comforted and supported. During our recitation, I focused on the text and connected with my breath.
I know that the prayer I offer each morning while reciting Shri Guru Gita will be one among many heartfelt prayers offered at this time.

I was offering seva at Shree Muktananda Ashram yesterday. At the midday namasankirtana, the host explained that we would be sending our prayers and blessings in response to the southern California fires. She read a beautiful intention, asking us to send blessings for all the people there, and for the animals and the earth. We first all silently created our prayer and then chanted with such deep focus, intention, and love. It was awesome.
That evening, I participated in the monthly meeting of my sadhana circle at my home; we continued to focus on Gurumayi’s Message for 2017. After exploring the teaching for December—"The sound of your breath is music to your soul"—we lay in a circle on the floor in the shavasana pose of hatha yoga, breathing together as one, and sending our blessings to everyone, including those in California affected by the fires. We felt very connected.
Thank you, Gurumayi, for helping us learn the importance of sending prayers and blessings—and how to do so.

I recognize that whenever I breathe out, I can offer a prayer. I have been praying for the rains to come to soothe the earth in California, and for refuge to be provided for every human, every animal, every plant.
After offering prayers and blessings for California yesterday during the midday namasankirtana at Shree Muktananda Ashram, I understood what great power we have when we join together in this way.

As I was seeking a meaningful way to offer blessings to everyone who is experiencing suffering due to recent events in the world, I visited the “Prayers and Blessings” section of the Siddha Yoga path website for inspiration.
I was drawn to the bhajan by poet-saint Tulsidas and was deeply reassured to read his prayer. Though the prayer was written long ago, it seemed to me to be just as relevant today. I felt grateful to Tulsidas for articulating his faith in God so clearly.
Then I played the CD of the bhajan and sang along with Gurumayi. As I did this, I experienced an even deeper feeling of reassurance.

While tears fall for so many affected by tragedies of hurricanes, earthquakes, and now the shooting in Las Vegas, again and again I turn to the Heart. I remember the gift of Gurumayi’s Message. I remember that my heart is strong, it is generous, it is unlimited, and it can help uplift our world, one breath and blessing at a time.
California, USA
Earlier this week at the noon chant in Shree Muktananda Ashram, we were invited to offer the chant as a blessing to all those impacted by the tragedy in Las Vegas. As we chanted, I could feel the power of our shared focus. I experienced that each particle of air was being enveloped in our love and blessings. I felt that our collective prayer was uplifting the world.
Afterwards when I meditated, as my breath flowed in and out, I held the awareness that it was filling the hearts of all who are suffering with love and peace. I experienced that through the air around me, through each breath, I have the power to send blessings and share love with the world.
Thank you, Gurumayi, for your teachings about prayers and blessings.

I am so grateful for these prayers and teachings. When I woke this morning and heard about the tragedy in Las Vegas, I went to the Prayers and Blessings page and read the words of Pasayadan; then I chanted and sent blessings.
I am offering my prayers for the people impacted by this unfathomable event and for their families. May they find comfort.

I am so inspired by the outpouring of love, courage, strength, and mutual support that the people of Mexico are sharing with each other following this latest tragic earthquake.
The recovery will certainly take time, so my prayer is this: May love and courage sustain everyone.
May everyone experience peace beneath the turmoil.
May everyone be protected and receive all needed support.
May we all be united in prayer.

When I learned about the earthquake in Mexico yesterday, at first I was fearful about my friends who live there. Then I remembered Gurumayi’s Message for 2017. I started repeating each line and connecting inside, through my breath, with all the people affected. I imagined a golden string uniting us all. I asked God to help me respond with generosity in prayer and to remain aware of the needs of the world, even after this crisis has passed.
This morning, I created an intention to offer my spiritual practices and daily activities as a prayer for love, light, and blessings for all those affected by the natural disasters occurring on our planet right now.
Thank you, Gurumayi, for teaching me how to take shelter in your grace and to take inspiration from your teachings.

While my husband was listening to the latest news about Hurricane Maria and the earthquake in Mexico, I heard the commentator say to the correspondent in Puerto Rico, “I can hear the strength in your voice. People are going to need that—stay strong!
I thought that was a wonderful thing for him to say—a sincere blessing and acknowledgment of the correspondent’s strength. I felt deeply connected with these two speakers, and with everyone in Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the other places in the path of the hurricane. I immediately thought of the many ways that the Siddha Yoga teachings remind us of the strength of the Self, and how they help us draw forth our own courage, compassion, and awareness of unity with others.
I took some time to send prayers and blessings for peace, protection, and resilience to those in the midst of current trials. As I did this, respect and compassion filled my heart.

When I heard the news about Manchester, England, I visited this Prayers and Blessings section of the Siddha Yoga path website to connect to the profound wisdom and uplifting teachings expressed here. It feels like a deep well of compassionate guidance with which I can restore and strengthen my connection to the goodness and the love in this world.
I read the heartfelt shares from Siddha Yoga students around the world, whose insights into applying Gurumayi’s teachings about the power of prayer and blessings inspire me. One way I plan to bring the practice of prayers and blessings into my daily life is to recite Pasayadan and Let Us Be United prior to meditating.
I am so grateful to Gurumayi for the unending generosity and wisdom with which she guides me through the challenges of this world.

I especially noted the word essential in Gurumayi’s teaching that "sending prayers and offering blessings are essential practices that have the power to uplift and transform the world we live in." The word essential reminded me that there is one essence in the universe, and that by centering myself in the madhya, I can reflect the peace of that essence outwardly.
I am also reminded of verse 129 in Shri Guru Gita that teaches that the powers gained from reciting Shri Guru Gita are to be used "for the welfare of people" and not "for selfish gains." I love to recite this sacred text, and to offer this practice for the peace and harmony of the world.

Last year when tragedy struck in Brussels, I was able to take refuge in the words of Pasayadan to offer support for my work colleagues there. Today, I found strength in those same words to go to work in my own city.
Thank you, Gurumayi, for continuing to make the teachings so readily accessible for me to tap into. My love and gratitude to you always.

The news of the tragic event in Berlin has stayed with me, especially because of dear friends I have there. It has been a comfort to know that although I live far away, my prayers and blessings can benefit those affected by what happened.
I am also experiencing how such events strengthen my determination to bring more light and love into the world. By chance, a friend from Berlin shared this proverb with me just recently: "The tree that falls makes noise. The forest grows in silence." This image reminds me of the "forest" of good deeds performed every day "in silence.”
And so, as I extend holiday greetings to friends and family around the world, I find myself drawn to thanking them for their individual contributions in making the world a better place. I am moved to see how, in this way, my heart opens to the healing power of gratitude.

When I heard about the powerful earthquake that occurred in New Zealand, I immediately remembered Gurumayi’s teachings about that other powerful force in our lives: the prayers and blessings that we offer to others, even when they’re thousands of miles away. So when I recited Shri Guru Gita this morning, I offered the recitation for the benefit of all those impacted by the earthquake. As the recitation continued, I imagined the waves of positive energy and sacred intentions flowing instantaneously over the globe to reach everyone in the affected area.
I am very grateful for these teachings because, at the most challenging times, they help me stay connected to my heart, and to the still place within me that no physical earthquake can perturb.

Gurumayi’s teachings have led me to understand that maintaining a state of equanimity enables me to offer peace and love to the world. It has taken me a while to imbibe this because I often reacted to suffering by becoming agitated. Finally, I understand that this is not helpful!
I am grateful that whenever I learn about tragedies and struggles, I can visit the website and offer prayers and blessings, taking very specific actions. It is uplifting to know that other Siddha Yogis are offering blessings to the world at the same time.

In these days we are living the terrible tragedy of the earthquake that hit the center of Italy. Many people lost their lives, while others got saved. The earth continues to tremble.
