Santhosam Podcast: Guiding Light of Spiritual Wisdom

பிரார்த்தனை என்றால் என்ன? What is prayer? How does it impact our daily life?

Santhosam

What is prayer? There are three aspects to it: the one who prays, the divine being to whom the prayer is offered, and the reason or cause for the prayer.


The one who prays, from time to time, prays for various aspects of personal life such as physical health, mental well-being, intellectual growth, family welfare, and material prosperity. The same person, in this prayer, refers to the individual, the individual’s family, economic status, profession, and their betterment. This is considered personal worship or personal prayer, and it is called sincere (or heartfelt) prayer. An individual goes to temples and prays. At that time, during the collective prayer in the temple, when he prays not for his own well-being but for the welfare of the nation and the world, it is called selfless prayer— Paramarthiga prayer. Therefore, the one who prays, the divine being to whom the prayer is directed, and the purpose of the prayer — all three must be present.


A prayer for personal well-being:
If you want food, you can ask and receive it from the mother. 
If you want material wealth, you can ask and receive it from the father.
If you want education, you can ask and receive it from the teacher.
But if you want to receive everything, you must ask and receive it from God.
Do you seek good health?
Do you long for peace of mind?
Do you wish for knowledge and wisdom?
Do you desire wealth and prosperity?
Do you hope for a long life?


Whatever you seek — ask it from the One who possesses it all. And when you look for who holds all these in this world, It is only the Almighty God who is the possessor of all blessings and powers.
