Power of Prayer

Now I am going to discuss in another topic which is bit related to spiritualism but not spiritualism as a whole, so I put this topic as different one. In our day to day life, there might not be a single person out of this world who does not pray no matter his/her kind and host of “praying to” can be different. For some it can be GOD, for some it can be their INTUITION or PSYCHIC, and for some it can be SELF RESPECT or SELF CONFIDENCE, I mean the medium for whom or what we “pray to” and “pray for” can be different.

Majority of people only pray when they are in trouble, as like being stuck in exam or presentation etc (these examples were based according to me as being a student)

Here i am gonna put forth one devastating example of power of prayer if done from heart. Pratikshya Joshi, an entrepeneur engineer based in Dehli, but just one month before her 3rd-yr engineering exams, her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. Much of her time was spent in accompanying her for radiation and other treatment, and she was left with only 10 days to study by the time the treatment was accomplished. She recalls: “My mom remarked that cz of her I would miss a year. I assured her that it would not be so and prayed to God fervently to allow me to pass so that my mom would not feel guilt on my account. I studied hard for the time class with distinction! I’d managed to excel against all odds.”

This is just one incident which somehow describes the power of prayer, there are lots of topic to be discussed. Now furthering the topic lets being from---

What is Prayer?
Prayer has been verily described.’ Communication with God via single-minded devotion’. It is the most ancient as well as the simplest expressions of religion. It is also universal, we can’t think of culture or society where prayer doesn’t exist. ‘The words of sages, sheers and prophets are prayers’. ‘Prayer is an act of Thanks-giving, a feeling of surrender- that there is a power beyond me’.’ It is a confirmation of your faith in a divine power’.’ Spiritual connection with something higher’.

Prayer is different from meditation, which progressively quietens the mind.

Muslims pray to ALLAH, the transcendent God, HINDUS pray to BHAGWAN, and CHRISTIAN pray to Jesus, or to Mother Mary, BUDDHIST pray to BHAGWAN GAUTAMA BUDDHA, as I have explained earlier, the medium or host for whom we pray for or to is different but the resultant we will achieve or the objective of our pray to all of them are peace of mind, prosperity, wealth, health normally.

Why should one pray?

Distress, despair and ill-health can strike and paralyze anyone. More, if friends, family, counselors and not even doctors are unable to help, who do your turn to? This is the opening to prayer providence you. Prayer is depending on God for help in distress and grief. It gives an opportunity to God to comfort the devotee. Prayer lightens the heaviness of your heart by opening it to god. Prayer is expecting God to decide what is best for you when you are in dilemma.

“The first rule in prayer is to approach God only with legitimate desires. The second is to pray for their fulfillment, not as a beggar, but as a son” –(Paramhansa Yogananda)

Spiritualism

Spiritualism is a religion, a science, a philosophy and a way of life; not only is life eternal, but this can be verified. As a religion it is progressive and is considered by many to be the mother of all religions .

As a philosophy it is clear and accessible, and as a way of life it brings an element of joy into every nook and cranny of every-one’s pathway via life on earth.

Spiritualism itself was born of the northern hemisphere of our planet, although its phenomena are universal and timeless and the truths that is has revealed are as old as the earth itself.

So how does spiritualism prove that every human being, as well as every other,

creature lives for ever?

This is established through medium ship. It is established through those dedicated people who develop their psychic abilities to such extent that they are able to make a link, to become the exchange whereby those who presently reside in the world of spirit may communicated with those still here in the world of physical matter.

Our psychic being is our intuitive self.. It is that aspect of our persona that knows what we like and what we dislike.-and not only that very often who we like and whom we dislike at the first meeting.

All of us can recall walking into a building whether it be someone’s home or a public place, and feeling immediately uncomfortable, or walking into a crowded room, perhaps at a party, and seeing someone whom we like the look of or feel drawn to for no particular reason. Or the experience of making up a foursome for your friend’s benefits, a so-called “blind date” situation, where you can then forced to be in company of someone to whom you have taken an immediate dislike for an entire evening. All these impulses emanate from your psychic faculties.

This psychic side of your earthly life has a direct association with your spirit, and via your spirit to the spirit dimensions.

Modern Spiritualism first appeared in the 1840s in the Burned-Over
of upstate New York where earlier religious movements such as Millerism (Seventh Day Adventists) and Mormonism had emerged during the Second great awakening. It was an environment in which many people felt that direct communication with God or angels was possible, and in which many people felt uncomfortable with notions that God would behave harshly — for example, that God would condemn unbaptised infants to an eternity in Hell.
