Requesting A Prayer
Like so many of you, I was very moved by Gandhi 3.0 retreat -- and to this day, my heart continues to discover unexpected ways in which I was moved.
During one of our intention journaling, I remember reading this blurb by Rika:
As I sat with the beauty of that intention, I made a commitment to myself. I commit to 15 minutes of prayer while waking up and 15 minutes before sleep -- for anyone who needs it, and for the well-being of everyone in general.
Bhavatu sabba mangalan
Lokah samastha sukhino bhavantu
May peace prevail in our hearts, and in the world
To build on that intention, we just started a humble page where anyone can request a prayer: movedbylove.org/projects/prayer
And it so happened that right as we were working on that page, Kishan sent this message:
"Jayeshbhai's mother, Vasudha-baa, met an injury and underwent a hip fracture operation. With grace and blessing, she didn't face any major problems during the operation and she will be relieved from the hospital in two days. Doctors say that she will be fine again in a month. Shall update you more once I have further information, but it's her birthday tomorrow and we plan to have prayers."
I invite all of you to join in the prayers, today and any other day that you're moved to serve in that way.

Ohhh wowwwww!!! Sheetal!!!!! How amaaaazing! Thank you so much for this!! This is so beautiful. And Trishna, thank you for the beautiful sharing! I believe that we are beings who can sense where prayer is needed at the time we pray. However it is so comforting and relieving to know for those people who are witnessing the "pain" that the light is sent to that person or incident and that we care and believe that "pain" can transform into something beautiful. I alway offer my prayer for it to transform into light, instead of fixing it or curing it, believing that there is greater miracles beyond our imagination!
So I love Sheetal's prayerâ¤ï¸ï¸
May peace prevail in our hearts and in the world.
May Vasudha-baa's divine spark shine through her physical pain.
Thank you so much 😊
Infinite love and light ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ™

So beautiful to see this Sheetal, Rika and Trishna! Just today we were sharing with a friend how deeply we'd been moved hearing Yuka-san talk about how the intention behind the Symphony of Peace Prayers encompasses praying for and on behalf of all those in the world who may not be in a position to pray for themselves. To pray on their behalf until every heart is able to hold its own prayer...Another thing that the three incredible Saionji sisters had sent our way were a set of prayer mandala templates -- both large ones and small ones. It's been a beautiful practice to write out the prayers as well, and in the spirit of offering to those who could use the gift of prayer. Thank you for letting us know about Vasudha-baa. Sending love, gratitude and prayers.
