A beautiful and inclusive perspective on prayer from Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji!

 To whom you pray is not important. Whereas religion puts words to the prayer, and adds symbols and rituals to it, the prayer itself transcends them. It happens in subtle level of feelings and the feelings transcend words and religion. The act of praying itself has the power to bring transformation. 

~ Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji

 A beautiful and inclusive perspective on prayer from Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji!

He emphasizes that:

- The object of prayer (God, universe, higher power) is not as important as the act of praying itself

- Religion and words can facilitate prayer, but the true essence of prayer lies in the subtle level of feelings and emotions

- Prayer transcends words, religion, and rituals, connecting us to something deeper and universal

Gurudev highlights that the act of praying has the power to bring transformation, regardless of our beliefs or affiliations. Prayer can:

- Connect us to our inner selves and the present moment

- Bring calm, clarity, and inner peace

- Help us access our inner strength and resilience

- Facilitate personal growth and spiritual evolution

May we embrace this wisdom and allow prayer to be a universal language, connecting us all in our shared human experience.
