My Prarthna Journey & Inspirations for offering Prarthna services:
My journey with praying is as old as when I was a school child. It started when I was an adolescent and was introduced to Buddhism by my family and friends. It felt so magical as we prayed and chanted for specific issues for ourselves and others in our group. Compassion brimmed in my heart at the pains of others and I prayed deeply and purely for them. My next breakthrough came in the year 2010 when I was diagnosed with a deadly spinal cord cancer. The pain and terror of death plunged me into learning many healing modalities like reiki and other forms of energy work. And behold! I prayed and healed my body without taking any chemotherapy which was medically advised to tide over my cancer. I saw the immense power of prayer in its full depth and magnitude. Then I plunged into my Buddhist practice and this time I prayed and prayed for others. The immense stories of their victories over suffering and inner bliss blossomed in my heart and I knew how fulfilling it was for me to be a part of their stories of success, joy and courage. After that, the next 22 years of my life have been based on prayers.
What is my inspiration to offer Prarthna/prayers for you?
While I walked many spiritual paths of Srividya, Advaita, Yoga, Bhakti etc, I witnessed the magical and subtle power of the act of prayer. It was not merely ritualistic for me, but the highest expression of my divinity. I saw that God/source bent to the act of purity in my prayers. That’s how Prarthana has been and remains a sure and simple solution to everything I do. I base every action on prayer and its consequences too. This faith helps me to offer you a set of Prarthna services for you that can help you feel empowered, courageous, fearless and divine too.
Also, As I offer these Prarthana services to you, I benefit a lot. It helps deepen my sadhana, inculcate more and more gratitude, magnetizes more abundance in my own life and makes me deepen my connection with the self. As I pray for you, I feel your pain and our shared humanity that inspires humility and more compassion and love in my own heart. I feel your angst, fears, and bitterness and also celebrate your joys, successes, and impacts and thus become an inseparable part of the MYSTIC & GLOBAL WHOLESOMENESS we are a part of. I know clearly and without a doubt that WE ARE ONE!
