Prayer for peace
An evening address on silent prayer and global healing during a pandemic.
"Today's prayer was that mauna praṭhanā... inwardly, with folded hands, we were praying, connecting with our inner sound."
"We are not thinking only of one religion's prayer. All religions should join together, and we should all pray to God that all humans, all animals, and this whole globe remain in a very clear, peaceful atmosphere."
Swami Maheshwarananda welcomes attendees and describes a recent silent prayer (Mauna Yoga) session held in response to the global pandemic. He emphasizes prayers for all beings, encourages responsible practices like mask-wearing, and discusses how the Yoga in Daily Life organization is sustaining its service and community support through online sessions and charity. The talk concludes with a spiritual chant.
