Life experiences of a bhakta in India
A direct connection to the divine is our great fortune, yet it can be forgotten in states of anger or sadness. Many lack this connection and suffer, causing further suffering. We can use mantra and prayer to reconnect and to envision peace for all beings. Visualize those in conflict or pain as joyful and free. Chanting for universal peace, from individuals to all of nature, creates a tangible effect. This practice can transform personal relationships by focusing on shared happiness rather than difficulty.
"We’re lucky that we have a direct connection to the Divine through our Living Master."
"So rather than thinking... it’s difficult... We can think of them being happy, with a smile on their face."
