A Prayer for Inner Peace
A prayer gathering for inner and world peace.
"The enemy is not outside of us; the enemy is inside of us." "The aim of all prayer is to reach peace. When we attain and secure peace within ourselves, only then can we give that peace to others."
A representative of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness addresses a large gathering, framing the quest for peace as an internal battle against greed and anger. He explains that prayer's purpose is to cleanse the heart, and that inner peace is the prerequisite for sharing peace with the world. He concludes by leading the assembly in chanting the Hare Krishna mantra.
