Daily Prayer

This weekend in the��Japa Room we talked about what to include in our prayers so we can make our chanting more effective and directed to our goals. It's very common for everyone to pray for some lack even in material life, we are conditioned to many things and we sometimes want to share with the Lord what we need and ask for assistance, maybe pray for other devotees or family members and so on.

For sure our Lord knows what we need and He provides us with everything already, just like the father that knows what his child needs and the kid won't need to ask for it. A kid may ask for something, the father may think its unfavorauble and won't give it and this is right....but the child at the beginning won't understand, just like us, maybe the Lord will supply us with what is favourable to our spiritual life and not for material life.

Concerning japa, we may ask for help for our common obstacles like innattention , wandering minds, not  hearing the mantra properly,  from commiting offenses and looking forward to having spiritual emotions while chanting.

All of these can be included in our daily prayer and maybe something else we may lack in our spiritual path or wish to achieve. The mood of chanting should be always in a humble state and prayer puts us in this position just by addressing the Lord as the mantainer and the Supreme and we as fallen souls asking to be blessed with pure devotional service towards Him.
