This is a form of expression of the mind, where he / she remembers or marks the desire or makes a notes to do it in future. A prayer is one, where a person concentrates or meditates to a diety (or the supreme almighty), who could be in the form of an idol, or be it the mother nature, or to an omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient power, or the powerful innerself. The end result is that the desires are fulfilled, be it good or bad. If done in an effective manner following all the procedures, all can happen very effectively, but the fact is that one who does prayer for good, reaps for long, and one who does for wrong and bad intentions lasts short, and they are less respected. A prayer is a 1 to 1 appointment with god. It’s a very personal talk with the one whom they feel secure and in-turn fulfill their desires. A prayer is nothing but, if said scientifically is to create a very desired kind of vibration to complete the task or desired wishes, be it good or bad, as positive vibrations are necessary for good work and negative vibrations for bad work. There are various kinds of prayers, as said above, some people do idol worship, scientifically which is a source of vibration, that keeps radiating to everyone that’s around it. By doing these kind of prayers, the vibration levels are raised, here it could be to specific god / deities. Another is, a prayer where there is no idol worship. Here the devotee keeps an unseen almighty all the powers. Here it can be to any god. In a prayer, one expresses his desires, confessions, wishes, to the welfare of the mass. Prayer can be as simple as a salutation, or recitation of simple slokas or hymns, to performing vedic rituals or homas in a very pious manner.
Our ancestors worshipped nature, as they felt that the nature has all the necessary things for man, like the air we breathe, fire that cooks food, water we drink. Land that gives us the shelter atmosphere that houses all gases that’s necessary to sustain life.
Since ages, a very strict regime or rule is maintains to do prayers, the reason being taking bath, makes us clean and our mind and soul is fresh to concentrate on prayer, as body along with mind is one of the medium to reach the god; wearing neat and clean clothes that are comfortable, to some extent ; then a silent environment to concentrate ; a calm and free mind and no evil desires to get the best results of the prayers are done for self, and sometimes for others, can be on behalf of others, or to do good or bad to others. Prayers if done well, reaches the almighty (scientifically raises our vibration level thus raising the mental, physical and spiritual levels).
All the above factors seems to be so trivial these days, but all have very evident and strong reasons that’s hidden under the thick blanket of unexplained and unexplored scientific knowledge. The reason being, if done in particular direction, time of the day, day of the week and month, and in the correct month and the correct century, it evolves more effective, as this also has a link with the alighment of the planets, which majorly monitors the state of affairs (ssthithi-gathi) of every living being. It depends on the person (male or female), as there are some prayers that if done by females (like gayatri matra, or
Man, off late has not realized the effectiveness of prayer. In fact its a strange truth that by doing prayers can lead to good digestion of all kinds of food in our body, to an extent it has the power to burn the bones also. Prayers cause real miracles.
Prayers can not only do that, but also helps to flex muscles of the body, increase memory. But one thing that has to be kept in mind is that, it has to be pronounced in the correct way it should be done, else it either becomes ineffective or useless, or even become negatively dangerous. They could do nothing there are evidences of the ghosts, preta, pishachi, mohini, dhakini… that has extreme powers that no man can possess at any time. But the prayers can put them to silence, to an extent that they could do nothing. That’s the power of a prayer. prayers can even spell rain. Scientifically this is called cloud seeding that the scientists do to spell rain in a rain starved area. The ingredients that goes into the prayer induces the environment to rain. Sages in the past had all these powers and had the privilege to display in times when nature had its aggression on the anthropoids. Going farther back, to times of rama (tretayuga) and Krishna (dwapara yuga), or even before to krutyuga, these days prayers causeda lot of welfare to people be it when deamons attacked devas (god) and hid in the ocean, sage agaystya drank the entire ocean, and the deamons were killed, or bhageeratha who with his prayers brought down the great ganges , or be it ravana, who lifted the mighty Himalayas along with shiva and parvati ;on the other-hand it was deamon guru shuklacharya, who with his prayer got a boon to bring alive all the dead deamons, or be it kumbhakarna, or bhasmasura, or mahishasura, or ashwathama who tried ending the linage of the pandavas.
Even to this day, both are evident and the bad one is called as black magic.
It all recides in us, how we use the prayers, be it negative or positive.
Elders say at least if not possible to recite the prayers listening to it or reading it blesses everyone.
Why is the prayer so simple at one end, and exemplary at the other end? The reason being, to cater to the economically weaker section, and the rich people. Simple prayers indulge just a salutation or with some incense sticks and camphor and lightening the lamps and offering flowers, and a coconut and prasadams, to the other extent of doing homas, where offering are done to the holy fire god. Prayers can extend from few minutes to few hours to days or even months, depending on its effect. Off-late people are recognizing the positive effects of prayers and are trying to understand it scientifically. The prayers are a form that expresses the mind of the devotee. Sometimes the prayers are preformed with kalashas, which is like the power house of god, and also doing abbhishekas.
At the end of the prayer, prasada is offered, in the form of thirtha (holy water), prasadams (solid food). Flowers … these when seen scientifically says that the abhisheka performed on the gods , which are made of metal, or in some specific stones water, milk, curds, honey… result in a homogenous mixture that is overall good for the body, that’s not only has milk, curds, honey, water plus ingredients of those metals, or stones that’s beneficial to the human being. Now coming to the recitation of the prayer, in an exact form, leads to the flexing of the muscles, both internal and external organs leading to an overall development. In a plain sense, a prayer is a form of meditation or concentration, where we forget our external business worls and involve in ourself. Actually a prayer is not only intended to god, but also to ourselves, and point out good and bad. It’s the time where we tell our problems, which needs solution actually very few do the other half, of finding the solution to it. When we know the problem, a solution has to be found out. There are some, who does all those and finally then come to god to find the answer.
Off late its found that the doctors, who were believed to have more self-belief than on god, are praying that the operation be successful, and in a sense are raising their confidence in an unknown way and saying I can do it.
A prayer in its basic meaning is to make man submissive, telling that there is one who is more superior to you, that’s almighty. And he has super powers. This keeps man powerful in himself, contained in himself, and not being over possessive of his powers.
After a prayer food should be server, or offered to others, be it in form of little prasadam, or feasting them, in a sense as it has induced hunger in them in the course of the prayer. The negative vibrations can not only cause self harm, but also harm others. You ca personally feel the difference of a place that was overdone with prayer to do good, and that place where prayers were done to do bad, like the temple and holy shrines being the source of positive energy, and graveyard and sacrifice places have a gory look. Prayer that is done just to remember the god, can be done at any point of time, day or year. This reduces the pain that one has physically, or mentally, or morally or spiritually.
Last but not the least, it’s in the minds of the person who does the prayer, whether he is doing it for good, or for the bad.
