We understand prayer as a humble request to the Lord for His mercy and protection. We know that we are not perfect and that we have many weaknesses, mistakes, attachments, and things within us that need to be purified. Therefore, we ask the Lord to keep us among sincere devotees who truly love Him, because being in their company can help us become more humble, sincere, and closer to God.When we say that we are like a stone sinking in water, we acknowledge that we cannot cross the difficulties of life by our own strength. Just as a stone cannot save itself from sinking, we cannot overcome our ego, mistakes, and weaknesses without the Grace of the SadGuru. We ask Him to lift us up, carry us, and take us safely across.We understand the impurities from countless lives as all the wrong things we have carried within ourselves, our ego, selfishness, anger, desires, attachments, and mistakes. When we remain close to the bhaktas and sincerely remember God, these impurities slowly begin to be removed, just as fire removes the impurities from gold and makes it pure.
That is why we want to remember and chant the Holy Name of Sri Hari,Sri Hari, Sri Hari, Sri Vithala Giridhari Parabrahmane Namaha.We see the Name of the Lord as medicine for the heart. When we chant His Name, we bring our minds back to Him instead of allowing ourselves to become lost in worries, desires, and distractions. The more we remember Him, the more we can let go of our ego and become humble.
We know that Sri Hari is infinite, all-powerful, and beyond our understanding. Yet He is also close to His devotees and is the Life of the whole world. This gives us hope, because even though we may feel small and unworthy, we can still approach Him with love and ask for His mercy.So our prayer is simple:
Lord, please have mercy on us. Keep us close to You and among Your sincere devotees. Purify our hearts and remove our ego and impurities. Help us remember Your Holy Name always. When we are weak, give us strength. When we are lost, guide us. When we are sinking, lift us up and carry us across.Please never leave us, and always remain with Your bhaktas.We place our whole lives, every fear, every weakness, and every hope into Your hands. Even when we cannot see the way forward, we trust that Your Grace will lead us safely home.
Let us never forget Your Name, never lose faith in Your mercy, and never turn away from Your loving presence.Carry us across this ocean of life, and let us rest forever at Your feet Hari Hari Hari Jai Jai Ram krishna Hari
