19. Prāthanā Flashcards
For those faults which one
cannot recognize, one should pray to God, ‘Mahārāj, please be compassionate and destroy whichever faults I may have. Vachanamrut: Gadhada II 66
Just like God, the great sādhu (Satpurush)
also knows everything. And he is like God. Therefore, shed all perceptions of human traits in the sādhu and pray, since he is omniscient. Satsang Diksha: Shlok 153
One should pray daily to
Swāminārāyaṇ Bhagwān and the Brahmaswarup Guru with faith and devotion. Satsang Diksha: Shlok 153
In Bhuj, Shri Hari said, “Day and night
pray to God that one never maligns any jiva. If unknowingly, through mind, deed, or speech one maligns even slightly, then pray and ask for forgiveness: ‘Forgive me. Please mercifully save me from maligning.’ God protects one who remembers this. Purushottam Bolya Prite: 3

After dinner, Mahant Swami Maharaj returned to his bedroom for rest at 8:30pm.
Swamishri did not have continuous sleep. At 9:10pm, Swamishri sat up on his bed. Munichintan Swami called Shrutipriya Swami who then inquired as to what happened and if there were any problems?
Swamishri said no. The sevak sadhus further questioned, “Then what happened? Why are you sitting?”
Swamishri responded, “Prārthanā karu chhu.” (I am doing prārthanā.)
Sevak: “Konā māte?” (For whom?)
Swamishri: “Deshma varsād thāy ane haribhakto sukhiyā thāy te māte.” (For rainfall in India and for the happiness of the devotees.)
Sevak: “Āp kyāre kyāre prārthanā karo chho?” (How often do you do prārthanā?)
Swamishri: “Darroj.” (Every day).
