Do I need a reason to pray?


Every night and every day 
Sitting in silence - 
When I bow my head and say... 
Do I need a reason to pray?

Way to connect with a feeling
To realize the spirit of life -
When prayer becomes my breathing...
Do I need a reason to pray?

Things around me grows deceiving
And the going gets tough -
When I find the courage to keep on moving...
Do I need a reason to pray?

The only One I can talk free
Where my secrets are bound safe -
When He alone understands the depth in me...
Do I need a reason to pray?

Having all the sins I erred
I seek for forgiveness -
When He wipes away my tears that shed...
Do I need a reason to pray?

Looking gloomy in despair,
Yet, blooms the hope to survive -
When the Oneness can mend and care...
Do I need a reason to pray?

Happiness to embrace
The smile that I wear -
When I am bestowed with His grace...
Do I need a reason to pray?

Protection from evil forces
Saves my respect from breaking bad -
When He guides me through the right choices...
Do I need a reason to pray?

I lit the incense
To create an ambiance -
When the stillness ignites my true sense...
Do I need a reason to pray?

Blessed with good wealth
Gratitude for the life I live -
When I receive His kindness upon my health...
Do I need a reason to pray?

Being well and lively
I stay content with His mercy -
When joyous air fills my family...
Do I need a reason to pray?

 Searching for solace every day
Looking towards the sky, I thank -
And raise my hands to pray...
‘Oh God, You are the most beneficent, the most merciful..!’

Festival Greetings...!

Eid Mubarak...! Happy Diwali...!



As they say Diwali is a season for celebrations and festivity, Sampoorna Lakshmi Pooja pack makes a perfect gift for Diwali - the festival of lights. The pack has small deity idols, 30 pooja essentials and a booklet and audio cd which conveniently guides you through the pooja step by step. Since I don’t practice these ritual poojas, this year I would like to gift Sampoorna Lakshmi Pooja pack to my childhood bestfriend who lives abroad and finding it difficult to do poojas traditionally. I am sure she will be delighted to receive this gift.

And I celebrate this festive season - Eid by gifting Cycle Brand Incense pack
To my Grandma who taught me
The essence of prayer and the value of life.

This post is part of pureprayer.com contest, 'Everyone has a reason to pray..!' 
Organised by Cycle Pure Agarbathies.

May God Showers His Blessings Upon You All...!!!

    I like the Cycle agarbati ads. But I don't pray. I light agarbatis in the toilet. They are good disinfectants.

      yea true that they are disinfectant and of course room freshener.. but i'm sure that the incense companies don't bother where you light it but only if you're buying their product. :P
      may God bless you, Tom :)
