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
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...!
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.
To my Grandma
who taught me
The essence
of prayer and the value of life.

Deletethanks a lot Anita.. :)
I like the Cycle agarbati ads. But I don't pray. I light agarbatis in the toilet. They are good disinfectants.
ReplyDeleteyea 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
Deletemay God bless you, Tom :)
A very nice read! :D And All the best for the contest!
