Prayer is considered a powerful manifestation tool; accompanied with sincere faith, proper knowledge, awareness, practice and intent, the results can be favourable and magical. On World Day of Prayer, various &TV artists, Santoshi Maa - Gracy Singh, Swati - Tanvi Dogra and Indresh – Ashish Kadian from Santoshi Maa Sunaye Vrat Kathayein; Mary – Sonali Nikam and Joseph – Aarya Dharamchand Kumar from Yeshu, Manmohan Tiwari - Rohitashv Gour from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai; Rajesh Singh – Kamna Pathak from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan and Gudiya – Sarika Bahroliya from Gudiya Humari Sabhi Pe Bhari talk about the power of prayers in their everyday lives. Gracy Singh, aka Santoshi Maa, shares, “I am a spiritual being. My faith lies in meditation for peace and hope for the world. Being a part of the Brahma Kumari community, I have a lifestyle that helps me achieve greater control over my physical senses. My belief system is simple, wherein I believe the intentions must be pure for the prayer to succeed. On World Day of Prayer, I pray for everyone’s good health and peace”. Tanvi Dogra, aka Swati, shares, “The power of praying is energetic and magical. The practise helps one to become calm, composed and peaceful. It brings in focus, clarity and helps remove negative thoughts. I always pray before leaving my house every day. It is part of my daily practice.” Ashish Kadian, aka Indresh, shares, “My faith has always been an ambiguous one. Quite some time back, I survived a deadly accident with absolutely no injuries. I was in utter shock and could not digest the fact that I came out alive. It was a miracle of sorts, and I believe God answered my mom’s prayers and blessed me. It changed my perspective a lot.” Sonali Nikam, aka Mary, shares, “True prayer is neither a mental exercise nor a vocal chant. It is far more profound than that, a spiritual transaction. Prayer is a potent manifestation tool. One resorts to prayer when one desperately needs a miracle and hope that source will hear and respond. Prayer is a powerful energy tool to be used with clarity, intention, and faith. Praying to me is very calming and soulful that radiates positive energy.” Aarya Dharamchand Kumar, aka Joseph, shares, “A thoughtful prayer is a prayer in action. On World Day of Prayer, I pray for peace and happiness in the world. Prayer, for others, is a prayer for oneself. Be kind and compassionate, and bless everyone.” Rohitashv Gour, aka Manmohan Tiwari, shares, “My parents have inculcated a strong faith and belief system in me. Visiting temples with my parents and family have been a regular affair. My day is incomplete without prayers. Prayer is about making your wish known and expressing gratitude. It helps me stay grounded, feel protected and brings a sense of calmness, hope and positivity.” Kamna Pathak, aka Dabangg Rajesh, shares, “For me, intentions play a crucial role in praying. Our intent manifests our desires. It is vital to have good intentions to manifest all things good. What we give is what we receive. So let us spread more love, happiness, peace, kindness and goodness to everyone.” Manmohan Tiwari, aka Pappu, shares, “Vishwas Hai Toh Sab Hai. Our belief is what drives us and guides us to live life. Prayers are our vital medium to manifest our wishes and desires. Prayers are also about being grateful and counting our blessings. If our belief is there, the intent is good, and with practice, we find ways to deal with the most challenging situations. On World Day of Prayer, I pray for everyone’s happiness, prosperity, good health and peace.”
