Yogananda's Peace and Harmony Prayer

Nayaswami Pranaba
November 23, 2016

Let's Join Together:

Visualize our planet in divine light, and pray from your heart.

For one minute, say aloud or silently:

Lord, fill this world with peace and harmony, peace and harmony.

Then visualize yourself in divine light.

For 15 seconds, say aloud or silently:

Lord, fill me with peace and harmony, peace and harmony.

Never, it seems, has there been so much polarization: people divided ever more fanatically along lines of religion, class, and political persuasion. Those of us seeking inner peace must also become instruments of peace in the world and in our relationships. How?

Laws can't control violence, because violence starts in the consciousness of the individual lost in ignorance. Each person's consciousness must change before there is harmony at home, in the workplace, and in the world at large.

Let us join together in a wave of social transformation, and through the practice of prayer and meditation create a spirit of unity and peace on an individual and global level. If, collectively, we act to channel peace and harmony, this will illuminate the earth and drive out the shadows. Please join us. Be a channel of God's Light.

ABOUT PARAMHANSA YOGANANDA

Paramhansa Yogananda, born in 1893, was the first yoga master of India to take up permanent residence in the West. Yogananda arrived in America in 1920, and proceeded to travel throughout the United States on what he called his “spiritual campaigns.” Hundreds of thousands filled the largest halls in major American cities to see the yoga master from India. Yogananda continued to lecture and write up to his passing in 1952.

Paramhansa Yogananda’s initial impact on the western culture was truly impressive. But his lasting spiritual legacy has been even greater. His Autobiography of a Yogi, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution in the West. Translated into more than a dozen languages, it remains a best-selling spiritual classic to this day.
