Ten Rules for Getting Effective Results from Prayers

Dear Chitra,

Day by day iam becoming more spiritual because of your posts. Iam learning lessons from your postings. Your last week and this week postings both are lessons how to get closer to god. To say this thread is the Gurukulam and of course you are the Guru. We are your students learning life lessons from you. You can ask, " what abt “guru dhatchanai” ?" . what we can give as dhatchanai is only our love to you. Please do accept.


love & regards,
surya.

in addition to priyas both points i liked even No 9 very much(in fact that tops the list for me)..... that is one thing noone does..i guess...praying for the welfare of you enemies. I think thats the purest and most cleaninsing of actions and the toughest. Thanks for the post Chitvish, i throughly enjoyed it....

We are certainly blessed to have a person like you...i assure you from today i will make an attempt to follow ALL your points.....

Had to write this week....

Hello dear Mrs.Chithra,

Though I am a bit busy these days, I could'nt resist from writing about this week's post. Its just the right kind of post for me at this point of time/stage.

Before getting married, there were many people around me always, like parents, relatives, friends, but after getting married and coming to US, I started feeling a bit lonely after DH goes to work. So I used to talk to God, tell him my feelings, sometimes be angry with him, etc, etc.....and to tell u the truth, I really used to feel a lot better after that.

Its true that we have some people whom we hate, or would not prefer to talk to.....and I usually gumble about such people who annoy me, to my mother and I remember her saying to me that always wish good for others no matter how they are to u and u will be blessed for good in return. And from your post u reminded me all of that again. Thank you.

And maybe this is God's wish too that we all be reminded of these wonderful steps that can get us close to him, through U......So U maybe God's messenger for us:-D .

Really a good posting. Thank you.

Love and cool regards,
Jay

 

A great guide for our children

Dear Chithra,
this week's post is just ideal to be taught to the children of today. And I would also like to share my thoughts on praying for others.
You all know that my son went throught lots of difficult times. Just when he was born, we did not have any hope that he will survive. One of the hurses who took care of him was a Christian. She asked us to write to the Prayer Towers in Greenways Road (run by Dr. Dinakaran and his son Paul Dinakaran) so that they will ask their members to pray for my son. I wrote to them and received a reply from them saying that they included my son also in their prayers. And I could see the results, he became better. Again in the third month, he nearly died twice. I again wrote to Prayer Towers and they prayed for us. I firmly believe that the prayers of those people who did not know us was instrumental in my son's getting well.
Even two astrologers asked me if I had any miscarriage before he was born, it seems that my first child was not destined to be alive. So I have performed the Mrithunjaya Homam in Shiva temple on my son's star every month for nearly 14 years, for his good health and life.
My family praying for me is not great, but some unknown person praying for me is great. So from then on, I have also made it a point to pray for others, not at all connected with me.
I also talk to God like I do with humans. But I do not sit in prayers. After reading your post, I have made up my mind to follow your suggestions. Chithra, you are so kind and have such a good intention in sharing all these wonderful thoughts and experience with all of us. We cannot thank you enough for this. We all value your expereince and suggestions very much. Actually, you are a web guru to all of us. Like Ekalayvan, we are all learning from you many things. You are giving us the juice of what you have learned all these years, easy for us to digest the juice and need not bother about the chakkai.I do not know what else to say.
With warm wishes,
varloo

 

Well done

Dear Shal,
you have done a good job. People who have gone thro so much can very well realise the value of life and other small things also. They appreciate even the smallest favours God gives them. We can appreciate a sweet dish better when we partake a bitter or spicy dish before that. If we eat only sweets, we tend to lost appetite for that. So God is making us taste the bitter one first and then gives us sweet, doesn't he?
Keep the good spirit up always.
With warm wishes,
varloo
