Padavali Prayers

Download or read book Padavali Prayers written by Vivekananda Kendra and published by Vivekananda Kendra. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the various camps that are conducted by Vivekananda Kendra, participants come from different parts of the country. During the camps there are morning and evening prayers and also songs before and at the end of various sessions. All these prayers are given in “Padavali” - the booklet of songs and prayers brought out by Vivekananda Kendra. Participants ask for the meanings of these prayers. Sometimes it is possible to explain the meanings of the prayers during the shibirs but some time it is not possible. Therefore it was felt that a booklet which gives word to word meaning as well as short explanation should be brought out. Thus this book “Padavali Prayers with meanings” is being brought out. Our prayers from Padavali which are mainly taken from the Vedic literature are not just for asking something from Ishwara but are for moulding oneself on the vision of Oneness. The Sadhak sings these prayers for developing the right mind and attitude so as to be able to see everything as Ishwara and contribute in Ishwara’s work. Thus if the chanting of prayers is accompanied with deep contemplation on the meaning then it could be very elevating. We hope this small booklet would be useful not only for the participants coming for the various camps of Vivekananda Kendra but also for other aspirants too.
