Special Message From

Concerning Recent Hurricane in Southern U.S.
August 30, 2005
Dear Ones,
My heart goes out to all of those affected by
the hurricane and flooding in the Gulf coastal areas in the
southern United States. From the time we first learned of the
problems resulting from these elemental forces of nature, I
have been deeply praying in my own meditations for everyone
involved. All the devotees in Gurudeva's ashrams have been doing
the same, asking God to protect and watch over those whose lives
have been disrupted by this storm, and to enfold in His loving
care His children throughout this troubled world. I urge you,
our worldwide spiritual family and friends, to join us in prayer,
not only in connection with this difficult situation but continuously,
seeking God's blessings and visualizing His healing light surrounding
all who need His help, strengthening them in body, mind, and
soul. And whenever we learn of any crisis or special need in
the world, let our immediate response be to unite in turning
our thoughts to Him. This is one of the greatest ways we can
give comfort and support to others.
When the collective thoughts and actions of humanity have created
patterns of inharmony and forgetfulness of God, nature also
reflects that turmoil. But far more than we realize, those patterns
can be mitigated through prayer, and our ongoing efforts to
think and act positively. Guruji reminded us, "Most men consider
the course of events as natural and inevitable. They little
know what radical changes are possible through prayer." Let
us use to the utmost this means of tuning in with Him whose
limitless power upholds the universe, and who cares for the
well-being of each soul. Prayer links our need to His omnipotence
and opens wide the channel for the stabilizing, healing influence
of His divine love to flow into this world.
I encourage you to participate in our Worldwide
Prayer Circle, with full faith that your individual efforts
are playing a vital part in helping to create greater receptivity
to His transforming blessings. As you pray, keep in mind Guruji's
assurance, "There is no limit to the response and the love of
God, if one has faith and loves Him truly." That divine love
is the answer to the heartaches and difficulties in this world.
May you realize that it flows through your every sincere prayer
and each effort you make to express His goodness and compassion.
