Thousands of friends from around the world are chanting the Gayatri mantra 21 times, every night at 9 PM local time, for 9 days, to bring some peace and healing to Mumbai's victims and their loved ones, after the most recent horrific attacks. We started from Nov 26th, and will continue until Dec 4th. Please join us if you can.
I feel deep horror and anger. Imagine the helpless terror and panic when someone in a crowded train station or hotel simply pulls out a big gun and shoots around indiscriminately. Imagine precious lives being snuffed out in a minute, just like that, wasted, with no explanation or meaning or redemption for the loss. Imagine the frustration of knowing that the country's leaders will do nothing more than "condemn" the attacks. Imagine the despair in knowing that another attack is inevitable, only a few days or months away, and nobody can or will do anything prevent it.
Yeah, that's a LOT of anger and frustration. I am glad I can channel my emotions out in more spiritual and healing ways by joining this prayer. Please, wherever you are, join us in chanting the sacred Gayatri 21 times at 2100 hours, YOUR local time, until Dec 4th. Spread the word.
Gayatri mantra
ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः ।
तत् सवितुर्वरेण्यं ।
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि ।
धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥
om bhūr bhuvah svah
tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo nah pracodayāt
