So here’s the musical prayer appeal that we’ll be sharing tomorrow…
Dear friends,
Our hearts are breaking to see the devastation that California is enduring at this time. And it’s compounded by our awareness of so many other crises piling up, one on top of the other. It would be easy to give in to despair, to feel helpless in the face of so much destruction and negativity. But we feel called to do what we can!
That means praying, of course, and we hope to join with many others around the world in praying intensely for mitigation of these fires and healing of our planet. But something else we can do is to spread peace through music: namely, the soothing, healing vibration of Swami Kriyananda singing Peace — one of his most beautiful, powerful, and beloved songs.
We plan to share the video of this song with our Ananda Music mailing list; with all our Ananda singers, chanters, and musicians around the globe; and with our Ananda Sangha Worldwide.
We will also ask everyone who listens to this song and feels more calm and peaceful as a result to please share it with 5-10 of their friends…asking those friends to then share it as well. It is our belief that the healing vibration of this song can help to calm the winds and cool the flames, within ourselves and in our external environment.
We hope you’ll join us.
In divine peace,
Bhagavati & Ramesha
PEACE by Swami Kriyananda
Peace gave us the mountains.
Peace gave us the sky.
Nightly, when starlight enfolds us,
Peace is its lullaby.
Amen. Amen.
Peace gave us the morning.
Peace gave us the sun.
Bird songs that call us to welcome
Day, and fresh labors begun.
Amen. Amen.
Peace gave us the seasons.
Peace gave us the rain—
Cool clouds that gather to bless us,
Mist hands that soothe away pain.
Amen. Amen.
Peace gave us our hearts’ love.
Peace gave us our smiles:
Rays of God’s presence within us.
Light that all strife reconciles.
Amen. Amen.
So nice! 🙏
