YUVA BHARATI DECEMBER 2006 PRARTHANA (Thoughts on Prayer) he Kendra Prayer is the soul force behind every Kendra worker. It is chanted every day as a part of Sadhana with total surrender and Tdedication. The Divine inspiration and the spiritual energy that emanates from the prayer enable and equip the worker to carry on the allotted work all through his life without the least expectation of any reward in any form whatsoever. It is this cumulative strength of collective prayer that sustains the purity, ability and strength of the organisation.
