As students of the sacred way, We gather together in a prayer for humanity. For the great existence and the great non-existence. The music we sing serves not as entertainment, But offers a key to unlock the doors of the heart. The words and poems echoed from the heart of love Is the language of the universe. Our religion abides in the wisdom of the inner temples we discover, as sojourners and pilgrims On the path of Love. May we be uplifted with feathers to soar about the wings Of our ancestors and the ancients Who have paved this way for us to be here. May we receive the blessings due to the soul Who has the courage and discipline to dance on this road. Come be with us Great One, We call in the Force. Come Sing into our Spirit your endless song Of the beauty of the stars And the wonder of the Great Mystery That is here with us Now. 5 Prayer Of Sound (Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj) As the Sound is major source of manifestation, it is a mystery in the same time; and who has the knowledge of the sound knows the secret of the Universe. My music is my thoughts and my thoughts are my feelings. The more I immerse into the ocean of my feelings, the more beautiful are the pearls that I carry within me as tone and melody. My music is my religion and thus the success of the world can never be a just price for it: my only aim is to reach perfection. The music that I carry within me does not serve for entertainment but is a call for harmony, which unifies our souls with God. Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled as to console, To be understood as to understand, To be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life. Attributed to Francis Bernadone, perhaps the most universally loved of Christian saints, who was born in Assisi, Italy, in 1181.. At the age of twenty-two, after a sudden illness that brought him almost to the point of death, he left home and inheritance to follow an injunction that he felt he received from Christ himself: "Francis, go and rebuild my Church." Three great Franciscan orders grew around the monks, nuns, and lay disciples who responded to his joyful example of universal love and selfless service. The Path (Mahamtma Ghandi) I know the path: it is strait and narrow. It is like the edge of a sword. I rejoice to walk on it. I weep when I slip. God's word is: “He who strives never perishes.” I have implicit faith in that promise. Though, therefore, from my weakness I fail a thousand times, I shall not lose faith. Mohandas K. Gandhi – universally known as Mahatma Gandhi; the title means “great soul” – was born in British India in 1869 and died in January 1948, after having led his country to freedom through a nonviolent struggle based on love and selfless service. This passage is from a collection of his writings entitled My Religion (Ahmedabad, India: Navajivan, 1955). Aho Mitakuye Oyasin To the Creator, for the ultimate gift of life, I thank you. To the mineral nation that has built and maintained my bones a nd all foundations of life experience, I thank you. To the plant nation that sustains my organs and body and gives me healing herbs for sickness, I thank you. To the animal nation that offers loyal companionship in this walk of life, I thank you. To the human nation that shares my path as a soul upon the sacred wheel of Earthly life, I thank you. To the Spirit nation that guides me invisibly through the ups and downs of life and for carrying the torch of light through the Ages. I thank you. To the Four Winds of Change and Growth, I thank you. You are all my relations, my relatives, without whom I would not live. We are in the circle of life together, co-existing, co-dependent, co-creating our destiny. One, not more important than the other. One nation evolving from the other and yet each dependent upon the one above and the one below. All of us a part of the Great Mystery. Thank you for this Life. Aho Mitakuye Oyasin is a simple yet profound statement. It comes from the Lakota Nation and means ‘all my relations’. It is spoken during prayer and ceremony to invite and acknowledge all relatives to the moment and know that all is related. AHO! Serenity Prayer (1st part) God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference. 9 Earth Healing To the four powers of Creation, To the Grandfather Sun, to the Grandmother Moon, To the Mother Earth and to my ancestors. I pray for my relations in Nature, All those who walk, crawl, fly, and swim, seen and unseen, To the good spirits that exist in every part of Creation. I ask that you bless our elders, children, families and friends, I pray for the ones who are sick and in self-abuse And for those homeless and forlorn. I also pray for peace among the four races of humankind. May there be good health and healing for this Earth, May there be Beauty above me, may there be Beauty below me, May there be Beauty in me, may there be Beauty around me. I ask that this world be filled with Peace, Love and Beauty. The Song of the Sylvapolitan I am the earth I am, I am the opening heart I am, I am the sky I am, I am the endless expanse of awareness I am, I am the starlight of eternity I am, I am the moonlight of presence I am, I am the sunshine of life I am. I am the thunder of being I am, I am the lightening of passions I am, I am the rainfall of tears I am, I am the winds of forgiveness, I am, I am the sparkling morning dew of laughter I am, I am the clouds of life passing I am, I am the rainbow of memories and futures to come I am. I am caves I am, I am deep deep sleep I am, I am luminous fish in dark pools I am, I am dreams of remembrance I am, I am crystals I am, I am life awakening to myself I am. I am rivers I am, I am the running pulse of procreation I am, I am waterfalls I am, I am orgasmic joy I am. I am fields and forests I am. I am fertility, nourishment, and growth I am, I am deserts and arid lands I am, I am patience and the burning will of perseverence I am. I am rocky shores I am, I am life in transition I am, I am hurricanes I am, I am trust and surrender I am, I am strong ocean currents I am, I am life in the flow I am. My tribe is creation, The earth is my clan, All that exist here are my people, I am the flowering of forever, I am In the garden of the Divine family of creation. 10 Mayan Prayer May the Heart of the Earth flow to the Heart of the Heavens through my Heart and May our Hearts together be the Heart of all Sentient Beings. May the Heart of Father Sky flow to the Heart of Mother Earth through my Heart and may our Hearts together be the Heart of all Earth Kind. A Sioux Indian Prayer My Grandfather is the Fire, My Grandmother is the Wind The Earth is my Mother, The Great Spirit is my Father The World stopped at my birth and laid itself at my feet. And I shall swallow the Earth whole when I die, And the Earth and I will be one. Hail The Great Spirit, my Father, without him no one could exist because there would be no will to live. Hail The Earth, my Mother, without which no food could be grown and so cause the will to live to starve. Hail the wind, my Grandmother, for she brings loving, life-giving rain nourishing us as she nourishes our crops. Hail the fire, my Grandfather, for the light, the warmth, the comfort he brings without which we be animals, not men. Hail my parent and grandparents without which, not I, nor you, nor anyone else could have existed.
