Meaning of <strong>Sangh</strong> Prarthana<br />

‘Prarthanaa’ means prayer. In <strong>Sangh</strong>, we sing Prarthanaa at the end of<br />

every Shakha. It is a collective vow. Prarthana sheds light on the following<br />

questions.<br />

1. Whom are we praying to?<br />

2. Who are “we”?<br />

3. What qualities are we praying <strong>for</strong>?<br />

4. What is our collective vision, mission ?<br />

5. What is our means to realize that vision ?<br />

6. Firm conviction that this is divine mission - God’s work<br />

This topic is to be covered in two weeks. In each week, practice how to<br />

sing and then explain the meaning of Prarthana.<br />

Whom are we praying to?<br />

Sarva Mangala Maangalyaam<br />

Deveem Sarvaartha Saadhikaam<br />

Sharanyaam Sarva Bhootanaam<br />

Namaamo Bhoomi Mataram (1)<br />

Sachchidaanada Roopaaya<br />

Vishwa Mangala Hetave<br />

Vishwa Dharmaika Moolaaya<br />

Namostu Paramaatmane (2)<br />

First two stanzas provide answer to this question. First, we are offering our<br />

salutations to Mother Earth. Mother Earth is described as the auspiciousness<br />

of all that is auspicious, fulfiller of all our needs and the refuge of all the beings.<br />
