“Pray for the peace and welfare of one and all in this world.” Mata Amritanandamayi Devi
An Invitation: Join Us For FOCUS: PEACE… Mata Amritanandamayi Devi
Who is Amma and what did she say?
Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, affectionately called Amma, is also known as the Hugging Saint as she personally hugs and consoles millions of people, while serving hundreds of thousands in need through her many charitable organizations.
At a recent retreat in Michigan, Amma shared this message with a sense of great urgency.
Amma said that Mother Nature is very agitated at the moment and that there is a lot of turbulence in our hearts and our minds. We need to cool down the atmosphere she said. She asked for each of us to meditate on peace for just 5 minutes twice a day. Once a day is fine too, she said. She asked us to repeat a mantra for peace that resonates deep within us for 5 minutes, then radiate the peace from our hearts onto our communities and our beautiful planet.
Amma said. “Please pray for world leaders to have patience and use their words carefully. With world leaders, one angry word can lead to a war. Please make a very firm resolve: ‘I will not say anything hurtful or negative to anyone’… and think carefully many times before even uttering a word. There is a great deal of negative vibrations in the atmosphere and we shouldn’t use negative speech at this time, especially, and even towards our enemies. Pray that everyone has the power of will, to be patient, compassionate and loving.”
What are Peace Mantras?
Peace mantras are powerful invocations for harmony and blessings for all of creation. A mantra is a sound or group of words that is considered capable of creating transformation inside us and in the outer world. By vocalizing peace mantras we embody the existence of peace. Some powerful Peace Mantras are below or feel free to use another one that resonates within you. These mantras are repeated a minimum of 3 times, asking for peace in nature, peace in the world, and peace in our minds. The intention is to have peace in the world, and as we are part and one with the world, this peace will benefit us as well. The focus however is on the collective.

How your meditation changes the world
In an experiment in 1993, four thousand meditators gathered in Washington DC for 7 consecutive weeks and meditated together twice a day. By the time the experiment ended, the crime rate went down by 23.6%. Similar experiments have been done in other cities, leading to similar results. Additional studies have also been done which demonstrated that patients who were prayed for recovered faster and more completely than those who were not supported by prayer. As we lead up to December 21, 2012, a date many believe to be a pivotal moment in our human history, what each one of us does, or more importantly, what each one of us embodies, makes a huge difference in the future of our beautiful planet.
Join us. Let’s bring peace into focus.
You can sign up/register by clicking here: FOCUS: PEACE It is FREE. If you cannot be on the calls, you can listen to the recordings later at your own convenience. All you have to do is sign up and you will be updated with all of the access information.
You make a difference. Your participation is required here. Together our impact can change the world.
