A Reason To Pray

My tiny hands were folded thus

My head bowed down at His feet

My little heart was thanking Him

For my family, friends and the new doll

My father had just gifted me

A few years past and He was still there

From my idol he had become a friend

I would talk to Him and fight with Him

Question Him on a lot of things

Yet every night before I slept

My heart was in prayer still

From daily chants to festive delights

He was there with me through all the tough nights

From exam blues and relationship stress

He guided me as he held my hand.

My hands were folded thus

My head bowed down at His feet

My heart now tough was thanking Him

For the strength to carry on

Everyday I have a reason to pray

To thank him for being with me

Everyday I celebrate

His presence, His love for me

He is my Lord, my angel

My guiding light and my only friend

He is my reason to pray!

Let your prayer be pure, you don't need big reasons to pray, just pray for His presence and His guidance. This Diwali you can perform the Lakshmi Pooja on your own with your family using the Sampoorna Lakshmi Pooja Pack which contains all the essentials you need along with a CD to guide you through the Pooja. I will be using the Lakshmi Pooja pack this Diwali so that I don't have to run from shop to shop to find out all the essentials I need - in fact all basic materials required for the pooja match the requirements as mentioned in the Skanda Purana. There is a booklet (with script written in 6 languages) and audio CD containing the necessary shlokas and Shree Vinayak Ashtottarashata Naamaavali for performing the pooja.
