    Peace and Love on Earth



    "Imagine" by John Lennon

    Imagine there's no Heaven, It's easy if you try
    No hell below us , Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people, Living for today

    Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too
    Imagine all the people Living life in peace

    You may say that I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us and the world will be as one

    Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger , a brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people, sharing all the world

    You may say that I'm a dreamer , but I'm not the only one

    I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one



    "Baha'i Prayer for Peace"

    Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity.
    Be fair in thy judgment, and guarded in thy speech.
    Be a lamp unto those who walk in darkness and a home to the stranger.
    Be eyes to the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring.
    Be a breath of life to the body of humankind, dew to the soil of the human heart,
    and a fruit upon the tree of humility.



    "Buddhist Prayer for Peace"

    May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind
    quickly be freed from their illnesses.
    May those frightened cease to be afraid, and may those bound be free.
    May the powerless find power, and may people think of befriending one another.
    May those who find themselves in trackless, fearful wildernesses
    the children, the aged, the unprotected---
    be guarded by beneficent celestials,
    and may they swiftly attain Buddha hood.



    "Hindu Prayers for Peace"

    Oh God, lead us from the unreal to the Real.
    Oh God, lead us from darkness to light.
    Oh God, lead us from death to immortality.

    OM. Let all of us protect each other together, may all of us enjoy together, may all of us work together, and let our study become radiant. Let there be no hatred between us. OM Peace, Peace, Peace.



    Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

    Lord, make me an instrument of your 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;
    and 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,
    and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
    "Christian Prayer for Peace"

    Blessed are the Peacemakers,
    for they shall be known as the Children of God.
    But I say to you that hear, love your enemies,
    do good to those who hate you,
    bless those who curse you,
    pray for those who abuse you.
    To those who strike you on the cheek, offer the other also,
    and from those who take away your cloak,
    do not withhold your coat as well.
    Give to everyone who begs from you,
    and of those who take away your goods, do not ask them again.
    And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.



    "Jewish Prayer for Peace"

    Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, that we may walk the paths of the Most High.
    And we shall beat our swords into ploughshares, and our spears into pruning hooks.
    Nation shall not lift up sword against nation
    neither shall they learn war any more.
    And none shall be afraid, for the mouth of the Lord of Hosts has spoken.



    "Muslim Prayer for Peace"

    In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful.
    Praise be to the Lord of the Universe who has created us and made us into tribes and nations, that we may know each other, not that we may despise each other.
    If the enemy incline towards peace, do thou also incline towards peace, and trust in God, for the Lord is the one that heareth and knoweth all things.
    And the servants of God, Most Gracious are those who walk on the Earth in humility, and when we address them, we say "PEACE."



    "Native American Prayer for Peace"

    O Great Spirit of our Ancestors, I raise my pipe to you.
    To your messengers the four winds,
    and to Mother Earth who provides for your children.
    Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love, to respect,
    and to be kind to each other so that they may grow with peace in mind.
    Let us learn to share all the good things you provide for us on this Earth.



    "Shinto Prayer for Peace"

    Although the people living across the ocean surrounding us,
    I believe, are all our brothers and sisters,
    why are there constant troubles in this world?
    Why do winds and waves rise in the ocean surrounding us?
    I only earnestly wish that the wind will soon puff away
    all the clouds which are hanging over the tops of the mountains.



    "Sikh Prayers for Peace"

    God adjudges us according to our deeds, not the coat that we wear:
    that Truth is above everything, but higher still is truthful living.
    Know that we attaineth God when we loveth,
    and only that victory endures in consequence of which no one is defeated.



    "Sufi Prayer for Peace"

    O Almighty Sun, whose light clears away all clouds,
    We take refuge in you. Guide of all people, God of all deities, Lord of all angels,
    We pray you to dispel the mists of illusion from the hearts of the nations
    And lift their lives by your all-sufficient power,
    Your ever shining light, your everlasting life,
    Your heavenly joy and your perfect peace.



    "Zoroastrian Prayer for Peace"

    We pray to God to eradicate all the misery in the world:
    that understanding triumph over ignorance,
    that generosity triumph over indifference,
    that trust triumph over contempt,
    and that truth triumph over falsehood.

    May all things be a source of peace to us.
    And may thy peace itself, bestow peace on all,
    and may that peace come to me also.



    "Gandhis Prayer for Peace"

    I offer you peace

    I offer you Love

    I offer you friendship

    I see your beauty

    I hear your need

    I feel your feelings

    My wisdom flows from the Highest Source

    I salute that Source in You

    Let us work together for Unity and Love



    "Swami Sivananda"

    Love, Serve & Give




    Lord, Incomprehensible Reality,
    Teach us Always More
    Give us more Light
    Dispel our Ignorance
    Illumine our Minds
    Transfigure our Hearts
    And give us the Love that never runs dry, and makes
    thy sweet law flower in every being
    We are thine for all Eternity

    Mirra of Pondicherry - The Divine Mother
