Purpose of Prayer

by Swami Dayananda Saraswati

One has to be at the right place at the right time to achieve anything significant. One cannot will it to happen, but one can always pray to make it happen. Thus, free will finds its total expression in prayer. That one can pray is itself a blessing and how one prays makes prayer meaningful to one - Swami Dayananda.

About the Author:

Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati likes to call himself a traditional teacher of Vedanta, a link in a long unbroken tradition, from Adi Shankara to the present day. Rooted in the richness of tradition, yet contemporary in his thinking and approach, he continuously edits his teaching style to ensure that the vision of Vedanta is communicated with clarity. Impeccable logic, brilliant analysis, erudition, precise use of language, together with a child like humour, make him the greatest living master of Advaita Vedanta. There is none to match his ability to make the audience see as clearly as he does.
