We begin on Page 40 of our song book, "Let there be peace on earth."
Welcome to AllFaith.com and Beit Emunah's Omnist Community Worship! This is a community service for all people of the Light. We invite your participation and contributions. Let us know if you would like to share a spiritual song or poem.
On page 07 in our songbook, we offer the Hebrew blessing "Shalom Aleichem" to each of you and to all those who dedicate their energies to peace and well-being. Peace to all the earth, to every nation, race, and creed. We wish peace to all beings.
As an Omnist community, we recognize the Hand of the Divine all around us. The Holy One meets us where we are and leads us Homeward according to our individual marga or path. The Path to One God comprises myriad Divine Rays of Light. We, therefore, honor all paths while remaining true to our inner knowing.
The universe is enlightened through myriad individual rays of Divine Love. The religions of Light are divine conduits bringing direction to all people according to their needs. Understand that the religions were never intended to be the goal. As Omnists, we seek to transcend human religion and reach the Beloved in harmony.
Remember:Buddha was not a Buddhist,
Moses was not a Jew,
Yeshua was not a Christian.
One God Alone is our Source and our Destination.Page 43 One God is the Author of Divine Creation.
Page 39 in our songbook. Let us imagine the world as we desire it to be. Let us see the world as it truly is, filled with so many daily miricles and wonderful people. Let us focus on the good rather than the evil, the peace that exists, rather the strife, the positive instead of the negative. This truly is a Wonderful World!
Let us center our minds and look within. One of the oldest methods of doing this comes from the Rig Vedas, the Gayatri Matra, on page 32 of our songbook. The word Gayatri is Sanskrit and consists of two syllables:
Gaa: To sing or recite,
And
Yatree, a request for protection.The "Gayatri" mantra leads us within and asks One God for divine protection and guidance. Before chanting it, let us all relax in a comfortable position and breathe in God’s love and divine life. Breathe from your diaphragm, from your gut, and hold the wind of God for a moment. Feel your lungs filling and holding that breath in this moment and place. That breath is a gift to you from One God. And then exhale any stresses and negativities that come to mind. If you are hurting physically or emotionally, breath that negativity out, gently releasing it. Allow your mind to hold peace, light, and joy and release everything else through your outgoing breath. Breathe in deeply through your nose, without forcing it, and outward through your mouth. In and out, the wind of God flows like the ocean's tide, rhythmic and sure. Allow yourself to experience the love and well-being God desires for you through the gift of breath. Draw God's blessings into your core. Then breathe out all fears, stresses, and negativities, knowing that you are beloved of God, a cherish son or daughter of the Creator. Grant a place within your mind and heart for only love and peace.
And now, in this peaceful state, we call out to One God for guidance and ever more Light and protection from all negativities:
The Gayatri means:
Oh One God!
You are the Giver of all Life,
You are the Remover of all pain and sorrow,
You are the Bestower of all happiness,
Oh One God!
You are the Creator of the Universes!
May we all receive Your divine ignorance-destroying Light of Truth,
May You guide our intellects in the right pathways.In Sanskrit the mantra is:
om bhür bhuvah svaha
tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dhîmahi
dhiyo yo nah pracodayätThe Gayatri Mantra
May there be peace and well-being to all entities.
Know that the power of prayer is great! The secret to successful prayers is making sure the blessings we seek are in harmony with the Will of One God.
