[Smt. Priyanka asked: Paadanamaskaaram Swami, just like You have given us a daily prayer recently, can You give us a prayer of gratitude, which even children can recite at night every day before going to bed? At Your divine lotus feet, Priyanka]
Swami replied:-
O God! This is my gratefulness-prayer to You for giving me a human birth, even though my file of deeds recommended the birth of an animal.
O God! This is my gratefulness-prayer to You for giving longevity to me in spite of several diseases attacking several human beings leading them to death.
O God! This is my gratefulness-prayer to You for not giving me poverty by which several people are starving to death.
O God! This is my gratefulness-prayer to You for making me the theist without becoming atheist due to the influence of science and atheism.
O God! This is my gratefulness-prayer to You for giving me proper education in Pravrutti to earn livelihood for me and my family members so that I can lead this worldly life without any tension.
O God! This is my gratefulness-prayer to You for giving me true and complete spiritual knowledge and devotion that is theoretical and practical so that I can become very close to You, which is called Saayujyam.
