Prayer and Mantrajapa SIGNIFICANCE OF PRAYING The place of prayer in Sadhana : The efficacy of prayer has been universally accepted by all religions and even by the psychologists . It creates the power of faith and helps in achieving the objective . Naturally for the spiritual objective , prayer becomes all the more useful . A prayer offered with proper attitude gives peace of mind and leads the aspirant quickly to the goal of Samadhi. A collective prayer : A collective prayer has its own advantages as well as disadvantages . If such a prayer is offered with full accord of mind , the total power vastly increases and each one gets the advantage of the total power . On the contrary , if the participants have discordant minds , the power gets thwarted and disturbed . It is , therefore , absolutely essential that each one should properly understand the meaning of the prayer and try to establish contact with the Supreme Divine Power while offering the prayer .
