Prayer

Prayer means requesting for co-operation to accomplish a given need, want, goal or objective.

Prayer consists of:

     1.   Person who is Praying

It can be any human being

     2.   Future Need, Want, Goal or Objective

It can be general or specific, spiritual or non-spiritual. It is always for future.

3.   Request for co-operation

This is the key. We are only requesting for co-operation

4.   To Whom  

•  Outer World: It means your network of people whom you are connected. 

• Deity/Guru: It means any Deity / Guru/ God you trust. E.g. Ganapati (Deity) / Jesus (Guru).

• Existence: We cannot define Existence.

5.   Gratitude

Express gratitude to whom you are praying, irrespective of the end results. 

Key Points:

• Gratitude is a part of Prayer. Most people often assume that both of them are same.
• Prayer is not begging, it is Courage.
• Difference between Traditional Prayer and Right Prayer

Traditional Prayer	Right Prayer
The Person who is praying expects  results without any effort.	The Person who is praying request only for co-operation.
The main responsibility is of "WHOM" we are asking. E.g. Deity or Guru.	The main responsibility is of the person who is praying
