How often do you pray to God? - Page 8

As a child my day wouldn't end without reciting "Shumbham karoti kalyanam" shloka in marathi, Hanuman Chalisa and Gayatri Mantra atleast a few times. Even on my way to school, I would recite Hanuman Chalisa 4 to 5 times (not out loud.. lol). It was even engraved in my subconscious mind that at times if I had a bad dream, I would start reciting it while being fast asleep!

With time that routine is lost unknowingly. But every day I always say thanks to God for continuously showering his blessings on me and my loved ones. I believe everything happens for a reason so even if/when I am struggling with something, I ask him to give me the courage and patience to deal with it and if things go beyond my threshold then I ask him to intervene. I always count my blessings but haven't counted the number of times I pray. Though I do feel I should again follow the routine which I had in my childhood.

I tend to avoid people and crowded places so I don't go to temples that often though.

Just as NP and some other member said, my prayer is always "whatever is best for me, bless me with that" but when it comes to my dear ones, along with this line, I shamelessly beg him "help her with this, help her with that" "arre last time bhi toh bola tha, aur kitni der lagegi" 😆

I have had so many miracle sort of experiences where I clealry know that he had helped me. I wonder how many other instances must have gone unnoticed! Whatever I am today is all because of him.

My sister shares a very cute bond with God (BI's post reminds me of that) but sharing that would make my post even longer so I am stopping now! 🤐

Please share it.....I want to read it....This thread is so comforting in its own way...❤️

So, I too wanted to share my bond with God...

Well, I'm a very demanding child of His. 😆 If something goes wrong, for example if power goes off at midnight (borrowing this example from one of the posters here😆) , I start cribbing like an old lady, I look up and start uttering rubbish- yaar, aap aisa kaise kar sakte ho, matlab aadhi raat ko light le li, hum hi miley kya aapko, please de do wagerah 😆😬 if something is not happening as per my whim, I'll start my rona-dhona ...mere hi kyun peeche pade ho yaar and all that 😬 (my mom often tells me, kaise bachhe ho tum log...matlab bas kuch problem aani hi nahi chahiye tumhe, hai na 😒) so...I'm that cranky child of God, bas sab achha chahiye jeevan mei, like bed of roses 😅 and it is not every time of the day I remember Him...but I do take His name often (mostly complaining though) 😆 I can begin with my shikaayaton ka pitaara kabhi bhi, kahin bhi.

And I firmly believe in the power of Lord Hanuman ...not sure since when but my belief is getting stronger as days pass by 💫 2 days back it was raining cats and dogs...so, fir se Hanumanji ka gala pakad liya maine 😆 cuz lightening and thunder scared the daylights out of me. 😥

Slowly, that was so cute! 😆 I literally imagined you doing all that!

My sister's bond with God is pretty similar. I will share it in a while, thanks to BI, now I am tempted to share that too..

Ab bachche apne parents se hi zid/complain karenge na, so chalta hai ye sab 😆 It is rather cute! ❤️

I pray in the morning after waking up and at night before sleeping

Thank you, you find it cute..Charu! 😆 Bhagwaan ji toh pakka kisi din joota utaar ke maarne waale hain mere ko 😆 the way I keep cribbing all the time! I never say to Him jo mere liye best hai wo de do.. mai toh bas maangti hi rehti hu harr waqt unse. 😬😬 Wo dete nahi hai, that's a different story 😒

Edit: Yes, please share your sister's bond with God. I would love to hear. ❣️

If I'm not wrong, you have shared this HanumanJi wali story somewhere else na? Kuch time pehle..... Cuz I am feeling like I have already read that 😅

yes in cc on hanuman janmotsav . We are used to d word hanuman Jayanthi but came to know that we must call it janmotsav , this also I shared in main forum on hanuman janmotsav by giving wishes .

As per Hindu scriptures, Lord Hanuman is believed to be the living deity in the world of Kalyug. Lord Rama gave him the boon of immortality . And he resides on Gandhamadan mountain as the protector of religion in Kalyug. Hence, Lord Hanuman's birthday should be Hanuman Janmotsav.


I like to share another experience . when my mom got heart attack . she had sugar too n her case is complicated . Done angiogram n doc said let’s see on treatment n carried d treatment . Tried to get on medicines but later came need of operation. few docs got scared to treat her . Atlast one doc accepted to do operation . not just stents r angioplasty , they said ve to do bypass surgery n can’t say chances , very risky , they said we do but can’t say d success , very less n anything can happen . it’s very difficult for us to take decision . I asked my mom n she is confident n we went with it . it’s very painful those days , can’t express in words .I wanted to do something to my mom . She done so much for us . She done so much sacrifices n with ill health also she done for us so much . I wanted to do something for her. I asked my mom’s sis I wanted to do Pooja for her . she told it’s tough , can u do it , I said I will try . my mom is adi parashakthi devotee . When pregnant she used to do Lalitha Sahasranamam n now also daily she does . heard tat she chanted adiparashakthi name n gave birth to me . she kept goddess name to me . Mom’s sis told to do Lalitha Sahasranamam daily during the operation phase . I was so much hurt n not in a stage to do anything , I was angry n hurt , mixed all but I sat daily n done n prayed to Adi parashakthi daily , I kept my nerves , blood , tears ,soul everything n kept in hands of adiparashakthi n prayed . came the day of operation . Done operation . My mom is living legend . Eventhough she is operated n in lot of pain , she used to get ready n do prayer n be happy n normal . She even done ragging of jr patients in icu 😆 can u believe it . I admired her how she faces challenges n how she does all these things . Whole hospital, patients , even docs n nurses felt bad too , When my mom got discharged such a positive , happy vibe she is . Doc said to me I am scared to treat ur mom but she is very strong n bold lady n seeing her I got confident n I tried to give my best n treatment n learned a lot from her n I told to all patients to be like her . Bypass failed but she survived . Adi parashakthi saved her .

ignore d typos .


I daily pray to Adi parashakthi 🙏 she saved me from many difficulties in life n it’s continuing …Adi parashakthi bless me forever .

So cute ❤️😆......Everyone has their own relationship with God....its up to u how you see him...I am a Shiv Bhakt....I am naturally attracted to things related to Shiv ji...I want to get a tattoo on the side of my wrist with Om on the top of a Trishul and 3 beads...but I am too scared that it will hurt..😭...and one day I hope to end up like this...

Thats wonderful !! my day wont start without lighting the diyas, pooja and prayers.. it feels so good.. I dont have much time in the evening , but definitely early morning is the best time for me to pray..😊
