Valentine’s Day Meditation and Prayers
Saint Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14. It is the day of expressing love and affection. On this day, near
and dear ones usually express their love for one
another by presenting flowers, candies,
sweets, and sending greeting
cards. Valentine's Day is symbolized by the shape of a heart,
red roses, red color, doves, and winged Cupid. This brings to mind a profound saying:
True love begins when nothing
is looked for in return - Antoine De Saint-Exupery
Let us extend our
love to everyone in the world through meditation and prayers.
1. Let
us sit quietly,
close our eyes gently, and focus our
mind on the center of our heart. Feel the unconditional and selfless love (as
mother has for her child) flowing from your heart, and is continuously
expanding.
2.
Now,
send your unconditional and selfless love to your parents, spouse, children,
siblings, friends, relatives, neighbors and anyone who has come into your life.
3. Send
your unconditional and selfless love to Mother Earth, and all the living
beings, the plants, the mountains, the rivers, the oceans, and the entire world.
4. Let
us pray to the Almighty, “O Lord, please grant Everlasting
Love, Peace and Happiness to all our family members,
friends, and everyone in the world. Let
there be feelings of compassion among all human being. Please make me Your messenger
in spreading Your unconditional and selfless love to the entire world.”
Attaining and spreading
the love, peace and happiness to others is the very purpose of our life.
In the Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna says:
No other service is dearest to
me than this; nor will there be anyone on the earth dearer to Me than he.
(Gita.18.69)
May
the Almighty fill your Valentine’s Day and every day with Everlasting Love, Peace, and Happiness -- Anandam.
“Happy Valentine’s Day
to you and your loved ones”
