Soul Awakening Practice presents reflections that will assist you to further develop or continue in your prayer practice. With this prayerful cleaning of our heart, it is possible for us to receive the true gift--peace. When we are in pieces, that's what we share with the world but when we are in peace, we manifest peace, we exude peace and we spread peace. --H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji The need for cooperation and partnership as opposed to domination and dominion is becoming more and more evident in these threshold times. Many are calling for peace in our times and James O'Dea makes the case that peace calls for dynamic engagement.
