Prayer for all Mankind


Today, ‘Bhaiya Dhuj’ festival is being celebrated as sisters pray for their brothers' prosperity. After celebrating Diwali (festival of lights) in their own homes and welcoming Goddess Luxmi (Goddess of prosperity), Indian women visit their brothers’ homes. They keep a ‘Vrat’ or religious fasting for their brothers. As part of their prayers they put a ‘Tikka’ of vermilion and rice (rice symbolises prosperity) on the foreheads of their brothers. On this day of ‘Bhaiya Dhuj’ women pray and wish for blessing of prosperity for their brothers’ homes as it was their home too,originally. These festive seasons show the importance of family, importance of prayers, and importance of value of "prosperity to all". And Indian women carry on these prayers along with a ’Vrat’ and with a deep sense of religious fervor. The true meanings are clear in a higher esoteric level.‘Prosperity for all’ means to prosper without any ‘parity’ or divisions; and all humanity consists of men and women who are brothers and sisters, both literally and figuratively. This is true scientifically, as the human genome projects show that all mankind come from one gene pool which had originated in Africa. All should be blessed with plenty of wealth. And industrialisation can bring prosperity for all humanity. Narrow ideologies divide this world constantly making divisions among all people- those have control over resources and those who do not have control over resources.
