(THE ESSENCE OF PRAYER
Children in their formative and most impressionable years can be trained while still young. We can inculcate in them a reverence for our ancient culture, an aspiration to live upto it and a correct understanding of the deeper implications of life. Prayer, it has been found, is the most effective and productive technique of kindling the essential beauty and brilliance inherent in them.
Through prayer, we can try to create in children a selfconfidence to serve, generate in them a true affection in all their relationships, inculcate in them personal discipline and a true spirit of leadership. We can hone their ability to express themselves and to assert their individuality. Moreover, the powers of prayer to weed out psychological fears in children still very young, have been proven over the years.
This book is a humble attempt at trying to create for our growing children a healthier intellectual and physical climate, where they can grow with nobility- both physical and emotional through the elevating medium of PRAYER.
