The real importance and the miraculous effects of prayer comes to light through all the five parts of “What is prayer”. PRACTICE OF AVESTA MANTHRAS should form a daily routine of our lives, without trying to waste time in knowing and debating the meaning of each and every word.

Through my personal experience, I can say that the practice of Manthravani has brought CONTENTMENT in my life which is the source of true happiness. I thank Pak Dadar Ahura Mazda for each and every thing in my life. One very important lesson to be learnt from the article is that: we should make the practice of Manthravani an integral part of our lives and not just pray for selfish reasons such before exams and interviews.

In today’s busy and modern times, one should try to find time to pray, where there is a will, there is a way. We spend most of our times working like a machine, watching TV and doing other useless things, why not spend time in Praying selflessly.

My sincere thanks to Respected Ervad Saheb !

It has indeed been an Invigorating and uplifting experience of reading the article “What is prayer part 1- part 5”.

It brings tears of joy as I have experienced the benefits of prayer just as you have mentioned. Feels blessed and humble to learn that Pak Dadar Ahura Mazda is always with us.
Yet like everyone I too have a long long way to go, but there has always been a question on my mind to which I haven’t found an answer.

That question is “What should our minimum daily prayers be? Gradually what more should we include in our daily prayers.”
It is a very subjective question for layman like us. Some say we must pray all the Gahs’ and Nyaeshes and more and more and yet some say pray little but pray with heart & mind and yet it doesn’t answer my query.

I am sure Ervard Saheb will have a definitive answer to this and will guide us on it. Look forward to your guidance.
