I dont think to pray God...Need any spl mantra or thandra's.....😊I believe egolessness is a state of prayer...It has nothing to do with words... it is wordless silence....and I believe  if you pray to ask for something, it is not prayer. When you pray to thank him for something, only then is it prayer... Prayer is always a thanksgiving...If you ask for something then the prayer is still corrupted by desire...!😊

My favorite is the 'Gayatri mantra'....whenever I feel a little down I chant it quietly..

no this is not about Guru Govind Singh ji.........here in this doha guru means teacher and Govind means God.....the doha says that if both God and my teacher are standing before me..whose feet should I touch first and then it goes on to say...that I will touch my Guru's feet first because he is the one who told me who God is..........isin't it beautiful?

Lead me from the asat to the sat.
Lead me from darkness to light.
Lead me from death to immortality.

(Brhadaranyaka Upanishad ' I.iii.28)

This is true prayer'the seeker's admission of his sense of limitedness and his heartfelt cry for assistance in transcendence. It is not a prayer for the things of the world. It is not a pray for food, shelter, health, partnership, riches, success, fame, glory or even for heaven1. One who recites these three mantras has realized that such things are full of holes, soaked in pain and, even in abundance, will forever leave him wanting. It is in this full understanding that one turns to this prayer. The essence of each of these three mantras is the same: "O, Guru, help me free myself from my sundry misunderstandings regarding myself, the universe and God and bless me with true knowledge."

I do not believe in suffering. If things are no good I will just ask God to help. -- its depend on person to person belief, I just express my view n thoughts n doubts😊

I am not trying to be a hero either.-- Hero! i dont know how it posible?

sometimes He prefers not to listen to me, but at least I feel that I have asked Him.😊 

some people believe that we shuld not disturb God about minor problems. They are not wrong either.-- actuly we cannt choose God, it is God who chooses us,God knows it automaticly..

 

some think that God's name should not be said out loud or to anyone, they keep everything in their heart. -- ya its a type of inner voice...

Note :

The famous companion of the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), Hazrat Ka'ab bin Ujrah (radi Allahu anhu), narrates that once it was enquired from Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) as to how blessings should be sent to him. The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) replied that the blessings be said in the manner (it has been mentioned) above, that is, Durood-e-Ibrahimi.
