Prayer for a United World
By Paramahansa Yogananda
May the heads of all countries and races be guided to understand that men of all nations are physically and spiritually one: physically one, because we are the descendants of common parents — the symbolic Adam and Eve; and spiritually one, because we are the immortal children of our Father, bound by eternal links of brotherhood.
Let us pray in our hearts for a League of Souls and a United World. Though we may seem divided by race, creed, color, class, and political prejudices, still, as children of the one God we are able in our souls to feel brotherhood and world unity. May we work for the creation of a United World in which every nation will be a useful part, guided by God through man’s enlightened conscience.
In our hearts we can all learn to be free from hate and selfishness. Let us pray for harmony among the nations, that they march hand in hand through the gate of a fair new civilization.

Prayer for others is one of the highest services we can offer to the world. We invite you to join in spirit the monks and nuns of Self-Realization Fellowship on Wednesday, September 11 at the noon hour (Pacific Daylight Time) as we pray for world peace and for all those who have been affected by the tragedy of 9/11. Even if you could only spend one or two minutes in silent prayer at noon, this would be of tremendous benefit to all.
Paramahansa Yogananda has said, "Most men consider the course of events as natural and inevitable. They little know what radical changes are possible through prayer."
