We learn prayers from our childhood. There are simple prayers of gratitude, prayers for the welfare of loved ones, and, of course, prayers for some cherished desire to be fulfilled. We offer prayers for forgiveness, and prayers for strength to change ourselves for the better. Atheists think that a prayer to God is sheer imagination. For centuries, however, thousands of sincere practitioners have accumulated definite evidence of the positive results of prayer. The real purpose of prayer is not to gain material resources or even spiritual salvation for oneself. The power of prayer is best utilised when we petition Krishna for things that will help us spiritually connect with Him. When we pray with devotion and desperation, Krishna hears.
