Prayer for Strength and Spiritual Development

Many a time we think, “I did not want to have negative thoughts, but they arise anyway. I did not want to say anything negative, but it came out. I did not want to behave badly, but it happened.” Why does this happen?

While exposing the science behind this, Param Pujya Dadashri says, our speech, thoughts and actions today, are the result of the causes we bound in our past life. No one can bring about any changes in a result. If the cause changes, the result will change automatically.

Then how can we change our inner intent, or cause? Param Pujya Dadashri provides a prayer for strength, the Nine Kalams, as a solution to show us how to pray and what to ask God. This prayer for strength is the extracted essence of the all scriptures. It is the key to bringing about a change in our inner intent, on a fundamental level.

Just by reciting this prayer for strength, we ask for forgiveness for all our different types of mistakes and we ask for strength not to repeat them again. By reciting it, our inner intents become pure. 

Let us go through the questions below to find out the vast science behind these Nine Kalams
