Significance of Prayers: Haiku and Sketch Note

~Lalit Kishore

Haiku on prayer

Entreat humans must -

That’s Lord Krishna’s injunction

Pray for high ideals!

***

Bhakti Yoga path -

The path of love and fondness

For life that’s sacred

***

Prayers are essence

Of humans’ spiritual life

To imbibe holiness

***

Pray for divine life

For self-purification

Self-awakening

SKETCH NOTE

In Summary

Kishore (2024) explores the spiritual and psychological significance of prayer, conceptualizing it as a tool for cultivating mindfulness and inner tranquility through visual sketch notes, acrostics, and a "3R" mantra framework. The post highlights that prayer—ranging from traditional verses to haikus—acts as a, 3R (Read, Reflect, Renew) approach to foster resilience, emotional healing, and daily self-improvement. Besides the spiritual and cognitive value of prayer, it also works as an ethical anchor in a technology-driven world. He advocates for cultivating inner stillness and mindfulness by combining Japanese haiku for self-reflection with visual sketch notes for cognitive mapping.
