Prayers for Queensland: BAPS

The recent floods in the state of Queensland had devastating impact causing loss of life, destroying thousands of homes and impacting many families and communities.

In the aftermath of this calamity, the young children of BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Sydney held Special Prayers for the Queensland Floods on 29 January 2011.  Over 80 children in attendance joined in prayer for all those who lost their lives, were injured or suffered loss as a result of the floods, and for peace and normalcy to be restored as soon as possible.

Such prayers are able to offer comfort and support in a lasting and meaningful way.  Through their involvement in such a prayer, the children also learnt how to empathise with the difficulties of others.

BAPS in Australia and worldwide continue to pray and offer support for those affected by the floods.  For more information on BAPS visit www.baps.org
