                                 PRAYER

  Dr. Chandra Bhanu Satpathy, Shri Sai Cultural & Community Center, 
Seattle, Washington, offered the following prayer:
  O, Lord, by Your will, we are born in different nations, speak 
different languages, and follow different religions and cultures; yet 
we are all Your children and ever grateful for Your love and 
protection.
  Evoke in us pious thoughts and feelings to shun all hatred and 
violence

[[Page H4603]]

and become worthy of Your services. Bless our future generations to 
imbibe this spirit of love, sacrifice, and cooperation.
  Guide us in following saints like Shirdi Sai Baba, who proclaimed in 
Hindi ``sabka malik ek,'' meaning ``God is the master of all.'' Inspire 
us, as Your trustees, to nourish and protect the world around us to 
sustain all life.
  Guide us along the ethical and holistic path of self-control, purity 
of purpose, and dedication enshrined in the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita.
  O, Lord, bless this august assembly and this Nation in performing its 
national and global responsibilities towards furthering the cause of 
humanity.
