Power Of Prayers

I was on a schedule in a intensive care unit with two new born babies on supportive ventilation. Inside this ICU, there is only One Religion. But outside the ICU the scene is different, one grandmother is reciting SreeRamRaksha and one is reciting healing Aayat from Quran. 

As soon as the I came out of ICU, the first grandmother says, " Doctor please take this Holy Ash of RamRaksha Abhimantrit  and put  it  on baby's  chest."

I could understand the feelings but the Doctor in me said, "Ma, I can't do this." 

Other grandmother asked me, "Can I see baby and blow blessings of Allah towards baby?" 

For this procedure I could see the same feelings as of the first grandmother but the doctor in me nodded in affirmation only to perform it while standing outside and looking at the baby from a glass door.

Suddenly the first grandmother remembered that this is also the way of passing the blessings of the prayers. And both did the same. 

If  substance is replaced by more subtle forms as air and Loving Glance, then Blessings and Prayers become more Powerful. There is this Oneness about Universal Love in prayers. No boundaries of religion are there in this territory of prayers. In all famous and big hospitals, in small hospitals, there are Idols of God. Doctors praying in OT, casualty etc. while treating some challenging case, is frequently seen. 

"We are doing our best, you too pray to the God" are the most frequently said lines by doctors. As a science, how these Prayers work? Vibrations of prayers are very subtle (Sukshm) and powerful. These acts, enhances confidence, boosts logical thinking, increases intra personal intelligence as well as inter personal intelligence. These are Multiple Intelligence factors. Such is the power of prayer.
