Lighting butter lamps is a popular addition to prayer in Nepal. People light many lamps close to a temple and recite prayers. It can get quite hot when close to the lamps!
Prayer is when you talk to God;
meditation is when you listen to God.

I almost missed this little guy on my morning me time walk...
Luckily he just sat there in prayer.
I visited Badshahi Mosque, Pakistan's (and South Asia's) second biggest mosque over the weekend. During peak prayer times, such as Eid, up to 100,000 people can pray together at once. In mid-summer, when the temperature soars between 40-50 deg C (100-120 deg F), the paved bricks are too hot to walk on, so visitors cross the courtyard on a narrow path of moistened mats.

"And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of this desolation; and all hearts
Were chill'd into a selfish prayer for light"

Another beach shot. My weekly walk with friends seems to be the only chance I've had to shoot lately. Thank goodness there's always something there to catch my eye.

In Scripture:
Elijah is taken up to heaven: 2 Kings 2:1-14
Elijah — a prophet who is often associated with John the Baptist — also crossed the Jordan River on dry ground in this area, and was then taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire (2 Kings 2:8-11).
Whatever one’s religious persuasion, it’s hard not to be moved by this minimal pile of ruins lying at the end of the Jordan Valley near the Dead Sea. This is the site, archaeologists assure us, where John the Baptist preached, where Jesus was baptised, where the first five apostles met, and where, thereby, the foundations of the early Christian faith were laid. They chose an auspicious spot, as many also believe this was the place from where prophet Elijah (who was born in Mar Elias in north Jordan) ascended to heaven in a whirlwind.
***
Archaeological excavations also established that the hill of Tell al-Kharrar, known as Elijah's Hill, was venerated as the spot from which Prophet Elijah ascended to heaven. In the 5th century, in commemoration, a Byzantine monastery was erected here. The archaeologists have named it the "Monastery of Rhetorios" after a name from a Byzantine mosaic inscription.
***
Tell Elias is where Elijah is said to have ascended to heaven, although there is little to see here. The rebuilt arch marks the 5th- to 6th-century pilgrim chapel, where Pope John Paul II authenticated the site in 2000. The nearby 3rd-century rectangular prayer hall is one of the earliest Christian places of worship ever discovered, dating from a period when Christianity was still illegal.

View LARGE on black and say a little prayer for the people of Haiti who were devastated by a magnitude 7 earthquake on the afternoon of 12 Jan 2010. Their infrastructures were leveled and as much as 100,000 people under the rubbles are feared dead. The presidential palace and the UN Headquarters were also flattened. International rescue and relief operations are difficult to deliver as their airport was paralized due to damages. Of the 175 accounted Filipino volunteers three are still missing and also feared to be among the casualties.
Let's pray for them. GOD BLESS HAITI !!!
