The 3C Devotional Prayer of Changes Service Network exists for the purpose of participating in Prayers of positive change and making use of Beloved Adi Da's Divine Blessing-Grace for the heart-need of His global Third Congregation devotees. When Divine Intervention has been acknowledged to be a necessity, members of the Network serve by offering prayers daily (either individually or collectively in the Presence of our Heart-Master) related to significant matters beyond the control and responsibility of requesting devotees, such as: medical issues confronting devotees, their family members or beloved pets; situations in a devotee's life of practice; or sudden upheavals in life or work circumstances, to name just a few examples of the most relevant issues. The Third Congregation also sponsors the weekly world-wide DPOC for extreme global weather patterns and climate change, which is open to participation from members of all congregations.
The 3C DPOC Network not only offers a positive service to Beloved Adi Da and His devotees, but also provides a way to further grow in your own practice, as you selflessly Commune more deeply with our Divine Heart-Master and strengthen your relationship to Him. It's an easeful and heart-connected service that gives you a way to serve from your own home or wherever you may be in the world at any given moment in Beloved's Company.
The following are a few testimonials from participating members of the Service:
In addition to, and as a result of participation in the 3C DPOC Service Network prayers, I have begun to pray to Beloved on my own relative to my personal circumstance as well as for the sake of others, including the world as a whole. I do this daily because I feel Adi Da more and more as a Presence (and not just as a Teacher) Who I am able to have a relationship with, and as One who can have a benign influence in this realm. (Larry Shield, 3C, CA)
Participating in the 3C DPOC Service Network has provided me with a real service to Beloved Avatar Adi Da Samraj and given me an extraordinary opportunity to serve the process of change in the lives of His devotees. The prayers are relatable and help me navigate my own life as I see how many of us may have similar challenges, and I've witnessed and felt how Communion with our Beloved Guru has softened the circumstances of devotees by His Grace; and for those transitioning in this lifetime, I can truly sense how Beloved's Blessing Power has transformed their process. (Claudia Levin, 3C, CA)
As a long-time devotee of Beloved Adi Da and currently a member of the Third Congregation living in a remote area in Montana, it's difficult for me to feel "connected" to the community, at best. Besides the classes I take with Anne Henderson, the 3C DPOC Service Network is one of the ways I've found to be active in service to Beloved Adi Da and connected to community, while living at a long distance from any Adidam center or ashram.
Besides participating in requested prayers for specific 3C devotees, the Network also sponsors and offers the weekly Saturday Global Weather DPOC for Beloved's Blessing-Regard of extreme weather patterns, global warming and climate change, and Divine Protection of His Hermitages, Sanctuaries and devotee communities. I've been regularly participating in this particular DPOC since its beginning (and have even occasionally hosted it), and find that it's a wonderful way to invoke Beloved as a routine part of my practice. I can honestly say I actually look forward to it every week, and would certainly encourage all devotees to attend and participate as often as possible. A small step towards "everybody-all-at-once".
Da! Da! Da! (Bryan Foster, 3C, MT)
