Ram, Dass: The power of this English mantra is in its simplicity and directness: 

The power of God is within me. The grace of God surrounds me.

 

 The "Prayer for Protection" is one of two Freeman poems carried to the moon by Apollo astronauts. In 1969, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin carried a copy with him on the first manned moon landing. In 1971, a microfilm copy of Freeman's poem, "I Am There," was left on the moon by Apollo XV astronaut James B. Irwin.
 

 Unity:  The Prayer for Protection

 

    The light of God surrounds us;

    The love of God enfolds us;

    The power of God protects us;

    The presence of God watches over us;

    Wherever we are, God is!
