Hare Krishna - Request for Guidance on Prayer OCD

Posted by Arun Ajayakumar on November 16, 2025 at 8:22am in Personal

Hare Krishna,

I’m Arun Ajayakumar, and I wanted to share something personal. I have been experiencing Prayer OCD, which brings intrusive thoughts and anxiety during my spiritual practices. This has been particularly challenging for me, and I am seeking advice on how to manage these feelings while continuing my prayers.
I would be grateful for any guidance, support, or resources you could provide.

                  You want me help you and guide you ?

                  will you follow what I will say? 
                  You will get freed from all sorts of intursive thoughts. You will form a kavach ( protection) around you. You will no longer be having any bad thoughts.  Will you trust my words and do ? 

                  Or just you will take this a some random message from a stranger online and it wont help me much and take it litely?

                  When all things fail in life this one thing will only help to get rid of all negativity in life. If you say okay then only I shall tell.

                  Because, I know OCD people they don't trust anyone. laughing Even if we try to give them any advice... the next they will come again and say.. it didn't work and I am still getting bad thoughts.

                    Hare Krishna, I am ready to follow wholeheartedly with complete trust.

                    You haven't answered me.

                    So you are doubtful that you will follow or not. isn't it?

                      Hare Krishna 🙏 Mataji, I have been chanting the Mahamantra as much as possible, and I am experiencing a positive change within myself. I will continue to share my progress regularly. Thank you very much for your valuable and devotional guidance.
