Dada Vedaprajinananda looks at this question from the yogic perspective.  If God is perfect, then he knows what we need before we even ask it, so according to Shrii Shrii Anandamurti we should not ask for things.  If we ask for anything, then we should ask God to guide our intellect onto the correct path of good and benevolence. The ancient Gayatri Mantra is a prayer of this type.

Dada Vedaprajinananda tackles the question of evil and injustice in a world created by God, using concepts from yoga philosophy (karma and reincarnation), yoga cosmology (the Brahmachakra) as well as physics and chemistry to show that there is no contradiction between the world and God.

In this episode Dada Vedaprajinananda (Dada Veda) demonstrates how to do meditation with the universal mantra (Baba Nam Kevalam “Only the name of the most Beloved” or “Love is All There Is”)
