Prayer is supplication; worship is adoration. Prayer is a request; worship is thanksgiving for answering it. Prayer is a conversation with God; worship is gratitude for the outcome of that conversation.

Prayer leads to spiritual progress; worship is based on ritualism, prayer on spirituality. Prayer is a form of worshipping God — a message that we love Him and are thankful, and a way to ask for good health, courage, and comfort. It is also a way of conversation between ourselves and God, through which our relationship with Him grows, just as no friendship can truly grow without fellowship.

Prayer means having a quiet time with God and talking to Him about ourselves — confession, requests, or simply thanks. It is a communion with the whole, where we get connected to the whole.

Worship, in its simplest form, is revering God and recognising all He has done — through singing, praying, chanting, dancing in His presence. It is an expression of reverence, love and respect, intense adoration.

Sukh Vele Shukrana — pay gratitude in times of happiness. Dukh Vele Ardaas — pray to Him at times of crisis. Har Vele Simran — remember Him at all times.
