Reach God by SMS

Wired News reports

Once merely a useful tool for keeping in touch on the go, the mobile phone is fast finding a new niche as an instrument of spiritual enlightenment.

For followers of Islam, companies such as LG Electronics and Dubai-based Ilkone Mobile Telecommunications make phones that aid Muslims in their daily practice by indicating the direction of Mecca, providing the call to prayer or even incorporating the Quran within the phone.

The text message, a dominant method of communication in many parts of the world, has also become a valuable religious tool. Indian operator BPLMobile lets customers send prayers by SMS to a Bombay temple where they are offered to the Hindu god Ganesh.

In a similar vein, subscribers in the United States and several European countries can receive a daily text message from the pope.

MSN India reports

Mauj Telecom, a wireless content provider, launched a spiritual channel early this week that will enable mobile users to perform elaborate prayers using a short code 7077.

If a user wants to perform, say a Ganesh puja, all he has to do is download the relevant application from the short code.

At the next stage, he will be able to say a prayer in the following manner: Key 1 - light the lamp; key 2 - offer durva (grass); key 3 - offer garland; key 4 - offer modaks (sweet); key 5 - ring bells; and finally, key 6 - rendition of the aarti.

BSNL reports

In da Bginnin God cre8d da heavens & da earth. Da earth waz barren, wit no 4m of life; it waz unda a roaring ocean cuvred wit dRkness.’ (Genesis, chapter 1, verses 1-2). This is not garbled text. These are SMS versions of the verses from the Holy Bible.

The mobile phone industry is now going after the devout. And the latest development is that users can SMS their prayers to God Almighty. In what can be termed as one of its kind, the Bible, which has been translated into more languages than any other publication, is now available in the world’s most modern form of communication, SMS.

This trend is catching up fast in India also. Recently, Shree Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai has tied up with a mobile content provider for a service where people can send their prayers via SMS. The SMS prayers will be compiled and kept in a ‘wish box’ inside the temple. Within a week of the start of the service, more than 10,000 SMS prayers had flooded the inbox of Lord Ganesha at the temple. This is perhaps the first time in the country that technology has been used to make worshipping convenient. This sort of SMS prayer is convenient for those who cannot make it to the temple.
