June 30, 1973

Operation Prayer Power was inaugurated in England on Holdstone Down, a holy mountain in North Devon overlooking the Bristol Channel.

When the first historic charging phase of Operation Prayer Power took place, there were 200 pilgrims to begin the new mission. There was also a large media representation and you will hear the Society’s press officer being interviewed by the BBC at the beginning of the video.

Led by Dr. King, the pilgrims joined in chanting holy mantra while a hand-picked prayer team stood before the Operation Prayer Power battery and directed the tremendously powerful energy of love into the battery, to be stored and released during times of crisis in the world.

You will also see a dazzling display of Tibetan mudra (hand/finger positions) by Dr. King, which is used to invoke and direct the spiritual energy generated by the mantra team and direct it into the prayer battery.

Just as the operation began, the world was passing through one of the longest solar eclipses for hundreds of years. As the Earth was deprived of millions of units of solar energy, a few representatives of humanity were a part of the birth of a mighty force to shape its future.
