Public Prayer that makes every one happy.

Wearing one's religious symbols or following one's religious tradition is different from preaching religion every now and then!

Coming to Universal prayer, I feel the one by Swami Sivananda very thought provoking and sensible!

O Adorable Lord of Mercy and Love !
Salutations and prostrations unto Thee.
Thou art Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient.
Thou art Existence-Consciousness-Bliss Absolute.
Thou art the Indweller of all beings.
Grant us an understanding heart,
Equal vision, balanced mind,
Faith, devotion and wisdom.
Grant us inner spiritual strength
To resist temptation and to control the mind.
Free us from egoism, lust, greed, hatred, anger and jealousy.
Fill our hearts with divine virtues.
Let us behold Thee in all these names and forms.
Let us serve Thee in all these names and forms.
Let us ever remember Thee.
Let us ever sing Thy glories.
Let Thy Name be ever on our lips.
Let us abide in Thee for ever and ever.

I feel that here can be no universal prayer, for it would be only lip service with each of the individual thinking about his/her preferred choice of a Godhead (or a Godless concept).

I would think that a universal wish (prayer, if it shoud be termed so) should be on the likes of what Shri Sangom has mentioned - without any reference to any God, or supernatural entity, or force etc., but a positive thoughts that wish (enthuse) for all the individuals to be honest, sincere, loving, compassionate etc. (we certainly don't need a God to be all these !).
