| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| Om. May my limbs, speech, breath, eye, ear, strength and all senses become perfected. Everything is the Brahman proclaimed in the Upanishads. May I never deny Brahman. May Brahman never reject me. May there be no denial at least from me. May I, who am devoted to the Atman, be endowed with all the virtues taught in the Upanishads. Om Peace, Peace, Peace. |

| Sri Lalita Sahasranama |
Om nabhyalavala - romali - lata - phala - kuca - dvayyai namah.
Salutations to Her whose breasts look like fruits on the creeper of the hair - line spreading upwards from the navel. |
|
| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| O Lord! Thou master of the worlds! When with the water-wheel of intellect and the pot of words, the pure waters of the divine stories of Sadasiva are brought to the fields of the heart through the canals and subchannels of poesy, the rice crop of devotion yields a plentiful harvest. Where is then fear of famine (the death of divine love and its fruits) for me who am Thy dependant? |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
The Mars. Om graha pataye namah
Mars is most troublesome. |
|
| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
| It is at work here, and one day will come when the most blind, the most unconscious, even the most unwilling shall be obliged to recognised it. |
