| Ramayana |
| Vanity and pride make a man charge into battle forgetting all considerations of his responsibilities. Little do they think about what will happen of these responsibilities in case they fall in battle. They live only for the present and do not think of the future. |
|
| Mahabharata |
| If the enemy cuts down your crown, he merely desires to teach you a lesson. Or else why would he spare your head? |
|
| Upanishads |
| God is joy, unceasing joy. The joy of our senses is but temporal. |
|
| Hinduism |
| Truth is eternal. So is Bliss. |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| Thou art, O Lord, the creator of the worlds. Salutations to Thee. Thou producest the herbs and plants as well. O Thou bestower of earthly felicity, salutations to Thee. |
|
| Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram |
| Salutations to Him who has lovely hair. |
|
| Sri Lalita Sahasranama |
Om hara - netr agni - sandagdha - kama - sanjivan ausadhyai namah.
Salutations to Her, the life giving herb, that revived the god of love (Kama - deva) who had been burnt to death by the fire of Siva's eyes. |
|
| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
O Lord of Bhavani! Whosoever worships Thy lotus feet-- from him the god of Death runs away fearing another kick at the chest; him the Immortals adore by performing the 'light-waving' ceremony with the gems of lamp-like brilliance studding their crowns; him the damsel of liberation holds in her tight embrace. What is there difficult of achievement for him in the three worlds?
(The allusion is Markandeya who was saved by Siva from the god of Death, It is implied that Siva is equally merciful towards all devotees and so the God of Death should beware, knowing that a devotee is deathless in spirit.) |

| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
The Great Strength.
Om mahabalaya namah. |

| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
