| Upanishads |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| He is the Self of the universe, the immortal being, the lord. He is the all-knowing, all-pervading protector of the universe. He alone rules the world for ever, and none else. Desirous of emancipation I seek refuge in that effulgent Being, whose light reveals the knowledge of the Atman; who first creates the cosmic Soul and delivers to him the supreme knowledge; who is without parts, without actions, tranquil, without fault, without taint; who is the supreme bridge to immortality, and is self-effulgent like a blazing fire consuming its fuel. |

Salutations to the great Empress of the whole Universe. |
|
| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| O Thou destroyer of Cupid and ruler of the worlds! Thou auspicious and all-pervading One attended upon by thy devotees! May Thou accompanied by Thy Divine Sakti (ie, the Mother of the Universe, Siva's consort, known variously as Uma, Parvati, Gauri, etc.) enter into, and take residence in, the shining and movable tent of my mind, which is fixed every day on the royal road of divine contemplation, and which has the will as the pillar for its support, the Gunas (ie, dispositions of Nature), as its strong ropes, the numerous tendencies as its multiple colours, and the psychic centres as its lotus designs. |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
Existence. Om bhavaya namah
He is the Source of all that exists. |
|
| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
