| Ramayana |
| Beware of a woman scorned in love. Her wrath knows no bounds. All she becomes concerned with is revenge. She loved a man passionately. Equally passionately, she now wants him to suffer. She is not satisfied till he suffers as she is doing now. |
|
| Mahabharata |
| It you are lost, follow the path which most sages do. |
|
| Upanishads |
| The desire to know more than mundane matters is rare indeed. |

| Hinduism |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| Thou art the father of the world, of the moving and the non-moving. Greater than the greatest, Thou art the one object of worship. There is none equal to Thee in all the worlds. Who, then, can excel Thee, O Thou of incomparable power? |
|
| Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram |
| Salutations to Him who is devoid of beginning and end. |
|
| 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 |
| Lord Siva is like unto a dancing peacock. He is blue-throated even as the peacock. He bears the sky as crest, as the peacock its feathery plume. He has the lord of all serpents as his necklace while the peacock, being the deadly enemy of all serpents, has mastery over them. He is decorated with ornaments, as the peacock is with its ornamental tail. He instructs with the sound Om in blessing those who prostrate, while the peacock utters its cry known as the Keka. He dances in joy, seeing the beautiful young daughter of the mountain (i.e, Parvati, His Consort), while the peacock dances at the sight of the black-coloured clouds coming from the hills (sailasamudhbhavam sysmam ghanarucim). I worship that Siva, the blue-throated one, who thus resembles the peacock and delights to sport in the garden of Vedanta. |

| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
The Benefactor of the stars. Om nakshatra sadhakaya namah
All luminosity emanates from Him. |

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