| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| With my mind absorbed in the bliss of singing Thy glory, O Supreme Lord, I fear not the dreadful river of existence, difficult to cross; but I feel sorry for the pitiable condition of those perverted souls who labour under the dead weight of the world, tempted by the illusions of sensual enjoyments. |

| Salutations to Him who is the beginning of all that exists. |

Om astami - candra - vibhrajadalika - sthala - sobhitayai namah.
Salutations to Her whose forehead shines, arching like the crescent moon of the eighth lunar digit (Astami). |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
O all-pervading one! Unto me who am engaged in Thy worship, vouchsafe ethernal bliss at once. How could I possibly bear the grief, if, as a result of Thy worship, Thou bestowest on me the position of Brahma or Visnu, and still I fail to find Thee in heaven or earth after searching for Thee in heaven or earth after searching for Thee as a bird and a beast?
(The allusion is to the episode in the Puranas of Brahma and Visnu taking the form of a swan and a boar respectively, and going up and down to find out the extremities of Siva who appeared as a tower of Light. Both of them failed in their effort to discover the limits of Divine glory.) |
