| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| Om. May the presiding deity of day be propitious to us. May the presiding deity of night be propitous to us. May the presiding deity of the sense of vision be propitious to us. May the Gods of strength and of intellect also be propitious to us. May the all-pervading Lord be propitious. Adoration to Brahman. Adoration to Thee, the controller of activities. Thou art, verily, the visible Brahman. Verily, I will declare Thee to be the visible Brahman. The right will I speak. The truth will I speak. May Brahman protect me. May Brahman protect the preceptor. May He protect me. May HE protect the preceptor. Om Peace, Peace, Peace. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| O great Soul! Thou source of all good! Pray, tell how didst Thou look at that poison (Kalakuta), flaming fiercely like fire, so terrifying to all the immortal celestials even? And how didst Thou take it and hold it in hand? Was it a ripe Jambu fruit to handle? How, again, didst Thou place it on the tongue like a medicinal pill of the Siddhas; and how, wear it in the throat like a blue gem? |

Siva is ever wakeful. |
