| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |

Salutations to Her whose cheeks are far fairer than mirrors of ruby (Padmaraga). |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
When shall I, in a blissful mood, pass like a second the long period (Kalpa) covered by the life-time of many Brahmas, staying in the very presence of Siva along with the goblins in a mansion of gold and precious gems situated in (the heavenly moutain of) Kailasa and praying with hands folded and held on the head, "Save me, O supremely auspicious and all-pervading One! Thou that art united with the Divine Mother! Thou Lord of all the worlds!"
(A Kalpa is a thousand divine years, which is equal to 432 million human years. It is one day time of a Brahma and the duration of one cyclic manifestation of the cosmos. At the end of it a Pralaya or dissolution of equal duration takes place. After that a new day begins for Brahma. 360 such days and nights constitute one Brahmic year. 100 such Brahmic years mark the lifetime of a Brahma, after which the presiding Brahma is aborbed in Mahavisnu; and another Brahma takes up the reins.) |

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