| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| I consider even the lowest-born man, who has dedicated his thoughts, words, efforts, riches and life to the Lord, to be worthier than the Brahmin - the highest-born-who, though possessing the above mentioned twleve qualities, is disinclined to worship the lotus feet of the Lord; for the former sanctifies his race, but not so the latter who is puffed up with immense conciet. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| Search carefully, having applied the magic ointment of divine contemplation to the eyes. Break open the dark barrier of ignorance, making the Lord's sacred names the great ritual offering. O auspicious one! Whoever does so and obtains, in this very embodiment, the treasure-trove of Thy lotus feet resorted to by celestials and bedecked with serpents as ornaments, attains to the goal of human existence. |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
| Rides on a chariot drawn by mules. Om haya gardabhaye namah. |
