| Ramayana |
| The ways of men are strange. One who has been beaten at a task does not sympathise with another who is similarly defeated. Instead, he jeers loudly and scoffs at the second man to restore his own self-esteem. |

| Mahabharata |
| War should be the last resort. |
|
| Upanishads |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| Om. May there be peace in heaven. May there be peace in the sky. May there be peace on earth. May there be peace in the water. May there be peace in the plants. May there be peace in the trees. May there be peace in the Gods. May there be peace in Brahman. May there be peace in all. May that peace, real peace, be mine. |

| Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram |
| Salutations to the Imperishable and All-pervading One. |
|

Om asvarudh aashisthit asva - koti - kotibhir - avrtayai namah.

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| A man caught in a current seeks the shore; a tired traveller, the shade of trees; one caught in rain his comfortable home; a man in quest of hospitality, a householder; a poverty-stricken person a charitable and wealthy man; a man in dense darkness, a lamp; and one exposed to cold, a well-fired hearth. In the same way, O my mind, seek the lotus feet of Siva - the feet that destroy all fears. |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
Clothed in the tiger or elephant skin. Om charmine namah
This is the symbol of the conquest of egoism. Mythology speaks of Siva tearing to pieces the body of an elephant - faced demon and of His wearing the skin of that demon as an insignia of valour. |
