| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| O Lord, thou art on the sand banks as well as in the midst of the current; I bow to Thee. Thou art in the little pebbles as well as in the calm expanse of the seal I bow to Thee. O all-pervading Lord, Thou art in the barren soil and in crowded places; I bow to Thee. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| O Lord! Thou Master of all! For the attainment of liberation, is it not enough for men like me to serve Thee even once by prostration, by praise, by listening to divine stories, by worship, by contemplation, or by visualisation? By what else but these can liberation be achieved? If, however, it is attainable by any of these, what is there to be gained by the arduous worship of ephemeral deities? |

| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
