| 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 |
| May your deeds be only righteous. |
|
| Hinduism |
| The world is like a river and our acts are like its ripples. |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| Thou hast no colour, no form, no weapons, no particular abode. Yet thou revealest Thyself unto Thy devotess in a personal form. |
|
| Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram |
| Salutations to Him who is the Life Breath in all creatures. |
|
| Sri Lalita Sahasranama |
Om cakra - raja - rath arudha - sarv ayudha - pariskrtayai namah.
Salutations to Her seated in Her chariot Cakra - raja equipped with armaments of every kind. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| Lord Siva is like unto a dancing peacock. He is blue-throated even as the peacock. He bears the sky as crest, as the peacock its feathery plume. He has the lord of all serpents as his necklace while the peacock, being the deadly enemy of all serpents, has mastery over them. He is decorated with ornaments, as the peacock is with its ornamental tail. He instructs with the sound Om in blessing those who prostrate, while the peacock utters its cry known as the Keka. He dances in joy, seeing the beautiful young daughter of the mountain (i.e, Parvati, His Consort), while the peacock dances at the sight of the black-coloured clouds coming from the hills (sailasamudhbhavam sysmam ghanarucim). I worship that Siva, the blue-throated one, who thus resembles the peacock and delights to sport in the garden of Vedanta. |

| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
Existence. Om bhavaya namah
He is the Source of all that exists. |

| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
| Let the power of the Mother work in you, but be careful to avoid any mixture or substitution, in its place, of either a magnified ego-working or a force of Ignorance presenting itself as Truth. |
