| Ramayana |
| Faith and trust can move mountains. Faith can help a person analyse problems to come up with the right reason. Faith can sound a warning bell when common sense fails to show the way. Faith acts as a beacon when all else is dark. |
|
| Mahabharata |
| To know the secrets of a person, become like him. A sadhu if he is one. Or a scavenger if he is one. |
|
| Upanishads |
| Satyameva jayate ... Truth alone shall triumph. |
|
| Hinduism |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| Nothing is beyond Thy ken, but Thou art not perceived by any. Nothing is unrealised by Thee, yet Thou art not realised by any. |
|
| Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram |
| Salutations to Him who has become the year, the essence of Time. |
|
| Sri Lalita Sahasranama |
Om nija - sallapa - madhurya - vinirbhartsita - kacchapyai namah.
Salutations to Her whose speech is more melodious than the Veena of Sarasvati known as Kacchapi. |
|
| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
O Lord of Bhavani! Whosoever worships Thy lotus feet-- from him the god of Death runs away fearing another kick at the chest; him the Immortals adore by performing the 'light-waving' ceremony with the gems of lamp-like brilliance studding their crowns; him the damsel of liberation holds in her tight embrace. What is there difficult of achievement for him in the three worlds?
(The allusion is Markandeya who was saved by Siva from the god of Death, It is implied that Siva is equally merciful towards all devotees and so the God of Death should beware, knowing that a devotee is deathless in spirit.) |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
Terrific. Om bhimaya namah
Siva is both soft and terrific. |
|
| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
| Without care for time, without fear for space, surging out purified from the flames of the ordeal, we shall fly without stop towards the realisation of our goal, the supramental victory. |
