| Sri Lalita Sahasranama |
Om kurma - prstha - jayisnu - prapad anvitayai namah.
Salutations to Her the arch of whose feet rivals the shapeliness and beauty of the back of a tortoise. |
|
| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| Let the hymn of praise stop now. I do not tell lies. O Bestower of supreme good! Thy devotees like Brahma and others deem Thee as the first when they take a list of those who deserve to be praised. For, in estimating comparative greatness, they find themselves unimportant (lit, blown away), like a chaff of husk when rice is winnowed, and consider Thee to be the bestower of the highest of all rewards (ie, liberation). |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
The Doer of all. Om sarvakaraya namah
He is the efficient cause of the world. |
|
| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
To know is good,
to live is better,
to be, that is perfect. |
