| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| Salutations to Brahman. Salutations to God in the fire. Salutations to the God in the earth. Salutations to the God in the plants. Salutations to the God in speech. Salutations to the Lord of speech, I offer my salutations to the supreme Being, the all-pervading Spirit. |
|
| Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram |
| Salutations to Him who is not an object of any of the means of valid knowledge, Himself being the knowing Witness |
|
| Sri Lalita Sahasranama |
Om karanguli - nakh otpanna - narayana dasakrtyai namah.
Salutations to Her who out of Her finger nails recreated all the ten Incarnations of Vishnu to destroy the Asuras slain by Him in His incarnations and now recreated magically by Bhanda out of missile of his. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| I am not proficient in the law codes or the philosophies, in medicine or augury, in poetry or music, in ancient lores(Puranas) or mystic chants, panegyrics, histrionics of buffoonery. How then can kings be pleased with me? And who, after all, am I? Ignorant as I am like a beast (or, in the alternative, the ignorant soul that I am), save me O Lord! out of Thy far-famed mercy, Thou all-knowing and all-pervading One!. |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
| The Lord of all existence. Om Sarva loka praja pataye namah |
|
| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
| The right attitude is to be devoted and given to the Mother and to wish to be whatever she wants you to be. The rest is for the Mother to decide and do in you. |
