Description

This book containing choice prayers from select hymns presents to the devotee just a little cream of devotion from the mighty milk ocean of Sanskrit religious literature. The lines are free from sectarian bias and speak of the universal aspect of the Deity common to all religions and creeds. As such, they are sure to appeal to all seekers after Truth who follow the path of devotion in some form or other, and want passages for meditation, praise and prayer all together.

THE USE OF HYMNS AND PRAYERS

Of the threefold forms of worship-physical, verbal and mental, that is, external adoration, invocation by praises and prayers, and meditation-the first, consisting of rituals and ceremonials of the past, has almost fallen out of use in the life of the individual, and this is greatly due to the stress of activity and lack of leisure and other conveniences in modern life. Noticing the tendency of the age, the authors of the Puranas-the Popular scriptures-have laid great emphasis on verbal and mental worship, and of these, again, particularly on verbal worship, as it is easier to practise than the other.
