Shiv Shloka
We Offer our prayers for Lord Shiva. He is the Lord of destruction, ruglating the population. If people don't die it will be utter catastrophe. Though this is superficial meaning,which is attributed for convenience sake, any God as matter of fact is endowed with all qualitities.

Prayer-3
Apart from this we make it a point to chant Mother Teresa's favourite prayer
Oh Lord make me in instrument of your peace
When there is Hatred, Let me sow Love,
When there is Injury, Pardon
When there is Doubt, Faith
When there is Despair, Hope,
When there is Darkness, Light,
When there is Sadness, Joy,
O, Divine Maste grant that i may not seek to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to Love,
For it is in giving that we receive,
For it is in pardoning, that we are pardoned,
Fo it is in dying that we born to eternal life.
Prayer-4
Fame is a Vapour
Popularity is an accident
Riches takes wings
Only one thing endures, Character
The world is Thine, I am Thine
Thine shall be done.
