Sloka is a Sanskrit word used to denote a prayerful verse written to follow certain grammatical rules. The slokas presented here can be used in our daily prayers. These prayers are generally directed to specific God or Goddess forms such as Ganesh, Rama, Devi, Krishna etc. Conveying the majesty and the Omnipotence of God, the slokas portray vivid descriptions of the different God forms and their Divine powers. Anyone who chants these powerful verses and invokes the appropriate God (Goddess) Forms and Names mentally, will be able to achieve a steady and peaceful mind full of devotion. That in short is the purpose of the slokas.





                    "Slokas  gives us useful insight into different aspects of life."  

                   न कश्चिदपि जानाति 
                   किं कस्य श्वो भविष्यति
                   अतः श्वः करणीयानि 
                   कुर्यादद्धैव वुद्धिमान्



No one knows what will happen tomorrow. So, wise people do today what should be done tommorow.

                  उपकारिषु यः साधुः सधुत्वे तस्य को गुणः  
                  अपकारिषु यः साधुः साधुरिति कीर्तितः  



If one does good to those who do good, what merit is one's goodness? It is only who does good to even those who do harm to him, is called a saint.

                 आशायाः ये दासाः ते दासाः सर्वलोकस्य
                 आशा येषां दासी तेषां दासायते लोकः



Those who are the slaves of 'desire' are slaves of the entire world. But world itself is the slave of those to whom 'desire' is a slave.

                  स्व्भावं जहात्येव साधुरापद्गतोऽपि सन्
                  कर्पूरः पाव्कस्पृष्टः सौरभं लभतेतराम्



A good person never gives up his nature even when he is caught in calamity. Camphor caught with fire emits more frgrance.

    Pride in Samskrit

  Sanskrit is the ancient sacred language of India. It is believed to be the oldest language of the world. There are still hundreds of millions of people who use Sanskrit in their daily lives, but despite these numbers, its cultural worth is unsurpassed.

The origin of Sanskrit can be accredited to the Vedic society. Vedic Sanskrit is believed to date back to the 2nd millennium BC, when knowledge was handed down through the generations verbally.

Mystic traditions of India ascribe a wholly sacred origin to the language, describing it as the language of the gods. Sanskrit, along with about half of the world's languages, is a member of the Indo-European language family. This family has many branches and sub-divisions. Linguists place Sanskrit among the Indic languages of the Indo-Iranian branch.
