Universal Prayers

This handy little book is a storehouse of choicest hymns and prayers of universal appeal culled from the Vedas, the Puranas, and other sources. These hymns and prayers are expressive of the deep spiritual longings and realisations of the Hindu seers.

The compilation and English translation is by Swami Yatiswarananda, one among the foremost disciples of Swami Brahmananda and a former Vice-President of the Ramakrishna Order. The masterly introduction by Swami Yatiswarananda guides those who wish to know why to pray and what to pray for. It also deals with the historical and psychological development of the hymns.
