Hindu Prayers and Hymns is a collection of Mantras, Stotrams, Chaalisas, Aartis and Bhajans. This collection was assembled during my studies in Kashi - India. My inspiration to do this came from many sources during my lifetime and also mostly inspired during my time in India.
There is no claim to originality in this work. The words and information within this book are all available in ancient and modern scriptural work. To all the authors, creators, known and unknown, I owe a deep debt of gratitude to all of them.
My hope is that this book will allow seekers, practitioners, followers and inquisitive minds to learn, practice, and sing the praises of God through any of the mediums listed. Mantras become a part of our minds, Stotrams sing the mighty praises of God, Aartis allow us to perform worship to God, Chaalisas reminds us of the many actions performed by God, and Bhajans allow us to rejoice and be connected with God.
