This document contains summaries of two Sanskrit prayers. The first prayer honors the goddess Sharada as the source of wisdom and knowledge who dispels ignorance. She is described as holding a rosary and sitting on a lotus. The second prayer describes the cosmic principle of the guru as equivalent to Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshvara, representing the three gunas or qualities of sattva, raja, and tama. It states that a loving guru takes students beyond these three gunas by guiding them from ignorance to knowledge.
