जन-गण-मन-अध्निायक जय हे,
भारत भाग्य विधता।
पंजाब-सिंध्-गुजरात-मराठा,
द्राविड़-उत्कल बंग।
विन्ध्य-हिमाचल-यमुना-गंगा,
उच्छल जलध् ितरंग।
तव शुभ नामे जागे,
तव शुभ आशिष मांगे।
गाए तव जय गाथा,
जन-गण-मंगलदायक जय हे,
भारत-भाग्य-विधता,
जय हे ! जय हे !! जय हे !!!

वन्दे मातरम्
सुजलाम् सुफलाम् मलयज शीतलाम्
शस्य श्यामलाम् मातरम्
वन्दे मातरम् ।
शुभ्र ज्योत्सना पुलकित यामिनीम्
फुल्ल कुसुमित द्रुमदल शोभिनीम्
सुहासिनी सुमध्ुर भाषिनीम्
पुखदाम् वरदाम् मातरम्
वन्दे मातरम्, वन्दे मातरम् ।।

इतनी शक्ति हमें देना दाता

इतनी शक्ति हमे देना दाता,
मन का विश्वास कमजोर हो ना,
हम चले नेक रास्ते पे हमसे,
भूलकर भी, कोई भूल हो न,
इतनी शक्ति हमें देना दाता

1. हम अंध्ेरे में है। रोशनी दे,
खो ना दे तुझको ही दुश्मनी से
हम सजा पाएं अपने किए की,
मौत भी हो तो सहलें खुशी से
कल जो गुजरा हैं, फिर से ना गुजरे,
आने वाला व कल ऐसा हो ना,
इतनी शक्ति हमें देना दाता

2. हर तरफ जुल्म है बेबसी है,
सहमा-सहमा सा हर आदमी है,
पाप का बोझ बढ़ता ही जाए,
जाने कैसे ये ध्रती थमी है,
बोझ ममता का तूं ये उठाले,
तेरी रचना का ये अंत हो ना,
हम चले नेक रस्ते पे हमसे,
भूलकर भी, कोई भूल हो ना

and sisters. I love my country and I am proud of it
s rich and varied heritage. I shall always strive to
be worthy of it. I shall give my parents, teachers and

Our Father

Our Father / who art in heaven / hallowed be Thy name /
Thy Kingdom come / Thy will be done / on earth / as it is in heaven. /
Give us this day/ our daily bread / and forgive us our trespasses /
as we forgive / those who trespass / against us / and lead us not /
into temptation / but deliver us / from evil.
Amen.

Prayer of St.Francis of Assisi

Lord make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that
I may not so much 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,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Prayer for Peace

God, our loving Father,
You created this beautiful world,
and made man Lord of all creation.
Today in our selfishness,
our pride, our greed,
and our wanton way of life,
we have brought discord, violence
and war into our dear land.
O merciful Father,
heal our wounded hearts and minds,
pour the balm of your love and peace
into our troubled land,
and bring once more
the fragrance of fresh hope,
trust and harmony among us -
your broken people
so that soon from every heart may echo
the praise and glory of your Name.

Amen.

For Good Habits

O God,/ help me/ never allow any habit/
to get such a grip over me that I can not break it./
Specially keep me away from all habits/ which would injure my body and my mind./
Help me always/ to do my best/ to keep my body fit and healthy,/
and my mind clean and pure/Help me at present,/
to discipline/ and to train my self/
to learn and study.
In such a way that someday I may be able to/
do something/ worthwhile for the world/ and for you.

Amen.
