Here are some great sanskrit hymns from ancient Indian texts..
Nahi Jnanena Sadrsham
Nothing is equivalent to knowledge
Vasudaiva Kutumbakam
The whole earth is a family
Satyameva Jayate
Truth always triumphs
Dharmo Rakshathi Rakshithaha
He who carries out his duties shall be protected
Sarvejana Sukhinobhavanthu
May all the people in this universe live with happiness and prosperity
Janma Jaata Shudra Sarve
Karmenu Brahman Bhavati
All humans are inferior (Shudra) by birth and they become superior
(Brahmins) only by their good deeds later in their life.
Asatho Ma Sathgamaya,
Thamaso Ma Jyothirgamaya
Mruthyorma Amrthangamya
Lead me towards truth from untruth
Lead me towards light from darkness
Lead me towards immortality from Death
Yatra Naaryasthu poojyanthe
Ramanethe thatra devathaha
Where women are treated with dignity and Womanhood is worshipped,
there Roam the GODS
Ekam Sat Vipraha bahudha vadanti
There is but one God, learned scholars call this God by different names
Isha vasya midam sarvam
The entire universe is pervaded by God
Sarve amritasya putrah
We are all the children of God
Ati Vinayam Dhoortha Lakshanam
Too much of humbleness is an attribute of a wicked person
Aham Brahmasmi
I am God (indicating God lives inside humans)
Lobhaha Papasya Karanam
Greed is the root cause of sin
Matru Devo Bhava Pitru Devo Bhava
Acharya Devo Bhava Athithi Devo Bhava
Treat your Mother, Father, Teacher and Guest like a God
Satyam bruyat priyam bruyat na bruyat satyam apriyam
priyam cha nanrutam bruyat esha dharmah sanatanah
Only speak the truth that is pleasant to others
Do no speak the truth that might be unpleasant to others
Never speak untruth that is pleasant to others
This is the path of the eternal morality called Sanatana Dharma
Annam na nindhyath
Annam na pari-chaksheeta
Annam bahu kurveeta
Do not abuse food
Do not discard food
Grow food in abundance!
shubham karoti kalyaaNam aarogyam dhanasampadaa
shatrubuddhi vinaashaaya deepajyoti namostute
I salute the light from the lamp, the one that brings auspiciousness,
prosperity, good health, abundance of wealth, and the destruction of
the intellect's enemy!
(said while lighting the evening lamp)
Kaalaaya Tasmai Namaha
Salutations to that great entity called TIME
Satyam Vadha Dharmam Chara
Speak the truth, follow the righteous path
Aa no bhadrah kratavo yantu vishwatah
May auspicious thoughts come to us from all over the world.
Mata Bhumih putro ham prithvyah
Earth is our mother and we are its children.
