On Hinduism as a whole. I am very curious, and would like to know more. I would like to find a site that is good to start, or perhaps even a book that can help me understand this more. Thank you to those who read this, and even more thanks to those who answer ^^.

I have been meditating, and slowly feeling a difference in my life. A positive aura is surrounding me, and I feel perky most of the time. I have friends who are not feeling so lucky. I wish to know if there are any mantras I can include for them, even if it is just a hope that they will feel better I can't ignore the way they are feeling, and yes I have been actively talking to them, but one or two are just closing themselves off.
