Best prayer to start with is one that is universal in scope. It is for only those who have an open mind!
From: Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (1.3.28)
असतोमा सद्गमय ।
तमसोमा ज्योतिर् गमय ।
मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय ॥
ॐ शान्ति शान्ति शान्तिः ।।
The meaning is :
From ignorance, lead me to truth;
From darkness, lead me to light;
From death, lead me to immortality
Om peace, peace, peace
Christians and Muslims can say a prayer of their own choice.
Agnostics can just watch and hear and wonder.
Atheists can just have moment of silence wishing the best for humanity.
