Morning

Divine Morning Prayer

To be chanted in the morning as soon as we get up from the bed and has to be chanted looking at the palm of our hands.

Karaagre Vaasate Lakshmi
Kara Madhye Saraswathi
Kara Moole Sthita Gauri
Prabahate Kara Darshanam

Meaning

On the tip of my fingers resides Lakshmi, the Goddess of propserity and wealth. In the middle of my hands is Saraswathi, the Goddess of knowledge and learning. In the palm of my hands sits Mother Gauri, the Goddess of protection. Visulaizing in this manner, I take darshan of my hands every morning.

English Version

“Oh Lord, I Am Now Born From The Womb Of Sleep.

I Am Determined To Carry Out All The Tasks This Day As Offerings To Thee,

With Thee Ever Present Before My Mind’s Eye.

Make My Words, Thoughts And Deeds Sacred And Pure;

Let Me Inflict No Pain On Anyone; Let No-One Inflict Pain On Me.

Direct Me, Guide Me This Day”.
