Early Morning
is considered as the best time to worship God. Early morning is also known as
"Brahma
Mahurat" in the Hindu Mythology. It is regarded that prayers made at this
time reach
directly to the
God. Early Morning Shloka (Sloka) is given here which also serves as the first
prayer of the
day to the almighty.
Karaagre Vasathe
Lakshmi Karamadhye Saraswathi,
Karamoole Thu
Govinda Prabhaathe Karadarshanam,
Samudravasane
Devi Parvathasthana mandale,
Vishhnupathni
Namastubhyam Paadhasparsham Kshamasva Mey
Meaning:
The front part
of the hands (the finger tips) is credited to Goddess Lakshmi, the
Goddess of
wealth. The middle part or palm is credited to Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess
of
learning and
the root (the part of hand near the wrist) to Govinda. So, every morning, one
should have a
reverent look at one's hand which represents sincere labor.
I bow to Mother
Earth, who has mountains and jungles on her body and whose clothing is
made by the
ocean. The wife of Lord Vishnu, please pardon me for touching you with my feet.
It is
considered propitious to start the day with this sincere prayer.
Sloka While
Eating
Eating is an
important activity, which is required in order to live. It is God, who has
created
each and every
thing. Food, hunger, living beings, all of them form the part of God's
creation.
One should
remember God, the omnipresent, who has given both, sweet and sour delicacies to
satisfy our
taste-buds. Following is the Sloka/ Shloka which can be recited while eating or
taking
your food.
"Brahmaarpanam
Brahma Havih Brahmaagnau Brahmana Hutam,
Brahmaiva Tena
Gantavyam Brahmakarmasamaadhina"
Meaning:
The accurate
meaning of this mantra is: "A practice of offering is Brahman, the
oblation is
Brahman, the device of offering is Brahman, and the fire (hunger) to which the
offering is
made, is also Brahman. For such a one, who abides in everything (Brahman), by
him
alone Brahman
is reached".
Significance
: Brahman
refers to God himself. This Shloka suggests that god is everywhere, in
the food,
inside the devotee and even the hunger is God. So, devotee is taking the food
(God)
to the hunger
(God). To put succinctly, we always thank god for his divine grace.
