Prabhatha Shlokam
Karagre Vasate Lakshmi
Kara Madhye Saraswathi
Kara moole sthithe gowri
Prabathe Kara Darshanam
Meaning:-
Karagre-on the tip of your fingers; vasate- dwells; Lakshmi- the Goddess of Prosperity,
karamadhye- in the middle of your hands; Saraswathi - the goddess of knowledge
karamoole- on the base of your hands; Gowri - lies the mother Goddess
prabhate-in the morning; karadarshanam- look at your palm.
This is a Morning Prayer called “karadarshana” . One begins the day with this prayer. ‘kara” means the palm of the hand and it stands for the five karmendriyas, or the organs of action. While looking at the palm, one invokes the Lord in the form of various deities, thus sanctifying all the actions that will be done during the day. By acknowledging the Lord as the giver of the capacity to perform actions and as the giver of the fruits of those actions, one sanctifies the actions. Thus, one prays in the morning to reinforce the attitude that all actions are performed as a service to the Lord.
2. Samudravasane Devi Parvatastanamandale
Vishnupatni Namastubhyam Padasparsham Kshamasva Me
Meaning:-
The ocean is your clothing, the mountain, your bosom, I am about to step on You, so please forgive me.
The Earth is as great as our Mother. Hence it is called Mother Land. The food, the shelter, the water and the air all that we need we get from the Earth. She fondles the mankind with motherly affection. So this humble prayer of gratitude is offered to her before we step on her.
