(Early Morning Mantra)


कराग्रे वसते लक्ष्मी करमध्ये सरस्वती |

करमूले तु गोविन्दा प्रभाते करदर्शनम् ||

Karaagre Vasate Lakshmi Karamadhye Saraswati
Karamoole Tu Govinda Prabhaate Karadarshanam


Lakshmi resides in the fingers, Saraswati in the center of the palm

Lord Vishnu dwells around the wrist. It is therefore auspicious to look at your hand first thing in the morning and contemplate on them

(Prayer to be recited before eating food)

ॐ ब्रह्मार्पणं ब्रह्महविर ब्रह्मज्ञौ  ब्रह्मणाहुतं  |
ब्रह्मैव तेन गन्तव्यं ब्रह्मकर्म समाधिन: ||

Om Brahmaarpanam Brahmahavir Bhramajnau Brahmanaahutam
Brahmaiva Tena Gantavyam Brahmakarma Samaadhinaha


The act of offering is Brahman. The offering itself is Brahman. The offering is done by Brahman in the sacred fire, which is Brahman. 

He alone attains Brahman who, in all actions, is fully absorbed in Brahman. As we chant this prayer we are offering the different types of food to Brahman

Gurursaakshaat Parabrahma Tasmai Sri Gurave Namaha

The Guru is Brahma, the Guru is Vishnu, the Gurudeva (Guru who is God) is Maheshwara (Shiva),
The Guru is verily the Para-Brahman (Supreme Brahman); my salutations to that Guru
