Pratah Smaran Dainik Upasana Shlok About
Pratah Smaran Dainik Upasana is a sacred morning prayer and routine practice in Hindu tradition involving remembrance of divine beings and natural elements. It begins with Karadarshanam, gazing at one’s palms to visualize deities Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Govinda residing in them, followed by prayers to Earth, the Sun, and other cosmic forces.
Meaning
The prayer acknowledges that Goddess Lakshmi (wealth) resides in the fingertips, Goddess Saraswati (knowledge) in the palm's center, and Lord Govinda (Vishnu) at the wrist. It seeks the forgiveness of Mother Earth for stepping on her, invokes the blessings of the Sun and rivers, and pays respect to the Trimurti and the nine planets (Navagrahas).
