karaagre vasathe (Morning shloka)

MORNING SLOKA :

The below sloka is to be said as soon as we get up from our bed looking at our palm.


Karaagre vasathe Lakshmi
Karamadhye Saraswathi
Karamoolethu Govinda
Prabhathey Karadarshanam.






Meaning :





The front part of the hands (the finger tips) are ascribed to Goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, the middle part (the palm proper) to Goddess Saraswati - the Goddess of learning and the root (the part of hand near the wrist) to Govinda (God). Therefore, every morning, one should have a respectful look at one's hand which symbolizes honest labor.
