May today's sunrise make us pure

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

I grew up in a home where it was expected that we sit at our family

altars for a few minutes just after having our morning baths.

Typically one would recite a shloka or two, end with a pranam and

then rush off into the world. This ingrained habit continues to this

day , just like morning coffee.

 

Somedays, I use this time for Shiva Puja, but if I don't , then

atleast a few "Om Namah Shivaya"s

 

For the past few days, I have utilized this time to read a few

passages and meditate on those words. It has been a lovely way to

set the tone for the day.

 

Today I read a few verses from Chapter 4 of the Rudrashtadhyayi (If

Chandi is my favorite, Rudri is my favorite favorite ...) and here

are the words that spoke to me today ...

 

"Hey all Gods,

turn us away from sin,

remove all confusion, all evil.

MAY TODAY'S SUNRISE MAKE US PURE!

May Mitra, Varuna, Mother of the Gods , Aditi, rivers , earth, and

heaven HELP US TO FULFILL OUR PROMISE"

 

May we all keep focussed on fulfilling our promise of realizing our

Divinity.

 

JAI SURYA BHAGAWAN - THE LIGHT OF WISDOM.
