Brahmamukurtham (Early morning)

First thing  to do when you wake up

See both your palm cupped together and recite

Vakratunda Mahakaya Surya Koti Sama PrabhaNirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva Karyesu Sarvada.

Watch this video to better understand the pronunciation of the Sloka and practice few times and
you will learn easily.

The fingertips of the palm is the dwelling of (Goddess) Shri Lakshmidevi, the central portion of the palm is of (Goddess) Shri Saraswatidevi and the base of the palm of Deity Shri Govind; hence, one should look at the palms immediately after waking up in the morning

This will help you for better start of the day.
