Smiles to all!
I keep Amma’s picture close to me so that I can see Her face soon after waking up….for me this is the best way to have begin the day positively.
First I look at clock (does that count?) Prepare myself to sit and say mantra on my mala and see Amma’s face. After that I allow myself to think & dive into the day.
It’s different each day. But I am happiest if my mantra or a thought of Amma comes to me first. I battle with a vague sense of dread some mornings but when that happens I think of Amma and all is well
‘AMMA’ Good Morning
The first thing i usually think is ‘ Oh i am no longer asleep’ Then i think of everything i am grateful for and at the top of that list is my beloved Amma. 🙂
“What day is today?”
Pray, “Om lalithae subhagae Devi….”
Amma bless my children and my family.
And then start my day.
First Thing I think about when I wake up in the Morning.- ” Oh God Mom should make the breakfast which I like the most Surely not IDLY and Dosa” then the Whole Day will be sleepy….
I think about my beloved one
depends on what I gotta do that day, how yesterday was and if I woke up to my alarm or not
Karagre Vasathe Lakshmi,
If I am not too sleepy……..
Lord Shiva…..Pure Purusha…..
imagining sacred offerings….
I feel deeply, truly and absolutely that everything, I mean EVERYTHING is a projection of my mind. Such beauty and peace comes naturally upon first awaking out of slumber. Then prayer and Gayatri mantra for a while then the archana.
It is AMMAs Lotus feet . Imagining as touching on them and pray for Her Grace.
I repeat my AMMA’s Holy mantra and say please bless all.
i thank my wife,my children ,my pitrus,my friends……..above all i thank amma
when i wake up there are many thoughts ready to attack me…lots of problems..small and big…fear…before attacking i will say amma save me…but the fear will win to attack me…how i solve these problems..
Generally when we wake up, the first thing come to the mind is the ‘I’ thought. Only after the ‘I’ thought, all the prayers come
Mantra then Amma then touching mother earth and thanking her for carrying us on her back
I sit up and do my pranams in front of Amma’s picture. Then I go about doing other things.
Look at AMMA’S photo & say AMRITESWARIYA NAMAH
Before I step out of bed I thank Mother repeat my AMMA’s Holy mantra
I think Oh I have got up when it is still dark and I can pray before the sun is up and the others awake. I look at Amma’s picture and bow. I also touch the marble floor, wishing it was really Mother Earth, If the sun is up, I mentally appreciate its colours and say namaste.
I pray to Amma and chant 3 times Lokah Samastha sukino bhavanthu.
Say Good Morning to my beloved AMMA
quickly wash my face and sit for pranayama and meditation
Resume mantra from my dreams, turn to right side, sit up, and look at palms of hands.
I am always thinking of God, no first or last
it is Amma only…
sometime on problems life, and most time on Gratitude versus You with Form and without form.
