How we begin the day makes all the difference. If we begin the day invoking auspiciousness, love, peace, truth etc, we have set the tone for a great day ahead. Shiva personifies all the above and much more. Remembering Shiva as soon as one wakes up is one of the best ways to begin the day. What we invoke, we become that. Invoke Shiva and become Shiva.\xa0

We learn 3 morning-verses written by Sri Adi Shankaracharya in this series of 3 reels. Each line is chanted twice. Once you can hear and second time you can repeat. Here is the first one.\xa0

Meaning:
1.1 In the Early Morning, I Remember Sri Shiva, Who Destroys the Fear of Worldly Existence(fearlessness to meet the challenges of the day) and Who is the Lord of the Devas(Our senses),\xa0
1.2 Who Holds River Ganga on His Head(symbolising Service), Who has a Bull as His Vehicle(symbolising righteousness) and Who is the Lord of Devi Ambika(symbolising deepest love),
1.3 Who has a Club and Trident in His two Hands(to destroy negativity), And confers Boons and Fearlessness with His other two Hands and Who is the Lord of the Universe,
1.4 Who is the Medicine(Self-Knowledge) to Destroy the Disease of transmigration and Who is the One without a second(Non-Dual Truth).
