 A hast jyotishi student saying his morning prayer.

According to Eastern thought, in order for the hast jyotishi to begin the day in a harmonious manner, we can practice the following technique. Before getting out of bed, or talking with anyone, we should gaze into our two hands and say the following mantra: Karagray Wastay Lakshmi, Karmadiay Saraswati, Karmulay Tu Govinday, Prabatay Kar Darshanam. The mantra is translated as: Lakshmi, the Goddess of prosperity, lives in my fingers; Saraswati, the Goddess of wisdom, lives in my palms; and God, the ultimate creative force, throbs ceaselessly in my pulse at the root of my hands. What a blessing to begin my day by acknowledging the divine forces working within me. Having said this mantra, find out which nostril is dominant and touch the ground with the corresponding hand. With the same hand, touch your forehead and get out of bed with the corresponding foot. In this way, we literally start our day “on the right foot”
