Prātaḥ smaraṇam (śaṅkarācārya)
This morning prayer of only three verses, directs our mind, speech and body to the Absolute. Chanted in the morning, dawn becomes the outer symbol of our inner awakening and sets the tone for how the rest of the day could potentially unfold for us.
Composed by Śaṅkaracārya, this prayer captures the essence of Vedanta in just three masterful verses. In this self-paced workshop, you can learn to chant these verses, understand their significance and the role of prayer in one’s life.
