Brahama Muhtra Prayer
I acknowledge the Creator and give thanks for the opportunity to greet another day. It is my intention to honor this day by presenting my best self to the world. It is my goal for today to be kind to everyone I meet. I will look for the best in everyone and treat everyone I meet with kindness and respect. I will share a smile whenever I can because I believe a smile has the power to make lives better.
It is my intention to take time each morning to welcome the new day. In Hindi, the 48 minute period before sunrise is a “Muhtra.” Brahama Muhtra literally means “The Creator’s Time.” In Hindi tradition, this is when the world as we know it was created. This is the best time of day to honor the Creator and to receive knowledge. Meditating, reading, writing, creating a plan for the day, reflecting, and remembering your parents and the Creator are the best ways to honor the new day. This is my prayer which I use to remind me of these intentions and motivate me to carry them with me throughout the day.
