The Pratah Smarana Stotram is a powerful three-verse morning prayer composed by Adi Shankaracharya to awaken self-awareness and Advaita-Vedanta philosophy. It guides the mind to meditate on the supreme consciousness shining within as the Self, often recited upon waking to gain clarity, peace, and spiritual focus for the day. Translation: I meditate in the morning, upon the greatly exalted form of Sun God, Whose plane is Rig Veda, whose body is Yajur Veda, Whose rays are Sama Veda, who is the source of light, And whose unimaginable form does the work of holy trinity I salute in the morning, the sun god who has a body of fire, With my body, words and my mind, Who is being worshipped by Brahma and other devas, Who causes rain and also becomes the cause of no rain, Who looks after all the three worlds and has three qualities. I sing in the morning about Sun God with his limitless powers, Who is divine and removes sin, enemies, diseases and sorrows, Who is the source of measurement of time for all the worlds, Who is the primeval God responsible for freeing the tie in the neck of Cows Those who read the three stanza prayer to Sun God in the morning, Would get rid of all diseases and would enjoy pleasures in the other world.
