To start a day nicely..

रोचनं चन्दनं हेमं मृदङ्गं दर्पणं मणिं।

गुरुमग्निं रविं पश्येत् नमस्येत् प्रातरेव हि

धर्मशास्त्र

Rochanam chandanam hemam mrudanangam darpanam manim

Gurum agnim ravim pashyet

Namasyet pratareva hi.

From dharmasastras

One should wake up early in the morning and should see the following objects and offer respectful pranams too to them.

Gorochanam

Sanadal paste or chandanam

Gold

Mridangam the percussion instrument of musi

A plane and bright mirror

Precious gems

Gurus.. the preceptors and parents too

The well kindled fire

The rising sun

The idea seems to be universal.

Would do good even for an atheist or agnost too.

We may not see all these every day.

But even one item would bring happiness for us.
