Bedtime Slokas
Bedtime is the time when
people want to relax themselves after the long hectic schedules of the day.
It is considerable to remember God at such time. Following Bedtime Sloka /
Shloka is a bedtime prayer of the Hindus.
"Karacharana Krn Itam Vaakkaayajam Karmajam Vaa,
Shravananayanajam Vaa Maanasam Vaaparaadham,
Vihitamavihitam Vaa Sarvametatkshamasva,
Jaya Jaya Karunaabdhe Shriimahaadeva Shambho"
Meaning: The literal meaning of the mantra is: "O God, kindly pardon my
incorrect actions done consciously or unconsciously, either through my
organs of action (hand, feet, and speech) or through my organs of perception
(eyes, ears) or by my mind. I adore the God, who is the ocean of kindness".
Significance: By God's grace, we have completed one more day of our life.
So, in order to thank god and to ask for his mercy, one can recite this
Sloka. This bedtime Sloka is a prayer to God asking him to excuse our
mistakes and maintain his mercy on us.
