As the First Planetary Hour Ruler today,01 04 18, is the Sun and Arka Shambhu.....
   Omkaram Bindu Samyuktam or Shad Akshara Stotra 

This is known as Shad Akshara Mantra

With six verses, beginning with

Each letter of the six glorious letters,

Om, Na Ma Si Va Ya !

The letters Six are He !

He who is of the nature of AUM

Symbolising the three states relative

Waking, dreaming and dreamless sleep

And the Fourth, Transcendence

Who resides as Dot in the Heart

Meditated by Yogis ever

Who is the conferror

Of both Liberation and Prosperity

To Him of the form of AUM

I bow in reverential awe !

Omkaaram Bindu-Samyuktam Nityam Dhyaayanti Yoginah
Kaamadam Mokssadam Caiva Omkaaraaya Namo Namah

We begin the day with a Bhajan.

Visweswaraya narakarnava tharanaya,
Karnamruthaya Sasi shekara dharanaya,
Karpoorakanthi dhavalaya jada dharaya,
Daridrya Dukha dahanaya Nama Shivaya.

As the First Planetary Hour Ruler ( today, 30 03 18 ) is Venus and Annapoorneswari Lakshmi....................

 The Eightfold Verse about the Mother Divine

 Like Socrates who said " I know nothing, not even my own ignorance", Sankara was also known for his humility. "I know not Philosophy, Literature or Science " , he says in his poem, Bhavani Ashtakam. I am one of the worst beings and my only refuge is Thee !

 Neither do I know how to donate,
Nor Meditation transcendental
Neither do I know Tantra,
Nor the stanzas of prayer great,
Worshipping is unknown to me ,
Nor do I know the art of yoga,
Thou art my only Refuge , O Mother Divine !
