Naman [Salutation]

 

अलंकारः प्रियो विष्‍णु जलधारा शिव प्रीयाः
नमस्‍कारः प्रियो भानु ब्राम्‍हणो मधुरः प्रीया ||

Meaning:
Lord Vishnu is worshipped with ornaments.
Lord Shiva is worshipped with Jalabhishek. (Constant water flow on the
head.)
The Sun God is worshipped with Surya Namaskar.
And Brahman loves sweets.

Significance:
You worship lord Vishnu with the work you do. Every work that you do should be excellent in every respect. It should be made of pure gold. Agni (the fire) removes all impurities from it. Dedicate such a work, such an ornament to Lord Vishnu. You can, of course, offer gold ornaments to Lord Vishnu. The money you use to buy ornaments should be earned through thoroughly just and fair means.

Your efforts in attaining excellence in every work should be like a flow of water. The attempts you make should be steady and progressive just like the flow of river - ever running towards the destination. The water is Jeewan (Life force). The word means life giving. Your efforts should rejuvenate your life and the life of others also. While using your physical and mental capacity in your efforts you should be cool and calm just like water is. You cant separate coldness from water. Dont have any tension; dont be anxious about the results. Have complete faith in God. Dedicate your work to HIM.

The world Bhanu means the Sun God. The practice of Surya Namaskar everyday, early in the morning, is the real worship to the Sun God. The Sun God is the source of energy to all. Perform Surya Namaskar in order to keep the body healthy and to get the stamina to work. The more you
work the more energetic you become.

The word Brahman means the person who knows what Brahma is. The Paramatma, the supreme self is present in every living and nonliving thing. HE alone navigates this entire universe. The heat / energy / life force in your body is the presence of Brahma / the Sun God. One who knows these things collects and distributes nectar to everybody. He is a sweet tongued person and loved and respected and wanted by all.
