Karmadhya tu Govind, Prabhate kardarshanam
Meaning:
On the tip of one's palms is Goddess Lakshmi; on the base of one's palms is Goddess Sarasvati; in the middle of one's palms is Lord Govinda. look at your palms.
Significance:
Laxmi, Saraswati and Govind reside on the palm, so one should bow to them with respect, this is the logic behind kardarshan. Of course, with common sense point of view, to get hold of Lakshmi (money) and Saraswati (knowledge) one has to do Karma (Krishna ) with our hands only, to remind one of this principle is the main logic behind kardarshan.

People feel their saliva is useful in transmitting chewed food from mouth to stomach, but it healing effect too. He should apply saliva on his eyes to keep them healthy Then he should get up with a big smile on his face.
After getting up from bed he should perform Namaskaar Mudra by touching the feet of elders with crossed hands and the elders respond by giving their blessings in the form of the Ashirvad Mudra by keeping their right hand on the head of child who is performing the Namaskaar Mudra. The effect of Namaskar Mudra is that when the child bows and touches the feet with crossed hands, the blood circulation to his head increases. When he touches the feet of elders with crossed hands, positive energy and negative energy of both sides get activated. By this a positive and a happy feeling grows in both of them. This way, the Namaskar and the Ashirvad become mutually beneficial.
