The all pervading Divine is the Creator of the Universe controls the Universe and He is the master of the Past, Present and the Future. He is the Creator, Sustain-er and Destroyer of all beings. He exists in full splendor and is the essence of all beings and nurtures all beings.
This Shloka enables one to master oneself. The whole life revolves around various situations where we are always trying to win over situations or others, trying to control the movement of others. This attitude leads to poor health in the long run. Personally observed that those who try to control the movement of others lose control of their own physical movement in the long run. Life's all about moving with the flow. And that's exactly what this shloka can enable one to do. Flow with the flow of life by mastering your own self.

Ashwini Nakshatram 1st Padam.
How to use
this shloka?
Listen to the
Vishnu Sahasranamam daily in the morning and the evening. It is available on
you tube, and M S Subbalaskhmi’s pronounciation is excellent and melodious.
Listening to the same regularly and following the scriptures while listening
will soon enable you to chant yourself.
After listening
to the whole VS, then chant the above mentioned shloka designed specially for
your nakshatra 11 times minimum.
You can offer
to the deity in your altar flowers and leaves that appease Lord Maha Vishnu,
Lotus, White Flowers, Tulsi leaves etc.
Light incense
sticks before beginning the chants. Light a ghee lamp also if possible.
Start noticing
subtle changes within yourself, your surroundings. The slow, soft subtle
changes evolve into major life transformations very gently.
You will
discover more ease within yourself. More peace within. Less discomfort
experienced. Increase in patience, perseverance, precision, peace, positivity
and prosperity are all part of you. You are part of the entire universe, and
you are the entire universe, the universe in entirety gets connected to every
bit of you and vice versa. Your life purpose becomes visible, clarity in every
area is natural.
Just try it,
become the words that you chant.
How does it
get any better and simpler than this?
Life is easy,
Life is effortless, Life is Simple, Life is full of Joy, Life is Happy

लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनोभवंतु ॥
Advanced
level of using the Shlokas
Going a step further to using the essence of timing
for further benefits, do chant the SHLOKA designed for the Nakshatra of the day
before chanting your own nakshatra. Chant this shloka 11 times minimum, this
will enable you to merge with the energy of the day, and allow the vice versa.
There are 27 Nakshatras, and every Sunrise is emerging
with energy of a
particular Nakshatra daily. So if you have a panchang,
you can check – you may even do an online check of the days Nakshatra, and
choose to read the Shloka designed for the particular Nakshatra of the day.
So, for example
If today’s nakshatra is Maham, and you belong to the
Ashwini Nakshatra First Padam/Charan, then follow the following ritual :
First listen/chant the whole Vishnu Sahasranamam.
Then chant for your own Nakshatra – Ashwini.
Then chant all four shlokas of the Maham Nakshatra.
The best timing to chant the Shlokas.
The Vishnu Sahasranaamam is best chanted during the
Brahma Muhurat. There is a magical silence, the sound of this silence has a
vast, expansive effect on every individual.
When is the Brahma Mahurat?
Begins at 3.30 am and is a time when lung is
functioning at its peak.
At what other time can the shlokas be chanted?
To bring in stability we see an auspicious time to
make a start. Then once you master yourself, there is no binding of TIME &
Space on you, You go beyond the clutches of time!! All time is good time!! All
in good time!!
These can be chanted during the day. Avoid chanting
during the nights. A good nights sleep is best for regulation of the breath!!
