865. Om lila-vigraha-dharinyai namah: I bow down to Amma who assumes various glorious forms as a sport.
Found this priceless nugget in www.amritapuri.org about prayers and spiritual practices to be done before sleep:
Just before going to sleep at night, sit on your bed and meditate for at least five minutes, and then bow down to your beloved deity or Master. When doing this, you can imagine that you are holding on tightly to the feet of your beloved deity, and pray with all your heart: “O God, please forgive me for all the mistakes I have knowingly or unknowingly committed today, and give me the strength to refrain from repeating them.”
Then, imagine that you are lying with your head in the lap of, or at the feet of, your beloved deity or Master, or you can imagine that your deity is sitting next to you. Let yourself glide into the state of sleep while mentally chanting your mantra. By doing this, the awareness of the mantra will remain unbroken during sleep. Teach your children to acquire this habit. They should also be taught to wake up at regular times.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
