fingers is Goddess Saraswati; in the middle of your fingers is Lord
Govinda. In this manner, look at your palm." When we begin our day

attitude, dedication, discipline and love.

• When the bristles are no longer effective, cut that piece of the stick
away and start again from step 2

improves eye sight, nourishes muscles, and
improves age (life expectancy) and skin
complexion. – Ashtanga Samgraha Sutrasthana.
