Cc Madhya 24.334-355

------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as I wake up, the first thing I do is I say Prabhupāda's praṇāma mantra:
namo om viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe
nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe

Following that, I chant the Pañca-tattva Mahā-mantra: Jaya Śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya Prabhu Nityānanda, Śrī-Advaita Gadādhara Śrīvāsādi-gaura-bhakta-vṛnda. Then, I chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahā-mantra: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare; Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. The verse from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (SB 10.90.48):
jayati jana-nivāso devakī-janma-vādo
yadu-vara-pariṣat svair dorbhir asyann adharmam
sthira-cara-vṛjina-ghnaḥ su-smita-śrī-mukhena
vraja-pura-vanitānāṁ vardhayan kāma-devam

I say all those before I swing my legs out of the bed. Then, before I put my right foot on the floor, I say, "Oh, Mother Bhūmi, please forgive me for stepping on your surface." Then as soon as I have two feet on the floor, I say, "Thank you, Śrīla Prabhupāda." And then whoever I feel gratitude for at that time, I start saying thank you to them. It's usually God brothers, or whomever happens to be fresh in my mind when I take a moment of gratitude before I stand up.

That prayer, Jayati jana-nivāso, has a history to it, but it's in the paddhati as one of the prayers that one may say upon waking up. So is asking Mother Bhūmi for forgiveness for stepping on her surface. It adds something special: a reminder of how good she is to us and how abundant the world is—that Mother Bhūmi, "Please forgive me for stepping on your surface"—and also treading lightly, being careful wherever we go. So those are what I say when I wake up in the morning (28:53).
