Pithu Padam Namamaham

One of my fellow emloyees used to read a piece of paper everyday before he started working. I asked him what was this? He said it was a prayer. I thought I am doing a similar thing since I used to keep my father's photograph on my dressing table and worship him, saying" Pithu Padam Namamaham" which gives me a very pleasant feeling to start the day and feel like getting my father's blessings to achieve whatever the things I face in my life.
