Oh !!! :-) Well, I think that is very interesting, what you said about the vibrations. And Satvic vibrations are in the morning. So those are teh vibrations that bring is closer to the Union of Shiva and Shakti. I wonder when the most Tamas vibrations are? The most Raja? Would high noon be the time of greatest Raja? Jai Ma !!!

This is not about a person, or at what time the person has to get up (for the record, I don't get up before 7 atleast yet). This is about what is considered as the defined time for brahmamuhurta; i thought it was 3 thru 6, and one can get up anytime between this for meditation. if you are getting up at 4, that's ok too. but the 3-6 thingy was more being discussed here for info purposes, not being said to challenge anyone's practices. > What is important is that the earth has a sattvic vibration at > that early morning time span.

In India generally sun rises 6- 6.30, so most Indian books refer to the period as between 4-6. Generally speaking, the time when Vata dosha predominates is an excellant time for japa (which can go from 2am to 7am), as vata has to do with the vibrations of ether (which corresponds to the tanmatra of sound). -yogaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also believed that Adi Sankara formulated her modes of worship, so that Hemambika is visualised as Saraswati at dawn, Lakshmi at noon, and Durga at twilight. So sattwa in morning, rajas in noon, and tamas at twilight And the full article on bhagavatis in palakkad http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/fr/2002/06/14/stories/2002061401080600.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 "Saraswati at dawn, Lakshmi at noon, and Durga at twilight. So sattwa in morning, rajas in noon, and tamas at twilight" A bit too easy. Dusk, the time when the air is filled with a golden light (at least here in Canada), is also a very sattvic time. Noon, by itself may be rajasic, but after having lunch many people are tamasic. And then there is the tamas, rajas, and sattva of the individual to consider. A 'morning person', someone who wakes early and is full of energy might be tired by noon. Some people are not 'morning people', they are sluggish in the morning and could well find that noon is rajasic. It is fortunate that there there is another propitious time for them to meditate, i.e. at dusk. There are also 'night people' who enjoy working in the evening or all night, in which case, meditation at midnight might suit them best. Perhaps the person who came up with the idea of "sattwa in morning, rajas in noon, and tamas at twilight" did so because they were, in fact, only unconsiously describing themselves and projecting that observatiion onto all of us and onto the world at large AND giving it legitimacy by investing it with the spirt of the Devis. Because of ego, we have to guard against the many ways that we can make ourselves the center of the universe. He Prabho Ananda Data Gyana Hamako Dijiye Seegra Sare Durgunonko Dura Hamase Kijiye Lijiye Hamako Sarana Me Ham Sadachari Bane O Lord, Giver of Bliss Give me knowledge Quickly take my bad habits Very far from me Take me who has surrendered to you Make me one of good qualities.
