significance of early morning in the worship of God

[Guest guest]

Q179) What is the significance of early morning in the worship of God?

 

Ans) Early morning is called Brahma Muhurtham, which means that it is the time

to worship God. At that time, all the people are in deep sleep and nobody will

disturb you. The atmosphere is sacred because the vibrations of mind involved in

world matters are not emitted from the people since they are in deep sleep. Mind

is also a form of energy. Mind disappears in deep sleep. The atmosphere is not

polluted by the radiations of worldly feelings. At that time devotees awake and

pray God. Their pure mental rays pervade all over the world and make the time

sacred. Thus it becomes congenial and encouraging atmosphere. After sunrise

people awake and the materialistic mental radiations are emitted through their

physical senses. The atmosphere is polluted. People will disturb you dragging

you to materialistic discussions. Even by seeing face, you will be effected. If

you see a devotee, you become sacred. The mind and body are inter-related. Since

mind is energy and energy is matter, even if

you see the body, the mind in that body is emitted out effecting you.

Therefore, avoid even the vision of materialistic people, not to say about their

touch, conversation and co-living. After sunrise when you worship God, close

your eyes to avoid such people. But, their mental radiations spread all over the

cosmos and are inevitable. It is better to walk in the early morning while

singing devotional songs. Morning walk is good for health. Apart from this, the

mind desires dynamic condition of the body. The body was in static condition all

over the night. Mind is always for a change. Satisfy the mind and you should not

unnecessarily control the mind when it is not necessary. You can pray God even

without bath. Veda, Gita and the very first verse of Sandhyavandanam say that

God can be worshipped irrespective of physical formalities. After some time body

is tired and the mind needs rest. By that time, sunrise is over. Now you sit at

a place and worship God closing your eyes. Thus the

time has its own invisible effect on the spiritual effort. Sattvam is prominent

in the early morning. Rajas is prominent in the day time. Tamas is prominent in

the night. Therefore early morning is the divine time called as Brahma

Muhurtham.
