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. Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping"
