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
