'Brahma Muhurtham', is the best time for 'Sadhana

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna,

'Brahma Muhurtham' is the most auspicious time for 'Sadhana'

Early morning (4 AM to 6.30 AM) is called 'Brahma Muhurtham', the most auspicious time to worship Sri Krishna, the Supreme God . At that time, most of the people are in deep sleep and will not 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. Early morning, the atmosphere is not polluted by the radiations of worldly feelings. At that time, sincere devotees having completed the ablutions, they fix their mind on Sri Krishna and pray Him . Their pure mental rays pervade all over the world and make the time sacred. Thus it becomes congenial and encouraging atmosphere for ‘Sadhana’ (Spiritual Effort).

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 purified.

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 emits radiations effecting you. Therefore, even the vision of materialistic people, not to say about their touch, conversation and co-living, is harmful to your ‘Sadhana’. If you worship God after sunrise, close your eyes to avoid such people. But, their mental radiations spread all over the cosmos and inevitably reduces the effectiveness of your worship.

It is advisable 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.

Veda, Gita and the very first verse of ‘Sandhyavandanam’ say that God can be worshiped even disregarding 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 Bhagavan Krishna closing your eyes. Thus the time has its own invisible effect on the ‘Sadhana’. ‘Sattva’ is prominent in the early morning, ‘Rajas is prominent in the day time and Tamas is prominent in the night .

Therefore early morning is the divine time called as Brahma Muhurtham, the most auspicious time to worship , the purely ‘Sattvic’ Supreme Godhead, Sri Krishna.

May Bhagavan Sri Krishna bless you all !!!

Your humble servant,

Narayana Das
