Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 The sandhya time as stated in the vedas is for few scientific reasons. One there is lot of sublimal changes that happen during this period in nature which effects the body particularly the mental state of a person. The twilight timings are one hour on either side of morning & evening 6 'O' Clock, similarly midnoon & midnight12 'O' Clock. This means technically, in all yoga recommendations, it is said that one need to pray four times (during this twilight hours ) in a DAY. The reason for the one hour on either side is that once you start your prayers, possible that your mind is not focussed initially, hence, the gradual focussing time is taken for consideration that by end of first hour, things would be "naturalized". That is why in traditional or orthodox families, elders in the house, insist that people should not sleep during this time ( except for midnight 12 "O' Clock ). For sleeping the elders adviced that one should go to bed by 22:00 hrs, The hours between 22:00 hrs & morning 02:00 hrs are the best for soothing the vibrations of the body......through nature...... This is particularly emphasised by all Yogis, stated many times in her conversations by Sri Aurobindo and "Mother" ( Smt Mira Alfasa ). This timings have special spiritual significance. In mythology it is also said that during the evening twilight hours, Yaksha ganas move in the blue sky......any particular wish or desire ( valid ones only - i.e. DO NOT aspire of Ms. Aiswariya Rai.. or Ms. Britney Spears !!!!.. just for humor sake !!! ) "IF" heard by them, found valid by them, the wish gets fulfilled !!!! ( Great message boy / girls !! ) If you have noticed the faces of the people who are regular early risers ( morning say 04:00 hrs ), irrespective of they doing their prayers or not, if they have practised this for 12 Years, one can find a special radiance on their face..... If you not watched it, start watching now.... Select the people those follow the spiritual path seriously i.e. like the people following some Spiritual guru.... In Hindu scriptures, 12 Years has special significance, for scriptures specify that practising of Yoga related things....it takes 12 years ( long years!! ) to make single atom effect in the body.... that single atom effect..... has a MORE potential of a Nuclear Atomic bomb....... Further, if you have not met your relatives or brothers or sisters....etc.. for a period of 12 years that relation is supposed to be OFF as per Hindu scriptures...... This is relevant for those where "HATE" issues prevail - specifically NOT for those where love or sincerity prevails IN HEART. Ofcourse, there are other exceptions.....

Does it mean in the morning twilight also?2. I am not aware how to calculate the exact duration of twilight, its start and end. Does it start after sun rise or does it end at sunrise.
